Casagrande Studio is a Brookline interior design and design-build firm you hire when a renovation needs to be run, not just decorated. By the firm's own account, Cecilia Casagrande founded the studio in 2015 and still leads it, building out carpentry, construction-management, and fine-painting talent around the design work. The through-line across her reviews is other professionals vouching for her: builders, contractors, and real-estate developers who collaborated on projects and came away praising clear, organized communication. On Google she carries a 5.0 across 44 ratings, and her Houzz page mirrors it at 5.0. It's a consistent, multi-year pattern — reviews span 2021 through 2025 across several sites — with no negative thread surfacing anywhere. The credential wall is unusual for a small studio. HGTV named her Designer of the Year for Color and Pattern three years running, 2020 through 2022, and overall in 2022; she's REVIT certified; and her work has been picked up by Architectural Digest, Boston Globe Magazine, and Boston Magazine. One thing worth weighing before you call: much of the written praise comes from industry peers — the builders and developers she works alongside — rather than the homeowners who lived through a project start to finish. That doesn't undercut the work, but if you want a client's-eye view of budget and how a long renovation actually felt, ask her for homeowner references directly. She's the right call for a design-led renovation, historic homes especially, where you want one firm carrying the aesthetic vision and coordinating the trades rather than a designer who hands off and leaves. Confirm where your project falls in her scope and range before booking.

Eric Drysdale - Tradewind Builders As a real estate developer I see so much repetitive design on new builds and as I approached my last project, a $6+ million two family in Brookline I really wanted to have a design that stood out from the run of the mill development projects. After interviewing a few firms I was most impressed with Cecilia, of Casagrande Studio’s ideas for my project and decided to hire her. I found Cecilia extremely easy to work with, great communication, timely responses and unique design choices that really set this house apart from other developments. Each unit had 4 baths, a kitchen, pantry and wet bar that were all stunning with no repeating tile, stone or cabinet colors as well beautiful paint colors inside and out, a truly unique design! I was thrilled with the finished product and I would highly recommend Cecilia and her team to any builders looking for the wow factor on their projects!

Cecilia and her team were wonderful to work with on our recent renovation. The experience has us looking forward to more chances to team up and bring her beautiful designs to life. As a contractor, having clear, prompt, and organized communication makes all the difference — and Cecilia delivers. Casagrande Studio keeps the process fun and exciting.

We’re thrilled to offer this enthusiastic endorsement of Cecilia Casagrande. When we set out to do a major renovation of our new home, spanning multiple rooms and levels, including paint, furniture, fabrics, curtains, and a full kitchen redesign. A close friend recommended Cecilia, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, Cecilia was a joy to work with. She took the time to understand our tastes and goals, and brought a wealth of ideas that expanded our vision in ways we hadn’t imagined. She was collaborative and creative, building inspiration boards and fabric walls to help us visualize how everything could come together. She was hands-on, regularly visiting the space and joining us in selecting materials and pieces. And she was impressively responsive, coordinating contractors and resolving questions almost instantly when they came up. Cecilia brings a distinctive eye for design, but always with a deep respect for making the space feel personal and true to our style. Looking back, the moments when she nudged us toward bolder choices were exactly what made the final result so joyful and distinctive. Cecilia and her team were simply a pleasure to spend time with. We always felt confident that the outcome would be extraordinary. Her website and Instagram speak for themselves. Now that we’ve lived in the space for several months, we’re still struck by how beautiful and cohesive it feels. Every room brings joy. If you have the chance to work with Cecilia, take it, you’ll be glad you did!
