As the autumn light shifts, we find ourselves drawn to palettes of quiet depth – think rich chocolate, deep wood, muted blues, and sun-baked neutrals. Color is never aesthetics alone, it is a touch and feel as the season transforms. The weight of custom dark wood millwork, the tactility of metals, and unexpected contoured edges of plush fabrics all invite you to pause, breathe out, and take in life as it comes.

What began as a hand sketch with a television positioned above a fireplace as the focus point became something much more meaningful: An installation space for beautiful art. Flanked by functional display shelving and discreet concealed storage, the architecture quietly supported the centerpiece. With guidance from Planeta Design Group’s Art Advisory, the client’s John Chamberlain became the focal point.

Most successful interiors evolve as a project progresses. Design is rarely a straight line. Ideas evolve. Discoveries are made. Perspectives shift. We value working collaboratively with clients to create a space that was perhaps never considered or thought possible at first, but in the end feels personal, meaningful, and distinctly theirs.

When tapped to renovate an 1883 Peabody & Stearns Shingle Style residence nestled in Brookline, the Planeta team worked with the homeowners and Woodmeister Master Builders to renovate the home in a way that honored its history and that of the unique urban-suburban locale, while modernizing for today’s needs.

“We’re taking historical elements and using them in a way that’s unique,” Patrick Planeta noted in coverage of the project in Boston Magazine.

From restoring antique paneling, adding elements inspired by the people and places of one of the oldest suburban enclaves in the country, and creating new and handcrafted materials, past and present were brought together for a beautiful result.

The art of collecting — Planeta Design Group Amazing interior design for a luxury condominium in one of Boston’s finest hotels, this contemporary design embraced the owner’s expansive fine art collection with beautiful lighting design and natural light allowing tasteful furniture and finishes to blend seamlessly into the background.

Extending the warmest of congratulations to the 2026 5 Under 40 Award winners! The honor holds special meaning for the Planeta Design Group team: Both principal Patrick Planeta and director Cory Gans are past winners.

Even more special, each of the winning rugs were produced, and will be available for auction Sept. 17 to support School of Leadership, Afghanistan at a ceremony celebrating the recipients.

We both have fond memories of the experience, from our inspiration for our designs, witnessing the process of them coming together, embracing the finished product, and being a part of something larger than ourselves. Well-deserved congratulations to all!

As the summer draws to a close, so shall we. This month we conclude our time in the garden and invite you to come closer, grab a drink and a seat, take a rest in some of our favorite spots. Thanks for coming along with us in our garden!

Nestled within 147 acres of rolling hills in Western Massachusetts, this private family estate is a celebration of the region’s rich artistic and musical heritage. Conceived as a retreat with sanctuaries for creative expression, the property reflects a deep appreciation for the handmade and the enduring beauty of thoughtful design.

At its heart stands a two-story art and pottery studio, complete with a professional-grade kiln and pottery wheel – a dedicated destination for making and inspiration. Every detail was considered to support the owner’s creative process, with generous work surfaces, specialized storage, and flexible spaces for painting, pottery, and exploration.

Expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light while framing sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, creating an ever-changing backdrop for artistic work. The result is an intimate yet refined atelier where art, nature, and craftsmanship exist in perfect harmony alongside technical expertise.

Come inside this property in Boston’s Beacon Hill, a project that is just kicking off. It focuses on preserving and honoring the existing structure and integrity of this neighborhood of row houses, while making it livable for a young family.

Located in an historic section seeped in history, this dictates how updates can be made coupled with a desire to preserve handcrafted details. When brought into projects such as these, we feel pride and inspiration, rather than limitation, in what we recommend as a renovation path.

This project will balance family needs, tight city confines, and respect for the neighbors. The trust that these groups give to us in historic renovations is a treasure. Stay tuned as we progress on this build.
