Newton has always attracted people who prefer refined living and an easy pace. Surrounded by historic homes, top schools, and tree-lined streets, the city’s character demands more than trend-chasing decor. It asks for design that respects clean lines, supports a full life, and anticipates what’s ahead.
At Design by the Jonathans, we bring clarity and polish to the process. Our work balances restraint with creativity—never fussy, never formulaic. We listen closely, plan precisely, and deliver spaces that work hard behind the scenes while looking utterly effortless.
Jonathan clearly checked all the boxes for us and we’re so happy to work with him.

Whether your tastes lean modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, we give your aesthetic a luxe, livable edit. Great design should make it easier to be yourself. It should reflect your habits, quirks, and aspirations.
We start by getting clear on how you live now and how you want your space to work better. Do you need a more efficient morning routine? Space for entertaining that doesn’t feel like a stage set? We ask specific, sometimes unexpected questions to surface what matters most.
From there, we build the design in layers, starting with detailed 3D renderings so you can visualize and interact with your new space before anything is built. You’ll get to test ideas, provide feedback, and move forward with confidence. No guesswork, no surprises.
Once the vision is finalized, we handle the rest. Our process is built around transparency and communication. You’ll get clear timelines, proactive updates, and expert coordination with contractors and vendors, so your project keeps moving, even when your schedule doesn’t.
Our clients in Newton come to us for full-home design, kitchen remodels, and bespoke renovations that elevate daily life without disrupting it. We design spaces that respect your home’s architecture and enhance the way you live within it.
If you’re looking for an interior designer in Newton, MA who brings creativity, precision, and a deep respect for your time, you’ve found your people. Let’s talk.
Founded by Jonathan Gordon in 2014, Design by the Jonathans delivers nuanced, original design for clients with high standards and full schedules. Our Newton-area projects reflect what we’re known for: livable sophistication, clear communication, and respect for both history and innovation.
We’ve built a reputation across New England for interiors that feel personal, not prescribed. From our Framingham studio, we serve clients who want to elevate their homes without adding stress to their busy schedules.
We’re always mindful of Newton’s architectural variety—Colonials, Victorians, Tudors—and we aim to enhance those bones rather than overwrite them. We balance classic proportions with modern function to ensure your home feels timeless and lives easily.
Not at all. Many clients come to us with a rough idea or just a sense of what’s not working. Our job is to uncover the right solution, guide you through the process, and manifest your ideal space.
Full-home redesigns, kitchen and bath renovations, furnishings, and architectural styling. Whether it’s a single room or a full-scale transformation, we create spaces that feel refined, cohesive, and true to you.
The level of detail and expertise that Lana brought to the project was unparalleled, without compromising on our wants and needs for the space.
