About the Project
Our latest design project led us to the historically rich city of Folsom, California. Here, we were tasked with crafting an interior space that combined the region's traditional charm with the homeowners' modern sensibilities.
This project involved redesigning a vintage residential property located in the heart of the city. The challenge was twofold: retaining the home's historic charm while infusing contemporary elements and meeting the lifestyle needs of a 21st-century family.
What We Did
Upon initial assessment, we faced two primary challenges. The first was the home's layout - a compartmentalized floor plan typical of historic properties. The second was incorporating modern amenities without disturbing the original architectural elements, including original hardwood floors and vintage moldings.
We began by strategically reconfiguring the space to create a more open and fluid layout, enhancing the feeling of spaciousness while respecting the home's original architecture. Non-load-bearing walls were removed, and transitional elements were added to ensure each room flowed seamlessly into the next.
We carefully selected color schemes, textures, and furnishings that paired well with the home's original features while adding a modern edge. By balancing vintage and contemporary pieces, we maintained a sense of history while providing the comfort and convenience desired by the homeowners.
To meet the need for modern amenities, we integrated smart home technology in a discreet manner. We incorporated energy-efficient appliances in the kitchen and efficient lighting throughout the house, ensuring these elements blended seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.
The Folsom Fusion is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort, showcasing our ability to respect history while meeting contemporary needs. We tackled challenges head-on and provided solutions that upheld the integrity of the original design while offering a fresh, functional space for a modern family.
