Furniture Fills a House 
Finishings Make a Home

A room isn't memorable because of what's in it. It's memorable because of how it makes you feel. The magic happens in the finishings - the thoughtful layers that bring warmth, personality and meaning to a home. From color and lighting to textiles, artwork and personal treasures, they're the details - the hardest, most important, and for me, the very best part - that transform a room into a beautiful, well-loved space.

About Jane Design and Home

Jane Design and Home, led by Maura Corbett, is a residential interior design studio  based in Washington, DC, Maryland's Eastern Shore and beyond. The name is a tribute to my mother, Jane, who constantly redesigned everything, eventually opening a successful children's clothing and furniture shop. When I was thirteen, she let me pick out the kitchen wallpaper and she loved it. That changed everything.

 

On nights and weekends, I helped with the shop, Little Footprints, sourcing at trade shows and learning from her exactly what made pieces worth having. She taught me that it didn't matter what you had in a room if it didn't make people feel good for being in it.  And before nursery design became its own industry, I started Goodnight Room, designing children's rooms around the beautiful, special furniture and linens she sourced. For decades, I've designed spaces for friends and family, but always on the side of a demanding full-time career - until now.

How Jane Can Help

You might need help pulling a room together. Or you need someone to guide you through a big refresh or renovation. Or you just need a trusted eye to help you make confident decisions — which happens to be something I've spent decades doing.

​

Wherever you are, I'll meet you there. Together, we'll clarify your vision and bring your ideas to life with thoughtful decisions that feel right for your home — not someone else's. Whether we're choosing paint colors, creating an entire room, or adding the finishing touches, my goal is to help you create a home that makes you happy. â€‹

​

​At the end of the day, home should be the one place that asks nothing of you - except to come in.

Welcome to the conversations we'd probably be having if you came over for coffee.

Jane Says is where design advice meets random stories, strong opinions, and the occasional unnecessary deep dive into lamps.

Because life's too short for bad lighting, shag carpet and homes that don't make you want to sing a little.
