Kitchen & Bathroom Design

As a Boston Italian, I grew up in a busy working kitchen with my mom, grandmother and aunts making home-made everything. I truly understand that the kitchen is the heart of the home and it is my passion to make your kitchen design flawless.

 At JAS Interior Designs we offer comprehensive top-level services including full working drawings - floor plans, layouts, elevations and electrical plans so your dream kitchen can be flawlessly executed while remaining true to your project’s original concept. To ensure timelines and budgets are kept in check, our team engages in the procurement and supply chain process. We work closely with your contractor to provide project management support. Take a gander at my recent case study for examples of my work.

BEFORE & AFTER

Window Treatments + Upholstery

Window treatments are a spectacular way to add personality in your home. At JAS Interior Designs, we hand select our fabrics to provide unique and stunning custom window treatments and upholsteries in a variety of budgets.

We love the interplay of color and texture and will work with you to find just the right fabric to reflect the personality of your room. Have a special heirloom piece? Giving them them a second (or third) life is one of my favorite projects. We will provide measurements, drawings, product specifications, procurement as well as project management during the various design phases. We've established strong and trusting relationships with local workrooms and installers ensuring your finished design is elevated to a higher level.

Color Consultations- Exterior & Interiors

Let's face it, most novices believe choosing color is easy--until they've actually tried it!  We have a profound respect for color, and we understand the inherent challenges in color which inevitably lead to frustration, costly mistakes, and multiple trips to the paint store. Sun orientation, color undertones, reflectance, personal preference - and yes, perhaps a little intuition, all play critical roles.

Having studied with Maria Killam in Vancouver, Canada in 2014, Janine is a certified True Colour Expert. It is a proven effective system based on color theory and utilizes a practical approach in understanding undertones. Our studio strives for timeless designs combined with unparalleled guidance, so it's fun -- not overwhelming. Color has the ability to stretch your design budget if done systematically and has a tremendous psychological effect on how we feel. Are you ready to get started? 

Whole Home & Single Room Design

No matter the size of your project or needs, our two goals are the same: To provide a high level of value to you, and to create a harmonious cohesive design throughout your home.

We will work closely with your chosen architect or contractor utilizing a proven process- the 5 Step NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) Design Phases which include:

Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, Contract Documents and Contract Administration.

OUR 5 STEP PROCESS
 

Spatial Planning

Spatial planning considerations includes: Understanding how rooms flow from one to the other, where furniture should be grouped according to your family's activities, and where you walk throughout your home.

Beginning with Programming, our team develops an in-depth analysis of how your space is to be used. Subsequently, we create plans and scaled drawings defining the space in zones, circulation patterns, and identify the activities which will ensue. Movement in a space creates safety, efficiency and a “je ne sais quoi ” feeling of "it just feels right" and with it, an effortless joy. The space plan is then completed by adding details such as hardware, architectural elements, furniture and equipment giving consideration to focal points guiding the viewer’s eye throughout the space. This is where the storytelling takes place; and in design, the story is all about emotion!
