Our Approach

Design that tells
your story.

At Colonial by Caitlyn, we believe the most beautiful spaces aren't showrooms — they're homes that hold memories, welcome guests, and reflect the warmth of the people who live in them. Every project begins with listening.

We specialize in creating interiors that balance timeless elegance with genuine livability. Classic architecture, considered antiques, layered textiles, and curated furnishings come together to create rooms that feel complete — not decorated.

Timeless over Trendy

We select pieces that endure beyond seasonal cycles — furniture and finishes that age gracefully and gain meaning over time.

Comfort as Luxury

True elegance invites you to sit down, linger, and feel at home. We never sacrifice warmth for aesthetics.

Deeply Personal

We take on a limited number of projects each year to give every client the attention their home deserves.

The Experience

What working with us
looks like.

We've designed a process that is transparent, unhurried, and deeply collaborative — because your home deserves thoughtful attention at every stage.

01

Discovery

We begin with a conversation — about how you live, what you love, and what your home needs to become. No questionnaires. Just listening.

02

Concept

We present curated concept boards with materials, furnishings, and spatial plans — refined through two rounds of collaboration until the vision feels exactly right.

03

Procurement

We handle all sourcing, ordering, and coordination — leveraging our exclusive trade relationships to find pieces that simply aren't available on the open market.

04

The Reveal

Installation day is our favorite. We arrive before your furniture, stay through final styling, and don't leave until every last detail is exactly as envisioned.

Meet Caitlyn

Design rooted in how
people actually live.

I'm Caitlyn — a designer, mother, and lover of rooms that feel genuinely inhabited. I started Colonial by Caitlyn because I believe that the most beautiful homes aren't the ones that look perfect in photos — they're the ones that feel right the moment you walk through the door.

My approach draws on classic American and European traditions — layered textiles, aged woods, handcrafted ceramics, and quality upholstery — filtered through a modern lens that never sacrifices comfort for appearance.

About Caitlyn

I’ve been drawn to design for as long as I can remember. Fabric, color, texture, and the way spaces make us feel. I graduated from the Boston Fashion School of Design and spent over five years working in the fashion industry before my path led me into the yoga world, where I’ve been teaching and training for the past 16 years. This career has allowed me to travel the world, deeply influencing my design approach and my appreciation for enduring craftsmanship, layered materials, and timeless antiques.

As a mother of three, I believe design should support the life happening inside a home. My work is rooted in creating calm, cohesive spaces that honor classic New England architecture while feeling warm, livable, and collected over time. I specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodels and furnishing homes that blend classic style with modern comfort.
