Coastal New England Interior Design

Coastal New England Interior Design for families that want calm not chaos

We design timeless & functional homes across Connecticut’s shoreline — from Madison and Old Lyme to Guilford and Essex. Our process is built for busy families who want elevated interiors without managing the endless decisions, deliveries and vendor chaos that come with construction or full-home furnishing.

Who is this service for?

Our Coastal New England offering is ideal for homeowners who want:

  • A full-service, done-for-you design experience

  • A home that feels serene, layered, and rooted in timeless coastal style

  • Materials and furnishings that hold up to humidity, salt air, and real family life

  • A studio that manages the details end-to-end

  • A team comfortable working with water-facing homes, historic properties, and coastal-cottage architectural quirks

If you’re building or renovating in Madison, Old Lyme, Branford, Niantic, Guilford, Essex, Westbrook, Old Saybrook, or Clinton, we’re your people.

Our Full Service Design Process

Step 1: Kickoff & Walkthrough

We start with photos, measurements, and an aesthetic review. If you're renovating a historic or coastal property, we also assess architectural details, natural light, and lifestyle flow.

Step 2: Design Concept & Renderings

We build a full design concept — furnishings, finishes, textiles, color palette, flooring, lighting — all selected to withstand shoreline living. Renderings help you see the final vision before we ever place an order.

Step 3: Approvals & Timeline

We review the plan together, finalize selections, and set a timeline coordinated with your builder, contractor, or renovation team.

Step 4: Procurement & Storage

We order everything, manage every vendor, handle damages, and store all furnishings in our temperature-controlled warehouse until install day.

Step 5: Final Installation & Styling

From delivery to assembly to styling, we take your home from “under construction” to “Instagram-ready” in one perfectly coordinated install.
