About
We are interior designers who pride ourselves on our ability to work fluently in a range of aesthetics. We engage our clients in the process to whatever extent they prefer, and genuinely enjoy collaboration. We handle new-builds and large scale renovations, as well as room-by-room refreshers.
We are a team of three designers and one procurement officer. We are based in MetroWest Boston (Needham) and in the front range in Colorado (Evergreen). Our work extends to lake homes in New Hampshire, beach homes on Cape Cod, city apartments in Washington, D.C.and Denver, and Aspen mountain retreats. We enjoy the challenge of new geographical locations and are set-up to handle homes wherever the destination may be!
