I have some exciting news to share! We are opening a new office, design studio, and retail shop in Natick Center, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. We’ve been busy building out the space and are hoping to open our doors in December!
The new space will be home to the Kate Eckstein Design team, a design studio filled with fabrics, wallpapers, and all the materials that go into creating beautiful interiors, and The Brass Key, our brand-new retail shop! The shop will be filled with home accessories, gifts, furniture, lighting, and some really wonderful vintage finds.
I’ve always loved the idea of a collected home, one that brings together old and new pieces, interesting textures, and things that have a little history or personal meaning. It’s exactly the feeling I want to bring to The Brass Key, and it’s also the inspiration behind this month’s collection.
VINTAGE-INSPIRED CERAMICS
A beautiful ceramic vase or vessel can bring so much personality to a room. I love mixing older pieces with newer finds, especially when they have interesting shapes, unique glazes, or a little imperfection that makes them feel collected over time.
ART WITH CHARACTER
Artwork is one of my favorite ways to make a home feel personal. A small landscape, vintage still life, or interesting framed print can add color and charm to a bookshelf, kitchen counter, or gallery wall without feeling overly planned.
NATURAL MATERIALS & TEXTURES
Wood, marble, and other natural materials bring warmth and balance to a collected space. A decorative bowl, carved wooden tray, or marble accent works beautifully alongside colorful fabrics, patterned accessories, and vintage finds.
LIGHTING WITH PERSONALITY
Lighting is a great place to add something unexpected. A ceramic lamp, patterned shade, or vintage-inspired sconce can bring character to a room while making it feel warm and inviting.
LITTLE THINGS THAT TELL A STORY
Some of the best pieces in a home are the ones that don’t necessarily match anything else. A favorite book, a decorative object picked up while traveling, or a vintage find with a little history can make a space feel more interesting and uniquely yours.
ANOTHER EXCITING UPDATE: OUR NEW WEBSITE!
Along with our new space, we’ve also just launched this brand-new Kate Eckstein Design website! I’m so excited to share it with you finally, and I hope you’ll take a look around to explore our projects, learn more about our services, and see what we’ve been working on.
COMING SOON: THE BRASS KEY
The Brass Key is really an extension of everything I love about interior design: mixing styles, finding special pieces, and creating spaces that feel personal and lived in. I’m looking forward to sharing more as we finish the buildout and get ready for our anticipated December opening in Natick Center.
A collected home doesn’t happen all at once, and that’s what makes it special. It’s the combination of meaningful pieces, beautiful finds, and thoughtful details that make a space feel like yours.
I’m so excited for this next chapter of Kate Eckstein Design and can’t wait to welcome you into our new space. Stay tuned for more updates and details about The Brass Key’s opening!
STAY TUNED FOR OUR GRAND OPENING!
