Interiors designed to feel lived in, layered, and timeless
Ashley Sussman is a Charlotte-based interior designer known for creating casually classic spaces that balance polish and comfort. With more than a decade of experience in residential design, she blends timeless details with a relaxed sensibility to create homes that feel both refined and deeply livable.
Grounded in tradition but inspired by everyday living, Ashley’s work celebrates the beauty of layers - the mix of old and new, tailored and collected. Her spaces are designed to evolve with the families who live in them, capturing a feeling that’s effortlessly personal and quietly luxurious.
ABOUT
When she’s not designing, Ashley is usually chasing her children, cuddling her dogs, or quietly rearranging a room in her own home just to see how it feels. She and her husband love creating spaces that bring people together, whether for a cozy family night or a home project that gets a little out of hand.
For Ashley, design is about more than aesthetics. It’s about creating homes that elevate everyday moments - spaces that feel refined yet relaxed, intentional yet lived in. That balance defines both her work and her belief that beautiful design should feel effortless, personal, and meant for real life.

At Ashley Sussman Interiors, we believe every home should tell a story - layered with meaning, warmth, and a sense of ease. Our work is rooted in thoughtful planning, collaboration, and an appreciation for spaces that feel both refined and deeply livable.
Each project is approached with care, balancing timeless design with the realities of everyday life. From early concepts to final styling, the process is intentionally paced, personal, and guided by trust.
THE STUDIO
Projects typically begin with a collaborative planning phase, where we take time to understand how you live, what matters most, and how your home needs to function. From there, we guide each detail - space planning, selections, and design development - with clarity and intention.
Whether refining an existing home or guiding a project from the ground up, our role is to manage the design as a whole. This includes thoughtful layouts, material and finish selections, furnishings, lighting, and final styling, all coordinated through the studio for a seamless experience.
THE EXPERIENCE
FROM THE GROUND UP
For larger-scale projects, we work closely with builders, architects, and trades to ensure the design vision is carried through every phase. From reviewing plans and elevations to developing interior architectural details, we help shape homes that feel cohesive, intentional, and timeless from the start.
Our involvement ensures that decisions are made thoughtfully early on, creating a smoother build process and a more refined finished home.
Hiring a designer is an investment in both your home and your peace of mind. From thoughtful space planning to final styling, each detail is managed with care to create a space that feels intentional, functional, and beautifully finished.
Furnishings and materials are purchased through the studio, offering access to trusted trade vendors, higher-quality pieces, and a seamless experience from order through installation. Every project is unique, but the goal is always the same: a home that feels elevated, timeless, and deeply considered.
INVEST
Our work is best suited for clients who value thoughtful design, trust the creative process, and appreciate a collaborative approach. We believe the most successful projects are built on clear communication, shared vision, and respect for the details.
We work best with clients who are excited to be involved while allowing space for expertise and guidance. Those who understand that truly layered, timeless homes are created through intention, patience, and partnership often find the process both rewarding and enjoyable.

It is an absolute pleasure to work with Ashley! She really understands our aesthetic, but isn't afraid to suggest ideas outside the box. She is so thoughtful in her approach and a true collaborator with her clients, including my kids! She is also extremely communicative throughout the process, staying on top of every moving part and detail, a priceless quality. Our new house is truly a home thanks to her brilliance! I could not recommend her more highly enough!

We can't speak highly enough about Ashley. In addition to having an incredible natural talent for design, she is also an absolute pleasure to work with! We really felt like she truly considered our family during the planning process. She was responsive, organized, and thorough throughout. I recommend her to everyone I know- she is the best!

I’m completely obsessed with our dining room and home office redo. The light palette is gorgeous, fresh, calm, and perfectly aligned with our style and vibe. Ashley was wonderful to work with again and I would use her for any home projects going forward.
