Interior Design
Founded in 2009, Nadia Watts Interior Design creates timeless, collected interiors shaped by architecture, art, and thoughtfully gathered objects. Based in Denver and working throughout the United States and internationally, the studio undertakes significant residences, estates, and historic properties, guiding projects from concept through completion.
Drawing on a lifelong connection to the decorative arts—including her heritage as the great-great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany—Nadia approaches each project with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, color, and the stories objects carry. The result is interiors that feel deeply personal, enduring, and quietly sophisticated.
The firm’s work has been featured in leading design publications including Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, Galerie, House Beautiful, Elle Decor, and Luxe Interiors + Design.
Projects Near and Far
The studio undertakes residential and estate projects throughout the United States and internationally, with each project rooted in its architecture, landscape, and cultural context.
Working alongside architects, builders, artisans, and craftspeople, Nadia and her team bring together antiques, art, custom furnishings, and locally made pieces to create interiors that feel distinctly connected to place.
Product Design
A defining element of Nadia’s work is the integration of art, antiques, and personal collections into the design of a home. Many projects incorporate significant art collections and heirloom objects, carefully placed to enhance both the architecture and the daily experience of the space.
Color and craftsmanship also play a central role in the studio’s work. This sensibility is reflected in Nadia’s collaboration with Kravet on The Gem Collection, a line of textiles inspired by the luminous color and layered artistry associated with Tiffany glass.
By balancing historic pieces with contemporary furnishings, the studio creates interiors that feel layered, distinctive, and enduring.
About Nadia
For more than two decades, Nadia Watts has designed interiors that feel layered, meaningful, and deeply connected to the lives of her clients. After studying at Hollins University and the New York School of Interior Design, she founded her studio in 2009 with a vision of creating homes that blend architecture, art, and personal history.
A lifelong connection to the arts has shaped Nadia’s perspective on design. Her mother was an art educator, and she is the great-great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the pioneering American artist and designer whose work in stained glass and decorative arts helped shape American design history.
Early experiences working with art—including assisting a curator in the American Decorative Arts department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art—deepened her appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and the way objects shape the experience of a space.
Today, Nadia’s interiors reflect that enduring connection to art and design history. Her work brings together pieces from different eras—antiques, contemporary furnishings, art, and personal collections—to create homes that feel thoughtfully assembled rather than simply decorated.
Beyond her design practice, Nadia is deeply engaged in the stewardship and advancement of the decorative arts and design education. She serves as Vice President of the Board of Trustees of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass and on the Board of Trustees of the New York School of Interior Design, bringing her relationship with NYSID full circle from student to trustee.
