Alexandra Levy
— a small, deliberate practice.
Interior designer, painter, and writer. Greenville, DE. Eight to ten residential projects a year and a print edition each month — slow on purpose.
How the studio
came to be.
Alexandra Levy is a painter who became an interior designer because she kept being told her artwork made a room feel like itself. She started taking on small interior projects in 2018, gave up the corporate-strategy day job in 2020, and has been running the studio out of Greenville, Delaware ever since.
The practice grew slowly on purpose. There is a small studio team — two designers, a project manager, a part-time studio coordinator — and a tight network of plasterers, finish carpenters, framers, and trade upholsterers the studio has worked with for years. Most projects come through referrals or through followers who write in after seeing a room on Instagram.
The work is residential, almost always full-scope, and lives somewhere between editorial restraint and the warmth of a place actually lived in. Art is built into every project — Alexandra paints originals for many of her interiors, and the limited-edition print drops grew directly out of clients asking to hang the same pieces in their own homes.
“Rooms aren't decided by a single chair. They're decided by everything else the chair makes you do.”
Three things the studio
actually believes.
Slow before fast.
Every project starts with two walk-throughs and a long conversation about how a family actually lives — before a single thing is sketched.
Material decisions, not just visual ones.
Plaster, oak, linen, brass. The rooms hold up because the things in them were chosen for how they'll wear, not how they photograph.
A room you'd actually want to live in.
The brief and the budget matter. Tastefulness without warmth doesn't make it past the front door.
A small, full-scope
residential studio.
Most of the work is residential, full-scope, and local — Greenville, Wilmington, the Main Line, and the occasional New York or Hudson Valley project. The studio caps at eight to ten projects a year so each one gets the time it needs. The print drops and original commissions run alongside the interior practice — separate work, same hands.
If something here
sounds like your house —
Inquiries open year-round. The studio reviews submissions weekly and replies personally within five business days. Most fall projects book a season ahead, so the earlier the conversation starts, the better.
