Boston Interior Designer: Have Acura, Will Travel

We’re Boston interior designers, but that doesn’t mean being tied down to one city. Whether it’s a city apartment, a mountain retreat, or a getaway, we approach every project the same: With attention to detail and love for the craft.

New England is a place that clings to its history while keeping one foot firmly planted in the present. Our job as interior designers is to honor that tension, to embrace the quirks and contradictions of every space we touch. From a historic brownstone to a ski retreat in the mountains, the goal is always the same: To create something timeless and deeply personal.

Designing here means stepping into a story that’s already been written—and then figuring out how to make it your own. It’s equal parts respect and reinvention, a balancing act that keeps things interesting (and us up at night). Read on to discover how the distinctive character of each area influences our design approach.

Beantown Beauties

This is the kind of city where you can’t escape history, and why would you want to? It’s in the cobblestones and the brick facades. We fall for oversized brownstone windows that flood a room with light even on a cloudy day. The challenge is making these spaces work for how people live now, without sanding off all their character.

One project, featured in Boston Home, involved transforming a South End brownstone while keeping its soul intact. Upstairs, a roof deck offers a slice of serenity—because sunsets just hit differently when you’re perched above the city. In another brownstone design, an original fireplace is the focal point of a living room that blended classic charm with a fresh perspective.

Designing in Boston means leaning into the quirks. Those tiny entryways are a chance to make a big impression. The old millwork is our best friend. And yes, you probably need a roof deck—trust me on this.

Salt Air Hits Different

Boston’s South Shore has a way of slowing everything down. Maybe it’s the salt air or the ocean views, but designing here feels like an exhale. The spaces are elegant but unpretentious, just like the coastline they call home.

Below, a historic homes simple family room is wrapped in light grey paint, accented with an oversized blue chair. In the middle, another Hingham home’s family room has space for a bistro table and nautical art. On the right, a pool house renovation, featured in New England Home Magazine, was designed to be simple and modern. All coastal, each one different.

Coastal homes have a rhythm of their own, and the best designs honor that. It’s not about filling every corner—it’s about letting the light in. We’ve touched historic homes in Hingham, renovations in Cohasset, and new construction from Hull down to Duxbury… The South Shore has our heart (and our portfolio).

Just Outside the City…

Suburban homes might not get the same buzz as their city or coastal counterparts, but they offer their own design opportunities. Beyond the city lines, homes come with more space—inside and out. Without the constraints of small spaces or coastal influences, the design is driven by flow, function, and the opportunity to layer details that enhance every day life. See a few of our suburban kitchen and bath projects.

On the left, Boston Globe Magazine featured our natural oak kitchen in Westwood. The cabinets are as practical as they are beautiful, with countertops that can handle everything from toddler spills to holiday baking marathons. A primary bathroom renovation in Dover embraces a similar philosophy: timeless, functional, and with just the right touch of luxury. Another Westwood kitchen (with moody grey cabinets) that graced the cover of Boston Home. Lastly, a large scale home renovation in Needham, embracing the white-and-bright kitchen.

Headed Down The Cape

Spending summers on the Cape has given our team firsthand experience with bridge backups, weekend traffic woes, and the charm of classic shingle-style homes. We’ve navigated winter build-outs across the mainland and islands with ease, from Falmouth to Osterville, Nantucket to Martha’s Vineyard. Take a look at some of our recent projects: a waterfront Edgartown backyard deck, a revamped 70’s beach shack, and—because we clearly have a thing for them—a roof deck bay views.

Northern Comfort

There’s something about the rugged beauty of Northern New England that demands a design response. These homes need to feel warm and inviting, but they also have to hold their own against snow, rain, and everything else the region throws at them.

A recent project in Vermont brought rustic charm and modern elegance together under one roof. Think layered textures, cozy furniture; it’s the kind of place that makes you want to light a fire, pour a drink, and settle in for the entire season.

Designing here is about more than aesthetics. It’s about creating spaces that feel connected to the land, the weather, and the people who call them home.

The City That Never Sleeps

While New England will always be home, our work often takes us beyond its borders. A recent project brought us to New York City, where we tackled the challenge of designing a modern high-rise apartment in Lenox Hill. New construction in the city has a way of feeling stark—white drywall, compact layouts, and a cityscape that’s as hard-edged as it is breathtaking. Our goal… To create spaces that feel like a haven. We want ‘warm and inviting’ amidst the urban chaos.

We leaned into custom details to make it happen. Wallpaper from Zak & Fox added texture and personality, Verellen furniture brings understated comfort, and custom lighting tied everything together. In a city where square footage is a luxury, every corner counts, and every detail matters. Still a work in progress—click here to see more photos from the project so far.

Design That Travels, Wherever You Call Home

Our work is simple: design spaces that reflect the people who live in them. As a Boston interior designer, we travel from the city to the Cape, the mountains to Manhattan. And every project is shaped by how our clients live, work, and connect.

It’s not just about furniture and finishes—it’s about creating intentional spaces that function well and feel considered.
