Luxury Interior Designer in Haverford, PA
NGD Interiors brings warm, timeless design to Haverford and the Main Line — with a particular devotion to luxury kitchens and baths.
Interiors made for Haverford
Haverford is the Main Line at its most understated — broad lawns, established gardens, and architecturally significant homes owned by families who value craftsmanship over trend.
Our Haverford work leans timeless: travertine and honey onyx, custom inset cabinetry, and lighting plans that flatter both everyday family life and the kind of effortless entertaining the area is known for.
The architecture behind Haverford
Haverford’s housing stock spans a genuinely wide arc — early stone farmhouses and estate-era residences, 1920s–1940s Colonial Revival and Tudor homes, and postwar Cape Cods and split-levels that filled in later growth near Haverford College and the Merion Cricket Club. Some of its estates carry real architectural weight: the Dolobran Estate, a Victorian Gothic Revival house built for Clement Griscom, president of the American Steamship Company and the Red Star Line (whose family connections extend to the Titanic), and a 1918 all-stone English Cotswold residence on Rose Lane designed by architect Walter Durham are both still standing.
Frank Furness, the architect behind the Merion Cricket Club, also designed Dolobran on land adjacent to Cheswold, the estate of Alexander Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad and brother of painter Mary Cassatt — a reminder that Haverford’s quiet lawns were once home to some of Philadelphia’s most prominent industrial families. A 1925 Georgian Revival estate designed by Horace Trumbauer, originally built for the Widener family, is another example of the caliber of architecture still tucked behind Haverford’s hedgerows. It is a town that prefers its craftsmanship visible only up close — which is precisely the standard we design to.
It is a town that prefers its craftsmanship visible only up close — which is precisely the standard we design to. Whether a project sits inside a Cotswold-style stone cottage or a postwar Cape Cod filled in decades later, the brief is the same: travertine and honey onyx that feel quarried for the room rather than ordered from a catalog, custom inset cabinetry built to the house’s original proportions, and lighting plans considered enough to flatter both a quiet Tuesday dinner and a full house of guests, since Haverford families tend to do plenty of both.

“My wife and I hired Nina to lead the re-design of our Master BR and Bath, as well as provide all the necessary drawings, and furnishing recommendations. We are convinced that we made the best decision to get our project underway. Nina is exceptionally talented - and brings tremendous creativity and passion to our project. She is an active, astute, listener, who can “read between the lines” to get a true measure of what’s being asked. The result: a quality of work that is unmatched. Nina takes great pride in her work. It shows in the intricate attention to detail, and her recommendations/suggestions. On top of all this, she is just the most pleasant person to work with. We could not have been happier with our decision to retain her, and plan on having her assist us with the next phase, as well as other projects. We highly recommend her.”
