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.

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.

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.

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.
