Cambridge Home

Family Home by Elms Interior Design in Cambridge, MA

This historic 1920s two-family home was reimagined as a spacious single-family residence for a family of five through a transformative renovation. To unlock the home’s full potential, the structure was lifted to create a new foundation, expanding square footage and increasing basement ceiling heights. Inside, contemporary and classic elements blend seamlessly within a refined neutral palette, while generous proportions and steel-and-glass windows invite abundant natural light. A high-gloss cactus green front door opens to an ethereal foyer wrapped in Venetian plaster and anchored by a sculptural, hand-carved staircase with Parisian flair. Throughout the home, mixed-media lighting, patterned wallcoverings, and curated modern art add personality and movement. Thoughtful transitions between spaces enhance openness and flow, creating a light-filled home designed for connection, comfort, and modern family living.
