Creating Spaces
Tailored for
Feel + Function
New Hampshire Interior Designers
The Studio Sage Ethos
We design curated spaces for the curious, creative, and adventurous who value feel and function equally. Those who ask how their home can both work for them and bring them joy—and don’t let outdated rules and trends dictate their design choices.
You want to infuse your personal flair, from items collected on your travels to family heirlooms to your favorite colors and materials. You believe in possibilities and recognize there is ease in trusting the process.
We blend the modern with the antique, the eclectic with the harmonious, and the whimsical with the sophisticated. Rather than thinking of limitations, we first ask, Why NOT? Simultaneously, we handle the complex and practical with creative solutions.
Our purpose is to design an elevated space where your family can live, rest, work, and play, a home that illustrates your story throughout.
“Great design should feel like a story unfolding—layered, personal, and a little unexpected.”
-AMANDA RAYMOND, OWNER & PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

The Thread Between the Design Intent & Built Environment
Studio Sage Interiors is a boutique interior design firm nestled near the shores of Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire. We specialize in designing unexpected, one-of-a-kind interiors through bold creativity to deliver warm and inviting spaces that reflect each client’s personal aesthetic.
After nearly a decade of building her career in every aspect of the industry, Owner and Principal Designer Amanda Raymond purchased Studio Sage in 2017. Since then, the business has evolved significantly to offer full-service interior design. We bring a youthful, approachable style to every project, led by a combination of instincts and experience to guide us toward creating meaningful functionality for each client.
Our studio has established partnerships with local builders, architects, and tradespeople to be an integral part of the home renovation and construction process. As such, we successfully project-manage the interior, from individual room remodels to entire home renovations to new builds. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach to projects, helping our clients discover, develop, and execute their own unique style.
So, are you ready to streamline decision-making and stop stressing about managing your project team—and let your space tell your story?
