About

Where cosmopolitan meets coastal.

Coe Design was founded by Alexandra Coe Girard with a clear point of view: that the best interiors draw from everywhere you have been and everything you love. Our work lives at the intersection of city polish and shoreline ease, blending the sophistication of the tri-state corridor with the relaxed beauty of the coast.

Based in Fair Haven, New Jersey, we are rooted in a community where tree-lined streets meet the water and weekends move at a gentler pace. That duality shapes everything we do. We bring a cosmopolitan eye to coastal living, layering refined materials, collected antiques, and modern silhouettes into homes that feel both elevated and effortless.

Great design is never about following a single trend. It is about understanding how you live, what inspires you, and creating rooms that hold all of it gracefully. Every detail is chosen with care, resulting in spaces that are as timeless as they are personal.

Alexandra Coe Girard

Alexandra brings a cosmopolitan sensibility shaped by years spent between the city and the shore. She founded Coe Design to create interiors that feel both worldly and warmly personal, spaces where a vintage Parisian find sits naturally beside a linen sofa made for bare feet.

Her design philosophy is rooted in the idea that a home should reflect every side of the people who live in it. She layers textures, mixes eras, and curates with an instinct for what feels right. Every project begins with listening, and every room tells a story worth coming home to.

When she is not sourcing the perfect vintage piece or reviewing fabric swatches, Alexandra can be found at home in beautiful Fair Haven, New Jersey, where she lives with her husband and their two children — a household that is equal parts laughter, creativity, and coastal air.

Timeless Over Trendy

We design with longevity in mind. Classic proportions, quality materials, and a cosmopolitan eye ensure that every space feels as relevant in a decade as it does the day we finish.

Coastal Ease, City Edge

Our interiors balance the relaxed warmth of coastal living with the refined energy of the tri-state. The result is a look that is polished but never precious, elegant but always inviting.

Collected, Not Decorated

No two homes should look alike. We layer pieces with provenance, mix high and low, and curate rooms that feel gathered over a lifetime of travel, taste, and intention.
