Transformed Homes, Meaningful Connections

Serving Northern Virginia with Personalized Interior Designs for  Your Lifestyle

Designing Homes That Tell Your Story 

Welcome to Joy Edwards Design—where meaningful connections transform into thoughtful designs that match your lifestyle. With a lifelong passion for creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, Joy Edwards has built her design philosophy around one central belief: understanding a client’s needs is the foundation of every successful project. Her approach combines a dedication to listening with a clear vision for crafting spaces that reflect not just how you live, but who you are.

Since founding Joy Edwards Design in 2015, I have been committed to helping homeowners in Northern Virginia transform their spaces into homes that inspire, comfort, and function seamlessly for their families. My work is rooted in a respect for timeless design principles paired with a modern sensibility. Whether I'm guiding you through a kitchen renovation, redesigning a bath, or curating furnishings to bring harmony to your home, I ensure that every detail is carefully tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.

With a degree in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a certification in Interior Design from the New York Institute of Art and Design, I blend an analytical mindset with creative vision. This balance allows me to focus on the details that bring a design to life—color, proportion, texture, and function—while keeping the bigger picture in mind. Clients often remark on my ability to listen intently and translate their ideas into cohesive, personalized designs that feel both effortless and intentional.

Home and family are the cornerstones of my life, and this influence shines through in my work. As a former homeschool educator, I understand the importance of creating spaces that support not just aesthetics but the rhythms of daily living. My designs strike a balance between practicality and beauty, ensuring your home becomes a sanctuary that reflects your values and supports your needs.

At Joy Edwards Design, the process begins with a collaborative approach. Every project starts with a complimentary discovery call, allowing me to understand your vision and provide clarity on how to bring it to life. Whether you're embarking on a full-service renovation or seeking guidance on furnishings and finishes, you'll find the process to be clear, supportive, and tailored to your goals.

Clients repeatedly note that working with me feels seamless and rewarding. From the first consultation to the final reveal, my transparency, integrity, and attention to detail build trust and deliver spaces that exceed expectations. My ultimate goal is to enhance your daily life through design, crafting spaces that serve as the backdrop to your family's story while reflecting your unique personality.

When I'm not designing, I cherish time with my family. With three kids in college, our reunions are filled with excitement as we cheer for DC United, the Washington Nationals, and the Washington Capitals. We love cooking, playing golf and pickleball, and going on hikes. Long talks at the kitchen table, movie nights, board games, and puzzles are priceless moments. My family often jokes about my cooking and suggests I could open a restaurant, but I'm happy sharing my creations at home.

I enjoy connecting with friends and giving back through volunteer work at my church. After ten years in Sunday School and Youth Ministry, my commitment to community is strong. A lifelong soccer enthusiast, I played through high school and coached for six years, earning my D License.

Above all, I have a deep love for learning and understanding the world and the people around me. Let me help you create a home that's more than just a place to live—together, we can turn your vision into reality.
