M.S. VICAS INTERIORS

Timeless, elegant and eminently livable interiors that enhance the way a client experiences their home.

From substantial renovations to new construction, we approach all projects with a fresh eye, working closely with each client to refine the vision to suit their visual and physical comfort.

Whether a bold, colorful space or a more serene, monochromatic interior, we create welcoming designs that excite, while respecting scale and architecture. Eschewing any one particular aesthetic, our projects range from transitional to contemporary and vary in scope.

Martha and her team work tirelessly to craft timeless, perfectly curated interiors.

We are proud to have been an important part of the Washington DC design community for the last 11 years and celebrate the wonderful craftsmen and tradespeople who partner with us to create unique, beautiful spaces.

Martha Vicas / Allied ASID

FOUNDER + PRINCIPAL

Martha Vicas, Allied ASID, is a graduate of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. After 12 years in international banking and three children at home, Martha took a hiatus to spend more time with her family. When she needed a major renovation at her own house, Martha found the process frustrating and decided to do her own design work. She realized that this was her passion and attended the New York School of Interior Design to hone her craft.

Adept at mixing antiques with more contemporary furnishings, Martha brings an international flair to all of her projects. Products are sourced from a wide variety of suppliers, both domestically and abroad. She works very closely with clients to implement and help them develop their vision. Whether a client has deep knowledge and experience in construction and design, or is embarking on their first experience, Martha is uniquely able to break down the process and propose creative, innovative details that create beautiful moments in every space.
