You're Invited: Sterling & Maple Launches Monthly Design Events This August

A creative gathering space for design lovers, homeowners, and community members alike

We’re thrilled to announce something truly special for our community. Starting this August, Sterling & Maple, in collaboration with Joshua Allen Design, will host a new series of monthly design-centered events—hands-on evenings of creativity, education, and inspiration, all held in our thoughtfully curated Work Room at 153 Clinton Road, Sterling, MA.

These events are more than workshops—they're intimate gatherings designed to spark imagination, build confidence, and offer a one-of-a-kind experience for homeowners, contractors, design enthusiasts, and anyone looking to elevate their space with intention.

The Sterling & Maple Work Room: More Than Just a Store

Our Work Room blends retail, design, and community into a space that feels both inspiring and personal. Here, every shelf tells a story, every swatch sparks an idea, and every guest becomes part of a larger creative conversation.

With guidance and insight from the talented team at Joshua Allen Design, each event is designed to be immersive, insightful, and refreshingly fun—an evening where you can sip, snip, share, and dream alongside other design-minded individuals.
