Our Manifesto

We design homes that feel undeniably alive — spaces that invite you to exhale, gather, and celebrate your story, every single day.

Our Story

Layered, soulful, timeless — we curate spaces with intention. Rooms where morning coffee tastes richer, hosting feels natural, and style whispers rather than shouts.

Founded in 2016 by principal designer Asha Maxey, Asha Maía Design is an award-winning interior design studio based in Alexandria, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and beyond. Our work blends classic and contemporary elements to create richly personal homes that are both beautiful and deeply livable.

We specialize in full-scope interior design for custom new builds and complete home furnishings. Each project is approached with care and creativity, balancing enduring character with ease of everyday living. From the bones of the architecture to the last collected accent, every detail is chosen to reflect our clients’ story — and support the way they truly want to live.

Asha Maía Design serves Alexandria, Virginia; Arlington, Virginia; Fairfax County; Loudoun County; Montgomery County; Washington, DC; surrounding areas, and beyond.

The Power of Color: Bold Choices for Sophisticated Interiors

Color is the unsung hero of a well-designed home. It evokes emotion, sets the tone, and tells your story in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal. At Asha Maía Design, we believe a bold color palette can be more than visually striking, it can be transformative. When applied thoughtfully, color enhances the emotional resonance of a space, strengthens its architectural narrative, and infuses your home with soul. This is interior design with intention.

Outdoor Living: Extending Your Home Beyond Four Walls

There is a quiet shift that occurs when we begin to see our homes not as confined structures, but as living environments that breathe beyond the walls. At Asha Maía Design, we believe that outdoor living is not a seasonal trend or a bonus—it’s a natural extension of your lifestyle and a vital chapter in your home’s story.
