Alexandra Lamontagne Interiors — Hudson Valley, New York

Every space
holds a story
worth telling.

Where historical provenance meets living now. We design for the bones of a place and the life it holds — restoring what was, imagining what could be.

Philosophy

History is not
the past —
it's the material.

After two decades directing design in NYC fashion, I understand that the most resonant work comes from depth — from understanding where something has been before deciding where it's going.

In the Hudson Valley, I found a landscape that demanded exactly that: old farmhouses with extraordinary bones, antiques waiting to be seen again, rooms that want to be both anchored and alive.

My practice moves between general contracting, interior design, and project management — I've built from the ground up and restored what others passed by. Every project is a story I tell with space.

What I Do

A full range
of making.

I
Interior Design

Space planning, material selection, custom furniture, textile sourcing, antique integration. Design that honors a building's history while meeting how you live now.

II
Project Management

Full owner's representative services. Trade coordination, budget management, contractor oversight. I've built from the ground up — I know how buildings are made.

III
Antique & Textile

Sourcing, restoration, and integration of antiques and vintage textiles. Drawing on a background in fashion and textile design to bring material intelligence to every room.

How We Work

Slow looking.
Deliberate
making.

Every project begins with listening — to the space, its history, and the people who will inhabit it. Design decisions are made one material at a time, never from a catalog.

01

Site & Story Research

Before a single decision is made, we read the space: its construction date, prior uses, architectural details, what the land once held. History is not decoration — it's the brief.

Archive research — Site visits — Owner interviews
02

Concept & Material Direction

A mood board that feels more like a field journal than a Pinterest board. Specific fabrics, salvage finds, paint draws from period records, textures sourced from makers.

Material curation — Antique sourcing — Palette development
03

Design & Documentation

Space plans, elevations, schedules. Coordination with tradespeople who understand that a 150-year-old beam is not a problem to be solved — it's a gift to be kept.

Drawings — Specifications — Trade coordination
04

Build & Installation

On-site ownership through every phase. I manage the contractors, protect the finishes, and know when to hold and when to improvise — because spaces talk back.

About

From the runway
to the ruin.

For fifteen years I ran design at the speed of fashion — seasonal deadlines, global teams, trend-forward product. I was good at it. But I was always most alive in the other projects: the farmhouse we general contracted from bare land, the antique market trips, the rooms I designed for living in rather than looking at.

The Hudson Valley pulled me out of the city and into a practice that moves at the pace of craft. I bring every discipline I know — textile design, graphic sensibility, construction knowledge, fashion's eye for proportion — to spaces that have been here longer than any of us.

I believe in the handmade, the repaired, the found. I believe a room should feel like it has always been exactly this way, even if we built it last year.
