Our process
Choose it.
Whether it’s flooring and fixtures or furniture and decor, we’ll be there to help you make the important decisions. We start with an in-home consultation to discuss your project, take measurements and get a sense of your style. From there, we’ll create mood and design boards with different selections that work for your spaces. We then gather samples you can view in person and narrow down to your favorites.
Work it.
Whether we’re working just with you, or alongside your architect and builder, we’ll be there to cohesively create your beautiful new space. We’re a team of organized designers with project management skills ready to communicate our ideas with tradespeople, and are able to oversee the completion of the project.
Live it.
Our experienced design team will work hard to make sure all aspects of the project come together. We aspire to create contemporary yet natural spaces while making sure our clients enjoy the experience.
WHY SAGE?
We Celebrate the Makers
We develop relationships with artisans and craftsmen to play a primary role in the development of each of our projects, as well as offerings in the shop. Sustainability and celebrating the makers are what drives our business model.
We are a little unexpected
Our aesthetic isn’t your typical New England style. We find much of our inspiration from boutique resorts that focus on sustainability, nature, health, and overall well-being. Valuing a lasting impact over trend, our signature aesthetic blends contemporary design with global influences. We’re constantly seeking that easy California living with the feeling of an endless summer.
We’re inspired by nature
Drawing influence from our surroundings – a blend of natural materials, textures, and patterns – we believe a successful project comes from a balanced relationship between architecture, design, and landscape.
We are a full service studio
We are a design/build firm that is available to assist in all aspects of a project from concept to completion including project management, general contracting, in-house 3D renderings of your space, furniture procurement as well as styling. By owning a construction company (Cashman Development) we are able to handle all aspects of your project in house. This creates a cohesive team completely dedicated to your project.
We are professionals in our craft
We’re highly attuned to our clients’ individuality through a comprehensive design that begins from the moment we step onto the property. Our work over the years has been featured both online and in print. A few noteworthy mentions: The Boston Globe, HAVEN, Newburyport Magazine, Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy & North Shore Home.
