LIVABLE LUXURY

Ash Street Interiors was founded in 2015 by Rosemary Wormley with a vision of uniting sophisticated design and the needs of modern family life. Known for her signature philosophy of “livable luxury,” Wormley creates refined yet welcoming interiors that balance rich textures, bespoke details, and luxurious materials with calming palettes and timeless appeal. A believer in decorating with what you love, she layers personal elements into each project to tell a client’s story and create a meaningful backdrop for daily life. Inspired by heritage and craftsmanship, her work reflects an appreciation for character and longevity while embracing the way families live today.

How do you tailor your approach for clients who expect both beauty and performance?
This is our area of expertise, and innovations in materials and textiles have made it easier than ever to execute. We also set clear expectations with our clients. Are they willing to embrace patina for the beauty of marble? Are they looking for low maintenance or no maintenance? Do they want a home that always feels perfectly styled, or one that can gracefully evolve over time?

What recent project best represents your style or philosophy?
We completed a whole house renovation of a historic Tudor home in Winnetka that had just been saved from demolition when our clients bought it. The project was equal parts preservation, restoration, and thoughtful modernization.

How are sustainability, wellness, or longevity showing up in your work today?
We’re seeing a focus on spaces that support both physical and mental well-being. Clients are asking for wellness studios instead of traditional gyms—rooms designed not just for exercise, but for meditation, recovery, and relaxation.
