ALEXANDRA G. AQUADRO Owner & Principal Designer

Alexandra (or Alex as most call her) discovered her passion for design at an early age, while growing up in an antique home filled with wide plank floor boards 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.”

With experience in textile sales and working for both architecture and interior design firms, Alexandra started AGA Interior Design in 2014.

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. Alexandra is involved from the first preliminary phone call to the final installation, her hands on approach ensures that the final result is perfectly tailored to each client.

“My greatest joy is seeing our happy clients at the completion of a project.”

TESTIMONIALS

Amazing! The first time I walked into our finished home tears filled my eyes. Working with Alex and her team has exceeded my expectations!

Alex has helped our family with the interior design of our home in Lexington since we bought our house in 2012. From helping us furnish completely empty open spaces, to assisting us from beginning to end with a major kitchen renovation, Alex has led us to create classic, timeless spaces in our home that are as beautiful as they are comfortable for our family of five. I am always so impressed with Alex’s selections - whether it is fabrics, paint colors, light fixtures, or counter top materials, one is more beautiful than the next. I have a hard time making decisions and Alex has the nicest way of guiding you to find the perfect fit for your style and needs. We couldn’t be happier with AGA Interior Design and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Alex!

I can’t recommend Alex enough. She’s thoughtful, easy to work with and really takes the time to understand what each client is looking for. She offers up her opinion while never forcing a design idea on you and really wants to make sure that the looks she is creating are an extension of your home - rather than just a showpiece to be decorated.

She always had multiple options to show and was very responsive to questions and our opinions at each stage of the process. My husband and I truly love what Alex was able to do and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Alex again on our next project.

First off, I love Alex’s style; she just has the best taste. Everything she shows me is beautiful! She’s very thoughtful and really takes the time to understand what I am looking for. She is responsive to my many questions, and I never feel that she is forcing a particular design idea on me.

After working on two homes with Alex, my husband now refers to her as “the boss.” Alex and her team deliver the best and we are forever grateful for our beautiful home.

Alex and her team are professional, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. Alex’s impeccable design sense, industry experience, and ability to make confident, well-informed recommendations make the decision-making process easy and enjoyable. I have been extremely happy with every project we’ve completed together and recommend Alex without hesitation. She will quickly become a trusted advisor well worth the investment.
