Boston Interior Designer

Nubuor Designs is a Boston interior design studio creating thoughtful, highly personal homes through renovations, furnishings, and full-service design. Based in Beacon Hill, we work with homeowners throughout Boston and the surrounding communities on projects that deserve careful planning, beautiful materials, and a design that feels unmistakably theirs.

Boston homes come with their own particular set of considerations. Historic architecture, brownstones, narrow lots, older building systems, preservation requirements, and the realities of city construction all shape what is possible. We approach each project by understanding the house first, then designing around the way our clients actually live.

Boston's housing stock spans a real range, historic brownstones and rowhouses throughout the older neighborhoods, but also newer condominiums, contemporary builds, and homes that have already been substantially renovated and simply need furnishing and finishing. We approach each the same way, by understanding the space in front of us rather than applying one fixed style across every project.

That range shows up in our own work. A historic townhouse and a clean-lined contemporary condo call for entirely different decisions, but the same level of attention, from how a room is laid out to the materials and furnishings that finish it.

Interior Design for Boston Homes

Designing in Boston's Historic Homes

Our work ranges from comprehensive gut renovations to furnishing projects and everything in between. We help clients develop the vision, rethink layouts, select materials and finishes, coordinate with architects and contractors, source furnishings, and carry the project through installation.

For renovations, we believe design should happen before construction begins. A thoughtful plan gives the entire team a clearer direction and allows decisions to be made intentionally rather than on site, when changes are more difficult and expensive.

A Design Process Built Around Your Lifestyle

Every project begins with understanding how you live, what isn't working, what you want to preserve, and what you want the home to become. From there, we develop a design that brings architecture, materials, furnishings, lighting, and function together as one cohesive whole.

Whether you're considering a Boston brownstone, a historic townhouse, a condominium, or a home that simply needs to work better for your family, we'd love to hear about it.

  • “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.”

    — Client, Jamie W.

  • We interviewed three popular Boston designers with beautiful portfolios and impressive credentials. Then we met Margaret and realized we'd rather work with someone who actually answers our calls than someone we can name drop at dinner parties. Best decision we made for our home.

    — Client, Rachel H.

  • Margaret is the best! She brought incredible style, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to our project all while working within our budget. The result is warm, cozy, and uniquely personal spaces that are perfect for our family with young kids. I've recommended her to multiple friends, and they've all loved working with her just as much as I did. Hire her — you won't regret it!
