The Company
My love of New England’s older homes and an appreciation for the varying architectural styles in the region inspired me to start my company in 2016. We work with our clients in Newton and the surrounding communities to discover the potential embedded within their homes. Character never goes out of style. Our goal is to create spaces that are updated and on trend while also preserving a home’s history and highlighting architecture and character.
Sarah
Owner and Principal Designer
Sarah is committed to creating homes that are unique and reflect who her clients are. She considers it a privilege to be a part of her client’s lives and give them a tailored design experience that combines artistry, function and outstanding service. She prefers timeless over trendy and has a particular affinity to British-inspired colors and patterns. Quality is always a top priority.
Sarah hold a degree in Physics from Baylor University and a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from Brandeis University. She left science to pursue a more creative profession and explore her passion for historic architecture. Her problem-solving abilities and close attention to detail are skills she relied on as a scientist , and they are now invaluable to work as a designer. She has studied at both the New York School for Interior Design and the Boston Architectural College and have spent the past 10+ years working in the interior design field.
Sarah lives in Newton with her husband and two kids. When not working, she loves to run and sip rare bourbons (but not at the same time).
Isabella
Assistant Designer
After moving to the United States from Switzerland and earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Wheaton College, Isabella’s professional journey began as an intern for a high-end interior design firm on Martha’s Vineyard. Inspired by this experience and with a newfound passion and respect for interior design, she then decided to pursue a masters in Interior Architecture from the Boston Architectural College.
At Sarah Cole Interiors, Isabella works alongside Sarah throughout the design process. She is an integral part of planning interior architecture as well as kitchen and bath design. She has a passion for color and prints and a true eye for unique and captivating pieces for projects.
Outside the office, Isabella loves exploring local restaurants, going to Bruins games, relaxing on the beach and spending cozy nights at home.
Julie
Project Coordinator/Office Administrator
Building partnerships with clients and vendors and facilitating an awesome experience for our clients are Julie’s passions. Julie brings over 20 years of experience in account management, project management and administrative work to Sarah Cole Interiors. She is an integral part of the design process and keeps every project organized and on track. She and her husband are new(ish) home owners, which sparked her interest in home design. When she is not in the office, her two children keep her active and busy, whether it is a beach trip, a hike or a trip to the local park. Her day always starts with morning yoga, light meditation and coffee (in no particular order)!
Working with Sarah was amazing! Not only does she have great style, but she really understands the style of her clients. She is responsible and professional, and she has great contacts in all areas (upholstery, window decor, wallpaper, paint, custom furniture, etc.) so whatever you need she can do. She knows when to splurge and when to save to make the room look perfect. Every time I look around my house I am so happy with what I see, I will absolutely be working with Sarah again.
