The Design Studio

Nubuor Designs is a Boston-based interior design studio specializing in comprehensive renovations and thoughtfully curated interiors. We're all about true partnership and work closely with you to understand your vision, your lifestyle, and how you need your home to work for you at every step of the design process.

We're detail-obsessed in the best way possible. From initial concept sketches to the final styling touches, every element gets careful consideration. We balance your aesthetic preferences with budget realities and project requirements to help you achieve your ideal home. Whether it's managing the full scope of a renovation, coordinating with contractors and architects, or designing custom kitchens and baths, we're hands-on through it all so you don't have to be.

Our Style

We treat every home as its own story, by drawing inspiration from the existing architecture and landscape to create a home that feels cohesive and intentional. Our approach is rooted in contemporary principles, but is always customized to reflect how you live—so each room has its own character while the whole home flows beautifully together. We combine functionality with innovative design to create interiors that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Our aesthetic is all about timeless elements that feel enduring, whether your style leans hyper-modern or classically traditional. We focus on creating balanced, harmonious spaces where the design aligns with your practical needs and the atmosphere you're after. That approach also guides how we source. We work with vendors and artisans near and far to find the perfect mix of bespoke furnishings and those can't-live-without vintage pieces that give your space real soul. It's how we create interiors that are both polished and deeply personal.

Margaret Nubuor

With a background in architecture and years of experience in residential design, Margaret has led high-end renovation projects across Boston, Cape Cod, New York City, and Maine. Her approach blends technical expertise with a genuine love for creating spaces that work beautifully for how people actually live.

Margaret's goal is to make the design process enjoyable with clear communication and careful planning. She works with deep respect for her clients, their homes, and their daily routines, taking the time to understand what matters most so every design choice feels intentional and personal. By sharing her knowledge openly, and presenting a range of design options, she empowers clients to make confident decisions they'll feel great about for years to come. For Margaret, it's not just about completing projects: it's about building lasting relationships.

When she's not designing, you can usually find Margaret:

  • Walking her dog Jasper through Beacon Hill

  • Picnicking along the Charles River Esplanade

  • Sketching and painting watercolors of her projects and travels

  • Hunting for treasures at antique shops

  • Shopping for the perfect candle (always)

  • Photographing beautiful doors wherever she goes

  • Saving far too many design inspo images

  • Ignoring her ever-growing pile of home sewing projects

  • Making lists (so many lists)

  • "Margaret brings a rare mix of refined taste, technical precision, and calm leadership to high-end residential projects. She’s thoughtful about how a home feels and functions day-to-day, while also having the design horsepower to execute at a truly custom, elevated level. "

  • “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.”
