“Luxury is timeless, never dictated by trends. We honor the enduring grace of classical design while embracing transitional and modern elements to create homes of lasting beauty, comfort, and character.” – Haleh Aleman

Haleh Design (HDI), led by founder Haleh Aleman, is a bespoke luxury interior design firm serving clients in Potomac, Maryland; Washington, DC; Virginia; and Palm Beach, Florida, as well as an international clientele. Specializing in exceptional estates of 20,000 square feet and larger, HDI creates homes that pair classical architecture with thoughtfully designed transitional and modern interiors. Each residence balances elegance, glamour, comfort, and a gracious sense of welcome.

Haleh guides each project with a cohesive vision, from architectural conception through the most refined finishing details. For turnkey projects, she assembles a carefully selected team of architects, engineers, builders, designers, craftsmen, and project managers. Supported by a curated network of master artisans and industry specialists, the team carries each residence from planning through execution.

A member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and a Silver member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Haleh brings a holistic perspective to luxury living. Her work honors the enduring influence of European design while incorporating thoughtful, environmentally responsible choices. The result is a home that is beautiful, functional, and comfortable.

Haleh’s eye for the timeless and extraordinary was shaped early. Her father, a pioneering textile executive, helped establish Iran’s reputation for exquisite silks and upholstery fabrics. A classical education in France, extensive global travel, and formal design study further inform the richly layered aesthetic she brings to her work.

From timeless Classical to forward-thinking Contemporary luxury interior design, Haleh crafts every facet of bespoke estate design to build restorative environments shaped by luxury, balance, comfort, and functionality. Known for her warmth, intuition, and love of people, she approaches each project as a personal collaboration—listening closely to how her clients live and how they want their homes to feel.

Haleh has collaborated with Feng Shui master and dowsing expert Marie Diamond, featured in The Secret, as well as with clients’ personal energy consultants. By considering each client’s priorities and the principles that support a sense of harmony at home, she creates deeply personal residences that reflect the spirit and lifestyle of the people who live in them.
