Trellis Home Design

Trellis Home Design is a Hingham, MA interior design studio built around one person: Allison Mattison, who left a career in fashion to found the firm in 2011. The company says it works on new construction, full-scale renovations, and historic homes throughout New England, running out of its Hingham studio and a satellite office in Hyannis that reaches Boston, Cape Cod, and Martha's Vineyard clients. Every platform that rates Trellis agrees with each other: a perfect 5.0 on Houzz across six ratings, a 5-star average on Google from three ratings, and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. The firm has also picked up recognition beyond star ratings, including a 2016 mention in Boston Globe Magazine's "Best of the New" and a 2017 "Best of Boston Home" award for new-construction work. That said, the written reviews behind those numbers are thin — just two on record, both from 2023, echoing the same theme of design talent and an enjoyable process, with nothing more recent to confirm the streak has held up. There isn't much else to flag: nine total star ratings across Google and Houzz is a small sample, and the firm has never pursued formal BBB accreditation despite its top grade there. Trellis reads like a fit for a full design overhaul — a new build, a big renovation, a historic home — rather than a single trade job. Worth asking for a couple of recent references given how little written feedback exists, and confirming a project falls within its Hingham, Hyannis, Boston, Cape Cod, or Martha's Vineyard service area.
