In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let’s talk kitchens—the heart of the home. As a Boston kitchen designer, I’ve tackled some pretty unforgettable projects. Some are fresh, others historic, and a few date back to my earliest work. While some of these projects no longer grace my portfolio, they hold a special place in my design journey. Let’s dive into some standout spaces from a collection of our work.

Investing in custom cabinets pays off in any renovation or new build. While semi-custom and off-the-shelf options might seem budget-friendly, they often come with design limits and gaps that look “budget.” We love working with local artisans who bring flexibility, faster fixes, and quality. For this project, we teamed up with a millworker in New Hampshire, enjoy their beautiful, unique craftsmanship.

Welcome to Fall/Winter—also known as the season of the sticks for New England homes (cue Noah Kahan).  The magical time of year when boots come in caked with mud, sticks find their way into every crevice, and your once-organized space looks like the aftermath of a nature hike. Let’s talk about how this humble room can be your first defense against the chaos and maybe even look good doing it.

Designing kitchens and baths is about more than just creating beautiful spaces. It’s about crafting rooms that are functional, ergonomic, and tailored to your specific needs. At Sarah Scales Interior Design, we specialize in kitchen and bath design in Boston and beyond, delivering exceptional results that blend luxury with practicality.

In these kid-focused bath spaces, we’ve designed rooms that can handle the chaos of splashy mornings and toothpaste explosions, while still being inviting, practical, and stylish. From playful tiles and bold colors to durable materials that stand the test of time (and little hands), here’s how we created kid-friendly bathrooms that both parents and kids can love.

Designing a new home is a collaborative journey that transforms an empty space into a personalized sanctuary. We have over 20 years of experience across residential and commercial firms within the New England design and construction community. The studio seamlessly works alongside architects, builders, engineers, and other professionals to bring your vision to life.
