Inside a Wonderful Arts and Crafts Home with Fun Color
Some homes are beautiful. Others tell a story. This thoughtfully renovated Arts and Crafts home in Concord, Massachusetts, manages to do both. Designed by Lisa Tharp Design, the renovation celebrates the home’s architectural heritage while creating bright, inviting spaces that feel fresh, elegant, and deeply personal. Natural light, custom millwork, soft color, and carefully chosen furnishings transform this house.
The inviting library pairs soft blush furnishings with rich wood built-ins, creating a beautiful balance between classic architecture and contemporary comfort. The hand-stenciled ceiling adds subtle Arts and Crafts character while the fireplace and bookshelves make the room feel wonderfully cozy.
Stretching beneath oversized windows, this custom window seat is the perfect place to spend an afternoon with a favorite novel. Layers of patterned pillows and fresh flowers add warmth while the Roman shades frame peaceful garden views.
Every moment feels special in this Arts and Crafts home when enjoyed in this charming window seat. Soft pink textiles, fresh peonies, and a thoughtfully styled tray turn an ordinary corner into one of the home’s sweetest gathering places.
Viewed from another angle, the library showcases its impressive symmetry, extensive built-in bookcases, and beautifully detailed coffered ceiling. The blush seating softens the surrounding woodwork, creating a room that feels equally suited for entertaining or quiet evenings by the fire.
This cheerful breakfast room doubles as a family workspace thanks to a custom built-in desk and comfortable banquette seating. Soft golden walls, floral Roman shades, and mid-century furnishings keep the room feeling fresh and relaxed.
The kitchen renovation brightened the space dramatically by replacing a darker range wall with expansive windows. Creamy white cabinetry, warm brass accents, and clean-lined lighting create a timeless kitchen that’s elegant without feeling formal.
You can appreciate how traditional cabinetry, contemporary lighting, and classic black windows work together seamlessly. The generous island serves as both a workspace and gathering spot while preserving the home’s refined character.
Soft neutrals and custom millwork transform the primary bedroom into a peaceful retreat. The graceful arched alcove behind the upholstered bed adds architectural interest, while built-in cabinetry maximizes storage without disrupting the room’s calm, uncluttered feel.
Bathed in natural light, this cozy sitting area in the bedroom invites quiet moments with a favorite book. A hand-painted chinoiserie-inspired screen creates a beautiful focal point, while plush seating and flowing drapery enhance the room’s elegant, serene atmosphere.
The renovated bathroom feels fresh and timeless with its crisp white cabinetry, marble countertops, and classic hex tile flooring. Colorful framed mirrors and delicate wallpaper reflect the color of the living room and add just the right amount of personality in this space.
This Arts and Crafts home designed by Lisa Tharp Design celebrates craftsmanship and comfort. It’s no surprise that its beauty was featured in Boston Magazine.
