Your Vision. Our Expertise. Tom’s process is always client-centered. Whether you're building from the ground up or simply refreshing one room, he and his team begin by learning how you live and what you want from your space. From there, they create a personalized design that reflects your lifestyle, taste, and needs. Tom is known for obsessing over details—from remeasuring spaces two and three times, to evaluating how a drapery panel affects the balance of a room. He makes sure every piece, color, and layout decision contributes to a space that feels like home the moment you walk in.
Classic, Timeless Design
Function Meets Fashion
At Design Studio of Somerville, we believe great design should look beautiful—and live beautifully, too.
This project is a perfect example. Our client needed a space that could keep up with real life: two kids, a large dog, frequent guests, and everyday chaos. But they also wanted it to feel refined, cohesive, and timeless.
So, we designed a room that delivers both. Durable finishes, smart layouts, and family-friendly fabrics make the space effortless to use. Thoughtful lighting, balanced proportions, and a curated palette ensure it still feels elevated and pulled together.
It’s not just functional. It’s fashionable. It’s not just beautiful. It’s built to last.
This is what we do every day—designing spaces that serve your lifestyle without compromising on style.
