WE ARE REIDER + CO
Our mission is to deliver feelings of connectedness and delight to worldly homeowners by creating unexpected and always original destination design experiences in a soft modern aesthetic. Our services—spanning interior design, interior architecture, and space planning—are personalized to your family’s needs and seamlessly executed to the last daring detail.
/ Our VISIONARY Journey
Rachel Reider founded her Boston-based interior design firm in 2006 with the ambition of using global influences to push the boundaries of modern design.
Though modern style wasn’t prevalent in New England then, Rachel Reider Interiors steadily gained eminence and awards by creating clean-lined spaces that were layered, warm, and inviting.
With that reputation, we caught the eye of our first hotel client, who wanted to give their guests a comfortable feeling of home.
Back then, the boutique hotel industry didn’t exist–there wasn’t a playbook for a mid-priced hotel aimed at design-conscious travelers. We took that first project and went on to design 22 more original and award-winning hotels, setting the pace in the Northeast for both modern interior design and boutique hotel development.
What we couldn’t have anticipated is how our experiences in both high-end residential and hotel design have substantially strengthened the quality of the other.
Applying our knowledge across both categories results in new home design that elevates your experience of life, making each day a little more wonderful than you expected.
We are now called Reider + Co, an acknowledgment of the team size and skill level required to manage expansive new build homes and site-specific hotels. From start to finish, you receive the care and attention of your dedicated team.
We look forward to meeting you.
Meet the
TEAM
The pandemic changed how we all live in our homes. We see our clients launching ambitious home projects, purposefully reassessing their families’ long-term needs. At the same time, continuing supply chain issues necessitate expert project oversight.
In response, I have built a best-in-class team to meet your future design needs. I lead the creative charge for the duration of your project. Your home design is then perfected by your dedicated team of specialists in operations, project management, and procurement. We handle everything, so you can focus on creating new family memories.
