The Studio

Based in Boston's historic Beacon Hill, Nubuor Designs specializes in comprehensive home renovations and thoughtfully curated interiors for discerning homeowners throughout New England. We approach every project as a true partnership, taking time to understand your vision, your lifestyle, and exactly how your home needs to function at every stage of the design process.

Attention to detail defines our work. From initial concept sketches through final styling touches, every element receives careful consideration. We navigate the balance between aesthetic vision, budget realities, and project requirements to bring your ideal home to life. Whether managing a full renovation, coordinating with architects and contractors, or designing custom spaces, we handle the complexity so you can enjoy the transformation.

Our Aesthetic

We believe every home has its own story to tell. Rather than imposing a signature aesthetic, we draw inspiration from your property's architecture, landscape, and history to create spaces that feel both intentional and inevitable. Each project becomes a layered experience, thoughtfully shaped to reflect your individuality and the way you actually live.

Our approach balances timeless appeal with personal character. Whether your taste leans modern or traditional, colorful or tonal, we create harmonious interiors through quality materials, unexpected moments, genuine comfort, and details that reward closer attention. This isn't about chasing trends or creating showrooms. It's about designing spaces that feel as good in twenty years as they do today.

This philosophy extends to how we source. We collaborate with artisans and vendors across the country and beyond, curating a mix of bespoke furnishings and carefully chosen vintage pieces. These collected elements give each space soul and authenticity that catalog purchases simply cannot replicate. The result? Interiors that inspire daily yet handle real life beautifully.

Margaret Nubuor

With a foundation in architecture and a decade of high-end residential design experience, Margaret Nubuor has led the transformation of over 30 properties across Boston, Cape Cod, New York, and coastal Maine. Before establishing Nubuor Designs, she developed her expertise at various Boston design firms, working on luxury residential projects throughout New England.

Margaret's approach balances technical expertise with an understanding of how beautiful homes should function for daily life. She invests time to deeply understand her clients' lives and aesthetic sensibilities, creating interiors that feel both intentional and effortless. Her process emphasizes clear communication, meticulous planning, and collaboration built on trust and expertise. Margaret's clients often become long-term relationships, returning for second homes, referring family members, or simply maintaining connection beyond the completion of their projects. This, she believes, is the truest measure of success design.

When she's not designing, Margaret can be found walking her black lab Jasper through Beacon Hill, discovering treasures at antique markets, painting watercolors, or traveling for design inspiration. She's a candle connoisseur and maintains an ever-growing collection of sewing projects she fully intends to complete someday.

  • “I have been fortunate to work with Margaret while designing our new home. She is both extremely creative while also being pragmatic and an absolute pleasure to work with!! We have future renovation plans and she was able to design spaces and choose furniture that will still work for us in post-renovation. She made the entire process fun and easy! She is extremely organized and doesn’t forget any details. I’m so grateful for her help and support. Our home turned out beautifully and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future when we renovate!!

  • “We hired Margaret, before we moved in, to fully decorate and design our single-family brownstone in the south end. Her partnership, unique style and attention to every detail has exceeded our expectations. She has made the entire process easy and enjoyable and the end result continues to amaze us. She takes the time to understand your families needs and style and provides fantastic options of how to achieve that vision. We would highly recommend Nubuor Design.”
