Westland Manor – Worcester

This 1894 home is rooted in preservation, honoring its original architectural details while thoughtfully layering a mix of antique finds and carefully selected new pieces. The goal was never perfection, but comfort and character. Nothing feels too precious or off-limits; instead, each space feels welcoming, collected over time, and truly lived in.

The living room sits just across from the home’s moody parlor, offering a light-filled counterpoint with an effortlessly elegant palette. Plentiful seating allows the room to comfortably host guests while still feeling intimate for everyday moments. Landscape oil paintings and displays of antique China line the walls, adding warmth, history, and a sense of quiet storytelling.

In contrast, the parlor has been reimagined as a cozy, layered retreat—a place to gather, kick back, and enjoy one another’s company. Wrapped in deep blue grasscloth walls and grounded by plush velvet seating, the space embraces rich color, tactile textures, and bold pattern play. A curated mix of art and furnishings brings depth and personality, allowing the room to truly shine.

The dining room continues the narrative, layering vibrant blues and reds with traditional antiques accented by contemporary pieces. It’s a seamless blend of then and now, a space where old and new coexist beautifully, and where the story of the home continues to unfold.
