At Samantha Ashley Designs, we believe exceptional homes are never accidental. They are intentionally built, thoughtfully layered, and deeply personal.
Headquartered in Pennsylvania and serving Philadelphia's Main Line, New Jersey, and clients nationwide, we are a full-service interior design studio specializing in major renovations, new construction, and whole-home projects for discerning homeowners. Through our studs to sofas approach, we guide every phase of the design process, from early architectural planning through final furnishings.
Our studio is known for delivering cohesive, enduring homes that balance refined aesthetics with how people actually live. By integrating construction detailing, custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, and curated furnishings under one creative vision, we eliminate the fragmented handoffs that compromise so many residential projects.
We partner with homeowners, builders, and architects who want a studio that can hold both the creative vision and the technical execution with equal precision.
To create elevated, deeply livable homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. We believe a well-designed home is not just something you live in. It is something that supports how you live, reflects who you are, and grows more meaningful over time.
Samantha Pratt is the Founder and Principal Designer of Samantha Ashley Designs. Growing up around her family's architectural millwork business, she developed an early fluency in construction, cabinetry, and the technical side of building. That foundation continues to distinguish her work today.
This rare blend of construction insight and refined aesthetics allows Samantha to bridge the gap between what is beautiful and what is buildable. Where most designers work around structural decisions, she shapes them, working alongside architects and builders from the earliest phases to ensure every spatial and material choice connects to a larger vision.
Known for her deeply collaborative approach, Samantha works closely with each family to understand not just how they want their home to look, but how they truly want to live in it. Her work is defined by thoughtful layering, meticulous detailing, and a commitment to interiors that feel both enduring and deeply personal.
We are a full-service interior design studio leading major renovations and new construction projects from the earliest architectural phases through final installation. From spatial planning and custom millwork to curated furnishings, we hold the full scope under one creative vision.
A studio of three, founder-led and deeply hands-on. Every client works directly with Samantha, supported by a small, experienced team that brings precision and care to every phase. No hand-offs. No diluted attention.
Because exceptional homes do not happen by accident. They are the result of early, intentional decisions made by people who understand both the build and the beauty. That intersection is where we work.
Quinn holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and brings precision, technical expertise, and a strong eye for detail to every project. She plays an integral role in translating the studio's design vision into clear, actionable plans, from early drawings through final development.
Anna brings over a decade of experience in interior remodeling and architectural design to the studio. With a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Pittsburgh, she pairs strong technical fluency with a thoughtful, collaborative approach that helps bring each client's vision to life with clarity and intention.
01
A whole-home project holds thousands of decisions: layouts, finishes, fixtures, lighting, hardware. We take them on and hand you curated, coordinated choices instead of infinite options. You make the ones that matter; we handle the five hundred that support them.
The costliest mistakes happen when construction and furnishing are decided separately. We plan architecture, finishes, and furnishings together from day one, so the room works because it was designed as one thing, not assembled from parts.
02
03
We work with trade-only vendors, workrooms, and artisans whose quality isn't sold at retail. Your pricing includes what retail never does: receiving, inspection, coordinated delivery, and professional installation. No boxes on your porch.
04
A professionally designed room is an investment; ours typically start at $30,000. We tell you what things truly cost up front, spend where it shows, and prevent the expensive do-overs: the wrong-size rug, the sofa that won't fit the door.
05
One team is accountable for the result: design, ordering, tracking, trades coordination, punch list, and the final reveal. Our process is structured and transparent, so the project keeps moving while you keep living your life.
06
Not for every project, and we'll tell you up front. Full-service design fits when you're renovating, building, or furnishing whole rooms and want a finished, cohesive result without managing it yourself.
There's a difference between filling a room and finishing one. The costly mistakes in a renovation happen in the gaps between the trades, and a full-service interior designer owns those gaps. Here's what that means.
