HOWARTH DESIGNS

A former client’s newly acquired Cambridge residence (c. 1886) had been remodeled but needed to be completely furnished during a pandemic. This custom interior was created entirely remotely.

The lower level features a large music room for enhanced listening and piano playing, along with a light-filled work space, multifunction guest room and TV viewing den. Accents of wallpaper are used throughout the home to evoke depth and movement.

A high-tech, modular media/game room leads the way for a family of five. This ambitious agenda was realized using sleek storage and comfortable retro-inspired furnishings.

Comfort, color, and closed storage continue upstairs. A dining room/study provides three secretary desks, a Danish reading chair and extension dining/work table for a sophisticated, triple-duty space.

This expansive industrial home, complete with weathered wood, barn doors and iron railings, presented a challenge. My clients wanted something more than earth tones and rustic furniture.

In addition to paintings by accomplished artists, accessible custom elements here and there help to define this family’s personality.

A piece of artwork that caught my client’s eye inspired the color palette in this lively condo. For a fresh start, pleasant paint colors filled the walls and window frames to enhance the view.

A family’s dark and overflowing kitchen, complete with peninsula, oak cabinetry and pantry in the dining room was enlightened with a new floor plan and light stone.

An upscale condominium was simplified and redesigned in harmony with the changing colors of the river and sky visible from each window. A premium was placed on elegant comfort and lightness inspired by my client’s personal art collection.

Indian, Moroccan, Egyptian and American furnishings were combined with my clients’ international art and object collection to create an airy interior that provides a distinctive and practical home to suit a young family.

Comfort, function and style now define these once seldom-used living spaces. The spicy color palette and conversational seating in the common areas encourage casual entertaining.

A 1980’s passive solar home on the river came to life with a fresh kitchen and baths and the replacement of heavy millwork with light cable railings that enhance the home’s playful features.

A traditional townhome was respected but reimagined for entertaining and the owners' taste for contemporary surroundings and color!

A brick colonial is transformed into a hip and spacious home for a family of five. A modern cable railed staircase was designed to provide an open transition. The family’s favorite artwork informed the unusual color palette.

Two condominiums were combined to create a unique craftsman-inspired home complete with William Morris textiles and wallpaper used in a modern, clutter-free manner. The genius of Morris and his contemporaries proves relevant to contemporary living.

This basic condominium was customized with fine furnishings, architectural elements and a retro refrigerator. Bits of bright turquoise and red add drama to the otherwise neutral interior, reflecting my client’s sophisticated and fun personality.

Decidedly modern furnishings and bold color were combined to add personality and provide a young couple with a comfortable and stylish home to share with their friends and family.

Interiors respecting the updated architecture of this barn style home were designed to modernize the traditional style of a former residence. Natural materials, fabrics and colors combine to create a refined calm.
