GETTING PERSONAL

At McBournie Richards, exceptional interiors tell meaningful stories—rooted in authenticity, artistry, and a deep understanding of place. For over fifteen years, Gary McBournie and Bill Richards have united their vision to create spaces that are deeply personal yet classically elegant, honoring tradition while embracing a fresh, contemporary perspective.

Specializing in layered and sophisticated environments, the firm draws on Gary’s fine arts background and painter’s eye, paired with Bill’s passion for historical context and thoughtful execution. Together, they bring a balance of artistry and discipline that defines McBournie Richards’ work.

With offices in New York and Boston and projects nationwide, McBournie Richards is widely recognized for its distinctive design approach. Their work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Veranda, House Beautiful, and Flower. Their first book, Living Color: A Designer Works Magic with Traditional Interiors (2013), celebrated their early collaborations. Their second monograph, due in Spring 2027, will highlight recent projects and the continuing evolution of their creative vision.

Through McBournie Richards Home, their curated collection of coastal-inspired fabrics and wallpapers, they extend their design ethos beyond interiors, offering clients a way to experience their aesthetic in fresh, lasting ways.

Whether restoring a historic residence or designing a coastal retreat, their interiors reflect a vision that is deeply personal, classically elegant, and timeless in spirit.
