What’s fascinating about the work of the prominent interior designer William Hodgins is that he always successfully mixes and matches furniture styles and fabrics that add notable touches to his exquisite residential interiors.
Hodgins was educated at The Parsons School of Design in New York. He later honed his skills under the direction of Sister Parish and Albert Hadley before starting his own firm in Boston in 1968. He is an award -winning designer well known for his sophisticated designs.
His mastery in creating classic, harmonious rooms comes from his ability to produce the sense of balance and order in his interiors where blending is the key. Hodgins’ signature style comes from his avoidance of the use of patterned fabrics, and instead emphasizing on rich textures, cream colors, painted furniture, garden sculptures, architectural elements, while placing great importance on light in his rooms.
House Beautiful best described his style, when it said, “His rooms speak for themselves with a whisper, not a shout.” That’s so true…

The first two photos were taken at Hodgins's own apartment in Boston. I love the Italian mirror in the dining room and the random touch of color
