A full home design should feel cohesive—a harmonious balance of form and function that flows seamlessly from room to room. It’s a daunting prospect, but one that Sarah Scales Design Studio specializes in. 

By considering your family and lifestyle needs, principal Sarah Scales sets out to create whole home designs rooted in practicality and longevity, while still delivering beauty and character. With deep industry knowledge and a well of trusted partners and contractors, Scales can transform your space into a balanced design from its very foundation to every last decorative detail.

Kitchens and baths are two of the most common updates homeowners make. Whether it’s opening up the space to make it more functional or modernizing finishes and cabinetry, it’s a refresh that can instantly add value to your life and home

These projects are also the most complicated, technical, and expensive, and a practiced hand is needed to ensure that the space is both usable and beautiful. Because both kitchens and baths are ruled by daily ritual, Scales leverages her architectural and space planning experience to create smart, customized designs that suit a homeowner’s personality and day-to-day needs.

Scales translates her visual arts background into an ability to breathe life into a space with color, proportion, depth, and texture. The studio provides the kind of decorative touches that enhance and elevate your home—blending vintage finds and family heirlooms with carefully selected textiles, decor, or art.

From morning routines to nightly rituals, and everything in between - we’re eating, working, raising, reading, relaxing, and sleeping in our homes – the basics of life. It’s where we connect to our family and friend, and fully rejuvenate in a journey to becoming our best selves. Our environment is powerful – it can be mood lifting, comforting, supporting. I believe in creating a sanctuary – a sacred place that provides safety and protection from the outside world. 

I am amazed by the clients who have invited our studio into their homes and am proud of the collection of projects we have touched over the past 10 years. I often feel lucky to work on Historic New England homes, some as much as 200 years old. Touching history – we are touching history, and in some ways creating it, in a sense that we are part of transforming old homes and spaces that lend themselves to…… timelessness. Timelessness of the aged home.
