Your home already holds meaning. In its architecture, in the way light moves through the space, in the details that shape — and are shaped by — your everyday routines and special occasions
That’s why Walsh Bourke Interiors approaches design as a process of preservation and thoughtful evolution. We work with homeowners in the Washington, DC area who see their home’s history as intertwined with their family’s own ever-unfolding story.
The result is a home bursting with freshness and modern-day ease yet still distinctly, warmly familiar.
A home that remembers where you’ve been & supports where you’re going.

Meet Mary Brighid Bourke
Working with Mary Brighid at Walsh Bourke Interiors was such a delight. We bought our first home and we knew we wanted to do a mini renovation before we moved in. We had some design ideas, but really needed an expert to help pull it all together and that is exactly what Mary Brighid did!
Mary demonstrates exceptional skill and attention to detail. Her ability to seamlessly combine modern aesthetics with functionality, creates spaces that feel both elegant and inviting. The overall appeal of her design, allowed us to get a fantastic offer on this million dollar home.
It was so easy and natural working with you, and we felt how intentional you were with each choice to find the right items for our family and space. We look forward to working with you again!!
