To Andrea Houck, a home should feel as good as it looks. The soulful yet refined spaces she creates reflect each client\u2019s life, values and vision. \u201cOur clients want more than beauty\u2013they want a home that feels undeniably theirs,\u201d Houck shares. \u201cI believe every home should begin with a love story, and I\u2019m honored to help clients tell theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Raised in North Carolina, Houck credits her grandmother, a decorative arts painter, with inspiring her early passion for creativity. She brings a background in art direction and the eye of a seasoned designer with 25 years of experience to each project, whether it\u2019s a new build or a decorative makeover. \u201cOur work blends creative instinct with meticulous attention to detail,\u201d she offers. \u201cWe work across styles\u2014traditional, modern, and everything in between\u2014but always with a cohesive point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her eponymous firm, A. Houck Designs, manages every aspect of the process, offering clients a collaborative, full-service experience. Trust is the cornerstone. \u201cWe listen first, then create spaces with intention,\u201d the designer reveals. \u201cEvery choice is grounded in thoughtfulness, not fashion, so the results are personal and enduring. We help our clients fall in love with where they live.\u201d<\/p>\n
Houck\u2019s work has appeared in numerous publications, including Home & Design, Flower Magazine, Elle Decor, The Washington Post and Arlington Magazine. Houck has participated in DC-area show houses benefitting Children\u2019s National Health System. She shares her passion on her blog, Creating Spaces.<\/p>\n
