Modern Yet Muted

Interior Design: Nubuor Designs

Stylist : Sean William Styling
Project Location : Lexington, MA

Nubuor Designs provided comprehensive interior design services for a cherished family home in Lexington, Massachusetts. This unique project required strategic, holistic planning: the homeowners updated their furniture and lighting first, with plans for a major first-floor renovation and kitchen remodel in the coming years. Every piece selected needed to work beautifully both in the current layout and after the renovation, a challenge that shaped nearly every decision. Through careful space planning and thoughtful furniture design, we created a cohesive modern aesthetic with clean lines and muted neutral tones accented by fresh hues, a foundation built to carry through the home's evolution.

This page covers Phase One of the project, the furniture and lighting selections completed ahead of the renovation. Phase Two, the first-floor renovation and kitchen remodel, will be documented on its own page as that work gets underway.
