Navy is becoming a go-to choice in media room design for its deep and timeless appeal – especially in New England. This versatile color blends with both historic architecture and modern design, creating dramatic yet cohesive spaces – a quintessential coastal and classic hue. From a renovated Brookline home to a transformed Hingham basement to a Concord estate, see how navy lends depth, warmth, and sophistication.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
