Services
Interior Design
Christopher Boutlier Interiors provides full-service interior design for private residences and workspaces. Christopher Boutlier works closely with clients to shape interiors around their lifestyles, preferences, and the character of each property. The firm oversees spatial planning, architectural coordination, furniture selection, finishes, lighting, textiles, custom elements, and final styling, creating an integrated result from initial concept through installation.
The studio approaches each project with particular attention to proportion, circulation, and sightlines. Architectural elements and furnishings are placed in measured relationship to one another, allowing rooms to feel composed, functional, and personal rather than overly decorated. The resulting interiors combine modern restraint with warmth, comfort, and enduring materials.

Art Curation
Christopher Boutlier Interiors provides art curation as an integral part of its design process. The firm advises on the selection, placement, and relationship of art within an interior, considering scale, architecture, color, light, and the client’s existing collection or collecting interests. Art and objects are chosen and positioned to deepen a room’s visual rhythm and to create a home that feels distinctive to its owner.
