Alexandra G. Aquadro AGA Interior Design
1 What is your design philosophy? I design with a Billy Baldwin quote in mind: “Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you ever truly love is out of style.” Rather than focusing on the latest trends, I aim to curate timeless spaces that reflect each homeowner. Our goal is for our projects to feel current for months, years, and decades after our work is completed. What do you collect? I have quite a few collections, and I like to think that it comes with the territory, as an interior designer. Throughout my home and office you will find everything from beach finds, like stones, seashells, and seaglass, to art, decorative plates, and books. And I cannot forget my favorite fashion items, shoes and handbags!

GA Interior Design is a fullservice residential interior design firm located in the heart of historic Charlestown, Massachusetts. AGA Interior Design works closely with clients to create timeless and understated interiors to be enjoyed for years to come. Alexandra Aquadro (or Alex as most call her) is the owner and principal interior designer of AGA Interior Design. Alexandra discovered her passion for design at an early age, while growing up in an antique home filled with wide-plank floorboards and a beehive oven. “I would frequently find paint and fabric samples as my parents worked room by room to renovate our historic home. The biggest thrill was when I selected my bedroom wallpaper in the fourth grade; the cheerful yellow and floral pattern still lines the walls today.” Alexandra’s signature style showcases a curated mix of warm color palettes, comfortable furnishings, and layered textures. Each project is sophisticated and timeless while remaining functional and welcoming.

What is your favortive space in your home? Our primary bedroom. My husband calls it our “Cape Cod Bedroom” because it is a calm, coastal aesthetic. The walls are painted Farrow & Ball Light Blue, with a cream linen winged headboard, custom nightstands that I designed with a local furniture maker. My favorite Colefax & Fowler embroidery serves as the perfect decorative touch on the draperies and bed lumbar. What motivates you? Collaborating with clients who value our work and trust us to create their dream home. My greatest joy is seeing our happy clients at the end of a project.
