The Case for Color: Laurie Gorelick Creates a Fresh Take on Cape Cod Style

In “The Case for Color,” featured in New England Home, Laurie Gorelick, founder of Laurie Gorelick Interiors, demonstrates why she is recognized as one of Cape Cod’s leading interior designers and a distinctive voice in color-driven residential design. The feature spotlights a Chatham home where Gorelick moves beyond the expected blue-and-white Cape Cod palette, instead embracing layered shades of green, vibrant patterns, and playful accents.

Gorelick describes the home as an “anti-Cape”—a fresh, personality-filled interpretation of coastal living that feels both practical and exuberant. Rich green cabinetry, colorful upholstery, patterned textiles, and collected furnishings create a cohesive palette that carries throughout the home. As Gorelick explains, the homeowners wanted “primary colors,” leading her to incorporate color throughout the furniture rather than relying on architectural elements alone.

The result reflects Gorelick’s signature color-centric approach to interior design, balancing bold hues and pattern with the warmth, comfort, and livability essential to a Cape Cod home. Through thoughtful color selection and unexpected combinations, Laurie Gorelick Interiors demonstrates how a classic New England home can feel fresh, sophisticated, and entirely personal. The Chatham project is a compelling example of Gorelick’s ability to reinterpret Cape Cod interior design through a distinctly modern and joyful lens.
