Full Service Interior Design Portfolio

Your home should feel warm, functional, and unmistakably yours—not just beautiful in photos. At First District Designs, our full-service interior design process takes you from first idea to final cozy detail. Serving Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, we handle every stage of your project—space planning, sourcing, vendor coordination, and final styling—so you can enjoy the transformation without the stress. Inspired by the Dutch concept of gezellig, we design homes that welcome, connect, and grow with you.

Why Clients Choose First District Designs

Our clients come to us because they want more than just a “pretty room.” They want a home that:

  • Works for Real Life — Spaces that can handle family gatherings, quiet mornings, and everything in between.

  • Feels Welcoming — Rooms that invite conversation and create connection.

  • Adapts Over Time — Designs that evolve with your family’s needs.

They also want a partner who manages the details, communicates clearly, and keeps the process enjoyable from start to finish. That’s what we deliver.
