It is that each client is an individual and a client’s house should reflect their personality. There is a big difference between designing a home for a family with 4 children and designing a home for a single man. With over 20 years of experience, David Mitchell has the talent and know how to do both. He feels that designing should be fun, interesting, educational and a true collaboration between himself and his clients. Because of his unique perspective, David has been published in many shelter publications, such as House Beautiful, Veranda, Home & Design, Luxe, Southern Living, Metropolitan Home, Traditional Home, and Southern Accents. He was chosen by Southern Accents magazine to design the entire Old Dominion Showhouse/2005, in McLean, Virginia, as well as being chosen one of House Beautiful magazines top 100 Interior Designers. ### Services Provided - Interior Design and Decoration Art and Accessories Consultation Custom Furniture Design ### Areas Served - Washington - DC Virginia Maryland Mid Atlantic Region Florida New York The Hamptons Nantucket Martha's Vineyard Various projects throughout the US ### Typical Job Cost $100,000 - $700,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | David Mitchell Interior Design | | Address | 1734 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 2nd Floor, Washington, D.C. 20009, United States | | Phone | (202) 797-0780 | | Website | http://davidmitchellinteriordesign.com | | Followers on Houzz | 42 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [David Mitchell Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/david-mitchell-interior-design-pfvwus-pf~127462668) - **Website:** http://davidmitchellinteriordesign.com - **Phone:** (202) 797-0780 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Washington DC Design Hall of Fame - 2010 Designers' Choice Award/Home & Design Magazine - Traditional Home Design Award - House Beautiful Top 100 Designers List - Designer of the 2005 Southern Accents Old Dominion Showhouse - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2016), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Avanti Woodworks LLC, Oct. 2015** > I have been working with David Mitchell building custom furniture for over 10 years now. His knowledge of the history of furniture, wood and construction, along with his eye and creativity, have challenged me to produce some of the most outstanding pieces of my woodworking career. He always provides me with beautiful drawings and when a piece gets delivered to a clients house, they are always thrilled with the outcome. I’m always impressed with the interiors he creates for his clients, and over the past 10 years I have seen quite a few of them. If I could afford to hire David to design my own house, I definitely would. **★★★★★ — pfdesign63, Aug. 2015** > We hired David Mitchell to design our new townhouse, and he did a wonderful job. Not only did he take into account through the meetings and conversations we had about our life style, our taste and our aesthetic, but he came up with creative ways to use some of the special pieces and art we have accumulated on our travels. He brought color and new ideas to us that we never would have thought of. David and his design assistant Elizabeth were a pleasure to work with. Always easy to reach, they kept us informed on the progress and on schedule with the finished product, our home. Our home is beautiful because of David's impeccable eye for design, fabrics, and accessories, yet it is still comfortable and truly reflects us. And it was within our budget! We highly recommend David Mitchell. **★★★★★ — dhuning, Nov. 2014** > David designed two spaces in our Kalorama condo some twenty years ago. We loved it then, and continue to love, the pieces of furniture and lighting he chose. David is a thoughtful designer who creates rooms that are beautiful, comfortable, and soft. He blends traditional with modern pieces that get rave reviews. I have admired his work at Showcase Homes, in magazines, and in person. David always provided at least two options while keeping our budget in mind. Also, David has a lovely sense of humor which is always appreciated. ## Selected projects - [Residence Chevy Chase, Maryland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residence-chevy-chase-maryland-pj-vj~1259188) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: At the Somerset House we had the privilege of turning a traditional condo into a space full of modern lux. The whole apartment was gutted and rebuilt from scratch. The entrance hall now has an inlaid floor of limestone and two different colors of marble forming a classical eight point interlocking star. We custom designed the wooden light fixture and found a metal table in Atlanta that works perfectly in the space.

In the living room we mixed a multitude of patterns and textures in golds, greens and blues and a variety of wood finishes from light to dark. We found interesting furniture that ranged from architectural to sculptural. The dining room is dominated by a large modern painting with a terra cotta carpet and patterned chairs. The dining room has a modern mix that is so important now a days.

A: Amanda They are English Chippendale Chairs that came from a antique store in NYC that is no longer in business. You could do a online search for Chippendale wing chairs and maybe find a reproduction Thanks for the question David Mitchell **Q: Paint** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the paint color? A: This was done a few years ago and I know longer have that information. That said when you see a pic of and interior online its probably not a true representation of the wall color. At photo shoots there is a lot of lighting done by the photographer that you don't see. My suggestion is you print out the pic or even better if you have an iPad take the image your seeing and take it to a good paint store have them help you match whats in the pic. Make sure you get at lease 3 colors to try at your house. Light in the paint store is different than light in your home. And always paint the samples directly on the wall and if you can paint a prime coat of white before. When painting such a light and atmospheric color I always have the space primed white first that way you get the true color and exsisting colors can bleed through and affect lighter color paint. Hope that helps David **Q: Please, where was the beautiful canopy bed purchased? J** *(in Photo Questions)* A: J, unfortunately the bed is a vintage piece, and I've never seen one like it again. Sorry I can't recommend a place for you to go to purchase one. Thanks for asking. **Q: Do you have a source for the bolster pillow?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Tedi, the pillow is from a group that we purchased from a dealer from India. We happen to have one in our office, if you are interested in purchasing it. Let me know. Thanks. **Q: this room is fabulous. I love the rug. where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: msewall30, it is a custom Elizabeth Aikens rug. **Q: Bedroom** *(in Photo Questions)* I'd like to know the color that was used to paint the wall please. Thank you! A: Janine, you might not be able to tell by the photo but the walls in this bedroom are painted with a glaze that is made up of three different colors. The artist who painted the room custom colored the paint. But, if you are looking for a terracotta color try out Ben Moore's 'Adobe Dust' (2175-40). Let me know how it goes! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
