ABOUT NJA INTERIORS
Designed with soul. Executed with intention.
NJA Interiors is a Connecticut-based, full-service interior design studio founded by Naïka Andre.
We create layered, globally inspired interiors that balance beauty, function, and a sense of ease.
​
With over 15 years of experience in luxury residential design, our work is rooted in storytelling — honoring where our
clients have been, how they live now, and where they’re going next.
​
Do it scared.
OUR PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH
We believe great design begins with listening.
Most of our clients come to us knowing exactly how they want to feel in their home. They just need someone who can translate that feeling into a space that actually lives up to it. At NJA Interiors, we serve as both designer and advocate, guiding every decision, managing every detail, and making sure your vision never gets lost in the process.
​
Why it Matters
Your home is not just a backdrop for daily life. It shapes how you feel when you wake up, how your family gathers, how your guests experience you. We believe that creating a home that reflects who you truly are is one of the most intentional things you can do for yourself and the people you love. That belief drives every project we take on.
​
Our work honors our clients' stories, heritage, and way of living, resulting in spaces that feel personal, grounding, and completely their own.
OUR AESTHETIC​​
Our aesthetic is best described as curated eclectic
​
We mix styles, eras, and influences with intention. A vintage brass lamp beside a clean-lined modern sofa. A globally sourced textile layered over a classic silhouette. Color used with confidence, not caution. The result is never themed or trend-chasing. It feels collected over time, like a home that has been lived in, traveled through, and deeply considered. Because for our clients, it has been.

Naïka
meet
Naïka (Na-ee-ka) Joviane Andre is the founder and principal designer of NJA Interiors.
Born in Montréal and shaped by a Haitian heritage, a global upbringing, and a formative design internship in India, Naïka brings a distinctly worldly lens to every project she touches. She designs for families who have seen things, who have traveled, collected, and lived fully, and want a home that reflects that richness.
​
Before founding NJA Interiors, she honed her craft at respected luxury residential firms across New York and Connecticut, managing projects from first concept through final installation. Today, with over 15 years of experience, her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Domino, Good Housekeeping, Business of Home, and HGTV, and recognized with the Luxe RED Readers' Choice Award and Ring's End We Design CT Class of 2026.
​
At the heart of her practice is a simple belief: your home should tell your story, not someone else's.
Naïka is a lover of sustainable fashion, a curator of antiques, and an avid world traveler. She has a weakness for amazing vintage finds, bonus points if it's brass or gold barware.
