Oliver James Interiors is a boutique residential interior designer based in the Boston, Massachusetts metro area.

Our signature aesthetic is timeless, fresh, whimsical, inspired by nature, quietly sophisticated, and above all else, where functionality and beauty meet in the middle. We have a deep love for old homes, antiques, and historical preservation making it functional for modern living. You will also often find color and pattern in our designs that ensure these spaces are inspirational, liveable, and a truer reflection of our client's interests. We pride ourselves in telling our client’s story through our designs and, most importantly, making it feel like home. In addition, we aim to minimize our environmental impact, prioritize quality craftsmanship, and build long-lasting relationships with our clients and vendors.

The name of my Boston-based interior design firm, Oliver James, is a combination of my son's and daughter’s middle names.

This design studio embodies the spirit of bringing life to your home that is not only personal and timeless, but a design guaranteed to be treated with care as if it were my own. I have years of experience as a decorator in the Boston area and around the country and I enjoy bringing in worldly elements to my designs inspired by my travels around the world. I value quality for its enduring existence and the little details that make a big impact. Most importantly, I value trusting, long-lasting relationships with my clients and providing an unmatched quality of service and communication.
