Anna Bouchelle

Interior designer.

We believe that home should be a place you want to escape to, not from.

It is our goal to help you create that feeling through design that brings beauty and ease to your everyday life. We are drawn to the stories behind the things you love—the furniture passed down, the colors you’ve always gravitated toward, and the little details that make a space yours.

As a wife, mother, and designer with a background in social work, Anna cares as much about how your home supports you as how it looks, by taking the time to understand your family, your routines, and what you need to feel comfortable in your space. Whether we’re reimagining a room or finding a fresh way to use what you already have, our hope is to help you build a home that welcomes you, grows with you, and holds the memories still to come.

What I believe

Good design reminds you what you like. Great design reminds you who you are.

About

Hello, I’m Anna.

Anna Bouchelle, interior designer, at a glass door in a sunlit room.

In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, my husband and I received a special needs diagnosis for our son, then two years old. Home became a place of stress and chaos almost overnight, and I realized I didn’t have a single space where I could set the worry down.

I had years of art and design experience and an education in social work, so I started building rooms that answered both at once — how a space looks, and how it makes you feel. It worked. Not perfectly, and not all at once. But it worked.

Six years on, that’s still the whole of what I do: rooms that hold up to real life, built from classic bones and modern pieces, shaped around the people actually living in them.

Today I work three ways. Design Camp, for the afternoon where it clicks. Virtual Design, for a room you want planned from anywhere. And In-Person Design here in West Texas, from a single room to the whole house. Whichever fits, I’m still there for the moment you’re standing in the paint aisle wondering whether the greige is too cold.

We live in Abilene with our two children and two cocker spaniels, Dixie and Fitz.

What clients say

In their words.

Anna and her team are not only a delight to work with, she is responsive, proactive, and trustworthy. We used her to design a master bathroom reno — and as someone who gets overwhelmed by all the details and options involved in remodels, Anna helped made the process super easy and accessible for us.
