DISTINCTIVE VISION FOR TIMELESS LIVING

A partnership shaped by fine arts, history, and a shared dedication to thoughtful, timeless design.

For more than fifteen years, Gary McBournie and Bill Richards have shaped interiors grounded in artistry, history, and a deep sense of place. Their partnership began long before the firm had a name—built on shared values, creative resonance, and a mutual respect for each other’s strengths.

In 2025, they formally united under McBournie Richards, creating a single home for their evolving body of work across interior design, textiles, publishing, and cultural collaborations.

Gary brings a painter’s eye and intuitive command of color, composition, and storytelling.

Bill brings a deep appreciation for architectural history and the narratives that make a home feel truly lived in.

Together, they create spaces that are layered, personal, and timeless—interiors that feel both refined and warmly human. Their work reflects a signature dual perspective: fine-art sensitivity paired with historical integrity.

Beyond their interiors, Gary and Bill are known for the way they live—welcoming friends, clients, and collaborators into their world. From summer gatherings on Nantucket to holiday dinners, travel, and cultural events, they bring a spirit of hospitality and thoughtful living to everything they do.

These moments reflect the heart of their work: a belief that beautiful homes are meant to be lived in, shared, and celebrated.

Their forthcoming book, arriving Spring 2028, offers an intimate look at recent projects and the continued evolution of their creative partnership—a deeper exploration into the artistry and stories behind McBournie Richards.
