About US
We are design chameleons. We don't believe in pushing our aesthetic to our clients and instead love to work with them to discover their style.
We are also big believers in budgeting. If you work with us, get ready to do a deep dive into your project's budget before we begin.
Oh, and did we forget to mention: we love what we do and like to have fun! Our goal is to make your project enjoyable and take the stress out of your design journey.
our philosophy
Herringbone & Brass is a Boston-based interior design studio and boutique consultancy specializing in luxury homes and commercial spaces. We believe that the layers that embellish a home — wallpaper, drapes, rugs, furniture — can tell a personal story and transform how a space feels and functions.
Herringbone & Brass
Hi there, we are
Sylvia founded Herringbone & Brass when she realized that styling and interior design were intricate components of her work in luxury real estate. She oversees operations at H&B and enjoys staying close to all of the firm's projects.
Sylvia has renovated, built and sold multiple luxury properties in Boston and Miami. She's a licensed real estate agent and has a strong track record of advising clients on the best strategy to improve their property (via styling, staging or through minor renovations) as they're getting ready to put it on the market. If you're thinking about selling your home, contact Sylvia for a complimentary brainstorm session.
