Welcome to Theo & Co., a boutique interior design studio serving clients in Alexandria, Virginia and the Washington DC area. Known for our relaxed, yet refined aesthetic, we design spaces that are as warm and inviting as they are sophisticated. We infuse each home with depth and character, incorporating details that reflect your personality and tell your story. It’s the details – collected mementos, meaningful artwork, and family heirlooms – combined with a thoughtful, functional design that creates the essence of home.
Our full-service Alexandria interior design firm focuses on personalized designs that are authentically you.
We strive to capture the essence of home through storied interiors inspired by the lives of our clients and the rich history of the homes and landscape that surround us. Using earthy tones and textures, a mix of vintage pieces, clean lines, and modern silhouettes, we curate a balanced, layered look that is warm and welcoming. Working closely with you, we achieve a custom design for your home that is a reflection of who you are and how you live.

Whether you're refreshing a single room or tackling a full renovation or new build, we bring clarity, creativity, and a streamlined approach to every project. Explore our services to see how we can transform your vision into a beautifully designed, move-in-ready space.
"My husband and I have used Theo & Co. Design for several rooms in our house over the last few years. In all instances, Diane was able to quickly understand the aesthetic we were hoping to achieve and presented us with several choices for how to redesign our rooms. We appreciated how stress-free she made the whole process, from presenting us with visuals, providing us with plenty of price points and purchasing options, and completing the look with finishing touches — we couldn’t have been happier with our final rooms. We are already looking forward to working with Theo & Co. again in the future!"
Alexandria is a city where history and everyday ease come together effortlessly. Along the waterfront in Old Town, cobblestone streets and brick-lined sidewalks create a sense of charm that feels both storied and inviting. From classic rowhomes to beautifully preserved historic residences, the architecture offers a rich backdrop for interiors that feel collected, layered, and thoughtfully designed. With boutiques, cafés, and restaurants all within walking distance, Alexandria offers a lifestyle that is both vibrant and relaxed.
I love starting the day with a walk or bike ride along the Mount Vernon Trail, taking in views of the Potomac before heading into Old Town to browse local boutiques or visit the Torpedo Factory Art Center, where working artists bring creativity to life in real time. Saturdays often include a stop at the farmers market, followed by a leisurely lunch at Southside 815 or Virtue Feed & Grain. For a more relaxed afternoon, Port City Brewing Company or Lost Boy Cider are favorite spots, while spring and summer evenings are best spent dining along the water at Hummingbird or Ada's on the River.
It is this blend of rich history, walkability, waterfront beauty, and a lively yet easygoing pace that makes Alexandria such a special place to call home—and a natural source of inspiration for interiors that feel warm, personal, and effortlessly sophisticated.
