With a cohesive palette, modern touches, and a focus on historic home interior design, we brought new life to its iconic bones.

As a Boston interior designer, we honored the past while creating a fresh, livable space.

We focused on honoring the home’s classic architecture while subtly updating it with modern furnishings for this full home renovation project in Hingham.
