Professional Background

Xela Andrews is the owner and lead interior designer of Xela Andrews Interiors, a full-service residential interior design firm serving Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities, as well as the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Xela has more than 15 years of experience in residential interior design and has led her own design firm since 2017. After building her business in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, she relocated to the Nashville area in 2021 and now works with homeowners in both Tennessee and Texas.

Her work ranges from ground-up new construction and large-scale renovations to whole-home furnishings and thoughtfully layered room transformations. Xela is especially experienced in helping clients navigate the many decisions involved in building and renovating a home—from space planning, cabinetry and architectural details to lighting, plumbing, hard finishes, furnishings and the final layers that make a home feel personal.

Design Philosophy

Xela believes a beautiful home should never come at the expense of how it functions or how it feels to live there. Her approach combines classic, timeless design with warmth, personality and practicality. Rather than designing around fleeting trends, she focuses on creating homes that feel collected, personal and appropriate for the people who live in them.

She also believes one of a designer's most important roles is helping homeowners understand where their investment will have the greatest impact—balancing beauty, function and budget while guiding clients through what can otherwise be an overwhelming number of decisions.
