FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MARK HADDAD, president of Interiology Design Co., a full-service interior design studio in Watertown, Massachusetts, repeat customers are the best advertisement for the business. Recently, Haddad and his team completed a kitchen design project for returning clients whose home, a 1940s Cape in a suburb of Boston, had been updated several times over the years. To suit the needs of their growing family, the owners had previously worked with Interiology on a kitchen makeover and a major addition and remodel. “I first started working with this client when the house was a very small

Cape. It was tiny, but the location is unbeatable,” says Haddad. Now, seeking a larger kitchen with all the amenities they craved, the family was considering moving into a different house. Fortunately, the Interiology team was able to devise a plan to reimagine their existing space. Haddad suggested reorganizing the layout of the rooms to create an expanded kitchen with space for new appliances. His solution transformed a spacious yet underutilized deck into a new family room and moved the kitchen into the existing family gathering space at the center of the home. The clients were thrilled with the results.
