Working with Sarah was the best decision we made for our first renovation—a kitchen and bath remodel for our post-and-beam summer home in Falmouth. She handled everything from space planning to cabinetry and finish selections, guiding us through every decision and pulling together the details into a beautiful, cohesive design. With both of us working full-time and coordinating with a builder on the Cape, Sarah made the entire process stress-free. We can’t recommend her highly enough if you’re looking for a talented and experienced Boston kitchen and bath designer.
Sarah completed a full home renovation for us in Hingham, and the experience exceeded every expectation. She led the space planning for our kitchen, family room, bathrooms, and closets—helping us make smart layout decisions that truly improved how we live in the house. She guided us through every detail, from lighting plans and plumbing fixtures to cabinetry design and materials. Throughout the renovation, her clear vision and organized process made everything feel manageable. Once construction wrapped, she handled the final layer—furnishings, rugs, paint colors, and wallpaper. The house now feels personal, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed from top to bottom.
I worked with Sarah Scales on several projects and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our initial consultation to the final reveal, Sarah showcased a remarkable blend of creativity, practicality, and professionalism that truly set her apart. One of the standout qualities of Sarah is her budget-minded approach. She understands that interior design can be a significant investment, and she is committed to delivering beautiful results within her clients' means. Sarah can also navigate a range of design aesthetics. She has a keen eye for detail and a knack for selecting fun, unique pieces that inject personality into a space based on her clients' personality. Her ability to combine different styles harmoniously is truly remarkable, and she takes great care to ensure that each element contributes to the overall vision of the project. What I appreciated most about working with Sarah was the time and thought she invests in each project. She believes that every space has a story to tell, and she makes it her mission to uncover and highlight that narrative. During our collaboration, Sarah took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and the history of the space we were working with. This thoughtful approach resulted in a design that genuinely reflected who I am and how I live. Sarah's process is highly collaborative and she is incredibly easy to communicate with, always open to feedback and willing to adjust her designs as needed. This flexibility, combined with her creative vision, made for a productive partnership that I genuinely valued.
After an interior design consultation at my home in Concord, Sarah helped me cut through layers of indecision and offered clear, actionable advice—starting with paint colors, wallpaper ideas, and fabric selections. So helpful and professional!
I booked a two-hour interior design consultation with Sarah and it was incredibly helpful. She gave thoughtful, off-the-cuff advice on everything from area rugs and window treatments to furniture layouts and art placement. The PDF she sent after our meeting was packed with actionable ideas tailored to my space, which I’ve been able to implement at my own pace. Highly recommend for flexible, expert guidance without a full-service commitment
