Milton home renovation by Sarah Scales Design Studio, showcasing custom natural oak pantry units, geometric mosaic floor tiles, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and light grey trim and ceiling.

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.

Our design studio does so much more than manage construction projects — we love decorating. From space planning for furniture to sourcing real-world items that make your home functional and beautiful, our approach to interior decorating is deeply personal. Decorating isn’t just about creating a Pinterest-worthy space; it’s about designing for you.

If you’re a brownstone lover, you know the charm: intricate plaster moldings, original details, and vintage fireplaces. In this South End project, we celebrated a historic brownstone renovation while designing a layout for modern living. With en-suite bedrooms, a luxurious primary suite, and a cozy guest suite, this home blends history and function. As a Boston interior designer, we honored the past while creating a fresh, livable space.

As a born-and-raised New Englander, I can shovel snow with ease and argue about chowder with passion. Photography has always been my creative compass, guiding my approach to New England design. My studio art degree from Fairfield University (see more of our resume here) hangs on the wall, but it’s New England’s colors, textures, and landscapes that do the real teaching.

Sarah Scales Design Studio's new project on the Upper East Side, New York City. Modern, colorful furnishings and playful art will fill this new construction space, launching in spring 2025.

When homeowners see a big, empty, white apartment, they panic. But designer see possibility. Say hello to our latest project: a brand-new Upper East Side apartment. Think killer views, chic finishes, and a mix of furnishings; plus colorful, contemporary art. Right now, it’s all potential—but check out the building and imagine what’s to come (and work with us too!).

Kitchen with natural oak cabinets, walnut butcher block end, brass pendants, custom linen drapery, contemporary art, and no upper cabinets.

We focused on honoring the home’s classic architecture while subtly updating it with modern furnishings for this full home renovation project in Hingham. We stayed true to historic home design principals, and reconfigured spaces WITHOUT extending beyond to original footprint of the house. The studio improved the floor plan, refreshed rooms with paint and wallpaper, and introduced details that feel both fresh and timeless.

New England’s outdoor living season may be brief, but it’s incredibly rewarding. These months invite full enjoyment of the outdoors, where thoughtful design makes every moment special. From charming garden patios in Boston brownstones to expansive decks on Martha’s Vineyard, New England design focuses on creating outdoor spaces that complement their natural surroundings and elevate everyday living.
