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!).

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.

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.

As an interior designer with a passion for New England design, I often travel to Martha’s Vineyard to work on unique projects. Recently, I transformed a luxury waterfront home in Edgartown, adding color, character, and livability within a tight budget and timeline. What was once an empty, white-walled house is now a vibrant, welcoming space ready for family and guests.

Renovating historic homes in New England is both a challenge and an art form. It requires a thoughtful balance between preserving the charm of the past and incorporating the necessities of modern living. From colonial-era farmhouses to Victorian brownstones and Arts and Crafts gems, these homes hold stories in their walls. Whether it’s a plaster medallion or an original marble fireplace, each speaks to the craft of a bygone era.

When it comes to outdoor living, blending modern functionality with old-school architecture can elevate any home. In our latest project, we transformed the exterior of a beautiful New England home, creating versatile outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertainment, as seen in Boston Home Magazine’s Instagram feed.

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.
