Designer Profile

“We are grateful for [Audrey’s] vision, high energy, quick response and the professionalism of both her and her staff…”
Dolores F., Midland Park, NJ


I extend a warm, yet totally professional experience to my clients, utilizing the skills and perceptions that began with my degree in interior design and honed from my thirty-plus years of work in the residential and commercial arenas. I set myself apart from trends by constantly updating my personal style with continuing education and travel. Concentration in lighting design is among my top priorities.

My firm is based in New Hope, the heart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Audrey Long Interior Design (ALID) is no “one style” firm. My project list is as likely to include country houses and inns, vacation Adirondack cottages, urban condominiums and contemporary shore-side homes, as it is office and medical buildings. I am especially qualified in renovation and new construction. I bring the latest trends and techniques, but believe that fads lack permanence. “I specialize in putting people in touch with their surroundings.” ALID has one primary objective: to successfully translate the expectations and requirements of my clients into an environment that is both visually pleasing and physically comfortable.
