Our Services

At Duncan Hughes Interiors, we offer a full range of interior design services, including interior renovation, new construction, home furnishing, and interior design. Our services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project and client, and we are committed to exceeding expectations whilst delivering exceptional results.

Step One - Design Planning

We believe in a collaborative partnership between the interior designer and the client. We take the time to listen, learn, and understand your needs, aspirations, and what makes you feel most at home. Our initial consultation establishes a clear vision for your project, followed by site inspections, measurements, assessment of existing furnishings, and the development of comprehensive floor plans, including furnishings, lighting design, millwork and cabinetry, and tile layout.

Step Two - Design Concept, Sourcing, and Selection

In this phase, we present floor plans, samples, and ideas, discussing furniture, fabrics, lighting, rugs, window treatments, wall coverings, paint color, and details such as hardware selection, art, and accessories. We can also custom design furniture pieces to ensure the perfect fit and aesthetic for your space.

Step Three - Project Implementation

Our scope consists of both design and project management services, ensuring that every project is executed and completed with the utmost quality and attention to detail. We coordinate architects, builders, trades, and craftsmen, while assuring budgets and schedules are adhered to, materials are ordered and procured, and the project is completed according to the plans. We oversee the final installation day and continue to accommodate our clients' needs beyond completion.

Classic Gallery

Our classic gallery projects range from historic Federal-Style mansions in the Berkshires, sprawling summer "cottages" on the Newport shore to elegant and sophisticated Boston townhouses for growing families. These rich, layered interiors showcase classic interior design that incorporates historic details, updated for today's lifestyles.

Modern Gallery

Modern interior design doesn't have to be cold or impersonal. We love bringing warmth and vitality to modern spaces, from mid-century inspired downtown lofts to luxury high-rise apartments in Boston and New York City. Spaces to celebrate, entertain, and reminisce with family and friends - proof that contemporary art in a classic setting can be a perfect match.

Commercial Gallery

Public spaces and restaurants that feel like home, that transport and excite you. Our commercial projects include a restaurant meant to recall an artist's studio from the 1940s, creative office spaces, model apartments, and spas that evoke comfort and serenity. We create gathering spaces that make you want to come back again and again.

At Duncan Hughes Interiors, our mission is to create extraordinary interiors that reflect and celebrate the lives of our clients. By fostering a partnership built on clear communication, collaboration, and mutual respect, we deliver exceptional results that surpass your expectations, ensuring the perfect harmony of aesthetics, style, and functionality.
