We create feel-good homes from the heart

 

Oak + Arrow believes our homes should be calming retreats that give us a sense of peace every time we walk in the door. To us, that means spaces that are equal parts relaxed and classy, with smart functionality that makes everyday life easier and more enjoyable. We embrace a fresh, cozy style that’s a unique mix of clean-lined transitional, coastal casual, and lived-in luxury for designs that fall right in the middle between formal and modern.

By mixing different styles and eras with muted, easy-to-live-with colors and our secret ingredient, texture, and more texture, we give our clients spaces with timeless character and visual interest. Based in Louisiana, we specialize in new construction, renovation, and furnishing projects for homes and businesses in and around New Orleans and anywhere people want a from-the-heart, feel-good home.

We walk our talk

Our values - Professionalism, Kindness, Integrity, and Quality - aren’t just words. They’re how we live and they’re what we want you to say about us to your friends and family when you work with us. We hold ourselves to high standards of professionalism and quality to give you the best, most seamless experience and results possible from our communications and processes to our designs and the products we use to create them. As simple as it sounds, we truly believe kindness and integrity change everything. We approach everyone we encounter with this in mind and work to create an atmosphere filled with caring, respect, honesty, and transparency everywhere we go.

 

Our Founder + Principal Designer

Meet Lacey

After graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in Interior Design, Lacey Holdsworth worked with a design firm in her native New Orleans, then moved to Wyoming. There, she spent years with a luxury design firm designing homes, including the complete redesign of a country club.

Lacey eventually returned to NOLA where she opened a brick and mortar design store, Oak + Arrow, a name that paid homage to her love for both Louisiana and the western U.S.

As requests from customers grew for Lacey to design their homes, she pivoted the business into what it is now, a full-service interior design firm serving both residential and commercial clientele throughout New Orleans, as well as mountain and beachfront locations. Lacey’s signature comfortably elegant design style continues to capture the attention of clients and the media alike, while the friendly, seamless project experience she and her team provide makes O + A even more of a rising star in the eyes of clients and the design world at large.

Twice per year, Lacey travels to design industry markets including High Point, Dallas, and Atlanta to find the latest and greatest products. By nurturing relationships with the best vendors in the business, Lacey ensures quality products and attentive service at the manufacturing level for her clients.

Client Testimonials

"Exceptionally creative. Lacey worked with us on a top-to-bottom renovation of a dated vacation home in Jackson Hole and we couldn't be more happy with the results. She has a tremendous eye for materials and textures, and in particular transformed a closet-like bathroom into what can only be described as a magnificent spa-like space. Throughout the process her communication was exemplary, she was a great thought partner, and kept us feeling very confident of the progress from afar. Could not recommend more highly!"

Gabrielle Novacek

"Lacey is very talented and did an amazing job with our home renovation project. We wanted a modern and clean look, she understood exactly what we wanted from the start and went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we asked for. Very happy with the result"

Josean Ramos

"Lacey helped transform our outdated home into the perfect living space. The job was fairly extensive...remodeling of bathrooms, interior stripped and repainted, removal of carpeting and installing hardwood floors etc. Her choice of all new furniture throughout is not only comfortable but aesthetically beautiful. All this while staying within the timeframe promised and on budget!"
