Henley Design is a full-service interior design studio based in Salem, Massachusetts. Our projects vary from decorating to full-scale renovations and new construction.  Though the majority of our projects are located in Northern New England, we also manage several projects remotely, spanning across the country from New York to California. We collaborate with the best available artisans, craftsmen, contractors, builders, and design professionals to bring each of our projects to life. Each project we design is guided foremost by our clients' needs and lifestyles, the home's architecture, and the property's location, rather than by a signature style. Our studio shares a reverence for history and craft while embracing innovation, ensuring our projects endure over time.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Lisa Sebesta, Jan. 2025**

> I hired Henley Design during my divorce when I moved into a new townhouse.  They helped me redesign a home that was tasteful, comfortable and welcoming for me and my two children.  I really appreciated how they worked with me and my kids to understand what we wanted and made the process as smooth as possible.  They were always available to help if something wasn't quite right (i.e., window treatments, etc) and made sure it was fixed.  I highly recommend and would definitely work with them again.

**★★★★★ — Lindley Driscoll, Dec. 2024**

> Working with Henley Design made our home renovation project seamless and successful. Sarah and team provided detailed guidance throughout the process and helped us achieve an aesthetic I thought was only possible in my dreams! She has an excellent eye for bringing in new pieces while honoring cherished family heirlooms—creating a cohesive design that feels both fresh and personal.
>
> With two young children, we needed spaces that could work for daily family life while still looking polished. The Henley team sourced beautiful products and pieces that I could not have found on my own, thoughtfully considering every detail and layout decision. The result is a home that is cozy and functional for our family, while showcasing beautiful design elements that we cherish. I cannot recommend them enough!

**★★★★★ — pamelagehret, Nov. 2024**

> We cannot recommend the Henley Design team highly enough. They are professional, attentive to detail and creative. Our project was new construction on the Jersey Shore, and we wanted a modern coastal feel, without being too beachy. They immediately grasped our vision for our new home, as well as our taste for color and style, and transformed the space into just what we wanted. They communicated regularly with us throughout the project, as well as with our builder,  and were very responsive to all of our input and concerns. The best part was the installation. They made the whole design process easy and fun for us while they managed all of the details. Every time I walk into our new place I think WOW, and we get the same reaction from most everyone who visits. Could not be happier.

**★★★★★ — Penelope A, Nov. 2024**

> Sarah and her team are an absolute delight to work with. They are calm, organized, thoughtful, and quick to come up with solutions and ideas. Working with Henley Design has been the highlight of our renovation - I trusted them implicitly and I am so happy with the way our home came together. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

**★★★★★ — marrongelli, March 2022**

> I can't say enough good things about Sarah and her team.  I first worked with her (nearly five years ago) on my apartment in Back Bay, and then a year later on my entire home in Wellesley.  Every person who visits says my place looks like it belongs in a magazine!  She has an amazing eye for color, concept, design and detail.  She listens and understands my aesthetic and knows exactly what I will love.  Last Summer I wanted a refresh on several throw pillows; she provided me with plenty of great options and they turned out beautifully.  Then after working from home due to Covid, my couch cushions were looking a little worn and saggy and needed to be restuffed.  Unfortunately, there was some unexpected damage to the fabric of one of the covers.  Sarah and her team moved heaven and earth to remedy the situation as quickly as possible, and had both cushions completely remade (at no additional expense to me).  Not only is Sarah exceptionally talented in her work, she is truly a lovely person.  You will be fortunate to have her on your project!

**★★★★★ — sarahbarnesnh, March 2022**

> I loved working with Henley Design! They were professional, communicative and always on top of things. Their attention to detail was one of the things that I enjoyed the most. They understood what I wanted and made it happen. I am beyond happy with their service. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Margot Holman, March 2022**

> We really enjoyed working with Sarah and Abbey. They helped us refresh our first floor living space into a space that we love. They were fun to work with, always came with good energy, and communicated well. They did a great job working with our home - a mix of older family pieces and newer pieces- and helped to create a more sophisticated, cleaner look that we love. We have already recommended Sarah and Abbey to friends and look forward to working with them on future projects.

**★★★★★ — Sam, March 2022**

> Henley Designs made the design aspect of my renovation a breeze! As a new home owner, going through the process of a big renovation was daunting. Sarah and her team walked me through the process, helped me make some big decisions, and went above and beyond by interfacing directly with my contractor. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with the result. I've worked with Henley Designs on 2 projects, and will definitely use them again for my third. 5 stars!

**★★★★★ — Annie Brown, March 2022**

> The Henley team is wonderful to work with. They conducted an intro call and walked through options for initial planning and came on site to kick off planning. They are flexible with budgets and very resourceful. I appreciated Abbey's attention to detail, working with our likes/dislikes, timeline, and budget (an excellent listener!). She has incredible vision and transformed a house into our happy home.

**★★★★★ — Tom Gehret, March 2022**

> Sarah and Team were wonderful to work with during every step of the process! They were extremely efficient and put together an unbelievable aesthetic that fit our unconventional space perfectly. Despite challenges from supply chain constraints they followed through to make sure every item was delivered. A white-glove treatment through and through! We will definitely be using them on any future projects.

**★★★★★ — Kitchen great room  bathrooms, April 2021**

> The Henley Design team has been incredible to work with. They helped us with two houses (our personal home and our vacation rental) and the results in both cases far exceeded our expectation. They are collaborative, creative, extremely easy to work with, and willing to scope projects in a way that works with your vision and budget. They also have a design style and overall aesthetic sensibilities that we absolutely love.
>
> For our Airbnb, guests consistently comment on the incredible style of our rental, all thanks to the Henley design team. In our own home, where we focused on a kitchen/dining room renovation, we feel so fortunate to have worked with them and we appreciate our home so much more as a result.

**★★★★★ — Hickory+Fern Design, March 2021**

> I worked with Henley Design on a renovation project for our Vermont mountain house. The project included an addition and reworking interior space as well as selecting new furniture, fixtures and rugs. Sarah Henley and her team were tasked with helping to design the main living space (great room + dining room) as well as paint colors and numerous other details throughout the house. What I really appreciated about Sarah and her team was continually looking for ways to tie the newer parts of the house in with the older/non-renovated parts. For example, a simple paint job on kitchen cabinets, new hardware and counter stools completely changed the feel of the kitchen--bringing it more in-line with the new furniture and design of the common areas.
>
> My husband and I had spent a year planning the renovation and so had a pretty good of what we wanted. But there were a lot of points along the way where we needed a design check-in on some of our decisions....just to make sure we were on point. Sarah and her team were always available and quick to assist--giving me peace of mind.
>
> And like so many things being done during Covid, there were more than a few hiccups. From light fixtures arriving dented to ordered furniture being discontinued and never arriving--Sarah and her team went above and beyond to make things right and at their own expense (actually covering the difference in cost when the replacement item was more expensive than original selection).
>
> All in all, I really enjoyed worked with Henley Design and would absolutely work with them again! I will update with pictures once the rest of our furniture arrives.
