Luxury Interior Designer in Wayne, PA
NGD Interiors brings warm, timeless design to Wayne and the Main Line — with a particular devotion to luxury kitchens and baths.
Interiors made for Wayne
Wayne pairs a vibrant, walkable town center with some of the Main Line’s most sought-after residential streets — a place where historic homes are lovingly updated for modern family living.
In Wayne we design living rooms and kitchens that flow: warm neutral palettes, natural materials, and tailored upholstery that make a home feel gathered, calm, and ready for company.
The architecture behind Wayne
Wayne began as the 700-acre “Wayne Estate,” laid out after 1880 by developer George W. Childs Drexel along Tudor-revival planning principles imported from England, with deliberately curved streets breaking from the Philadelphia grid. North Wayne, listed on the National Register in 1985, still contains 190 contributing buildings built between 1881 and 1925 — wide streets, stone curbs, and houses set back a uniform fifty feet to create an open, park-like setting. The earliest group, roughly 100 Shingle Style, Queen Anne, and Stick Style houses built 1881–1895, were largely designed by Frank and William Price and built by Wendell & Smith; a second wave from 1895–1925 leans Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Craftsman.
Individual houses carry real pedigree: “Bon Air” on Chestnut Lane, one of only four “Tower House” style homes in the region, sits on North Wayne’s highest ground with hand-carved wooden griffins framing its living room; 314 Louella Avenue was Horace Trumbauer’s first commission for Wendell & Smith; and “Car-Alan” on Pembroke Avenue, a 1898 Jacobethan Revival mansion by William Lightfoot Price, was built for the Jacob Reed clothier family. Downtown, the Wayne Hotel (1906) and the Anthony Wayne Theater (1928) still anchor a genuinely walkable six blocks of restaurants and shops — the kind of Main Line town where residents can walk to dinner, which shapes how we think about designing homes meant for daily life as much as for entertaining.
It’s the kind of Main Line town where residents can walk to dinner from blocks away on a Saturday night, which shapes how we think about designing homes meant for daily life as much as for entertaining. Many of our Wayne projects sit inside these Shingle Style or Colonial Revival originals — stone foundations, wood shingle upper stories, deep porches — where a kitchen renovation has to negotiate genuinely old framing and plaster while still opening the room up for the way families actually gather now. Warm neutral palettes and tailored, durable upholstery hold up to that walk-to-dinner, always-have-company rhythm without ever feeling fussy.

“We had hired Nina for color consultation for our Kitchen. She was prompt and beyond thorough and helped us choose an absolutely great color that we actually used in other areas of the house. Her fee was definitely worth it, since the color we ended up with would have been passed right over if we were doing it ourselves. We would work with her again.”
Wayne interior design FAQ
Do you design interiors in North Wayne or Downtown Wayne?
Yes, both. North Wayne’s Shingle Style, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival homes — many built by Wendell & Smith from designs by Frank and William Price — and the homes surrounding Downtown Wayne’s walkable business district are both regular areas of our work.
What is the design style of a typical Wayne home renovation?
We favor warm neutral palettes, natural materials, and tailored upholstery in Wayne — kitchens and living rooms designed to flow for everyday family life as much as for the entertaining the town’s walkable downtown encourages.
Do you work on historic Shingle Style or Tudor homes in Wayne?
We do. Wayne’s housing stock includes many architecturally significant Shingle Style, Tudor Revival, and Colonial Revival homes from the original Wayne Estate development, and we design renovations that respect their original massing and materials.
