Reimagining Boston’s Colonial Homes for Modern Living

The Greater Boston is home to many stunning Colonial-style properties. Many of which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries and can be traced back to founding days of the city and its link to Puritan settlers. While rich in heritage, Colonial-period houses often come with inherent drawbacks:

Symmetrical exteriors with central entrances

Steeply pitched roofs and traditional wood siding

Small, compartmentalized rooms, which result in a lot of space taken up by walls

Narrow hallways and low ceilings

Limited storage rooms

How to Get Started – Ideas for Colonial Renovations

Character-Preserving Kitchen Upgrades

Often fitted with farmhouse-style sinks, antique brass fixtures and a clean layout the kitchen is often one of the interior design highlights of a Colonial home. Popular enhancements are adding modern lighting, upgrading the wiring and installing new hardwood flooring.

Opening up Living Spaces

When it comes to removing walls its important to be selective. The goal is to create more opening living spaces, while not entirely compromising all original room transitions. In some cases it may also be required to erect reinforcements to support the structural integrity of a building.

Bedroom and Bathroom Modernization

Creating ensuite bathrooms with vintage tile, clawfoot tubs and Colonial typical colors such as navy blue tones, soft creams, and deep reds help preserve the original look and feel while modern features such as heated floors and walk-in closets meet modern day homeowners' needs.

Incorporating Modern Lighting

The typical multi-room layout of Colonial homes often limits the amount of natural lighting. While joining adjacent rooms is one strategy to overcome this limitation, adding more modern yet colonial-style designed lighting in wrought iron, aged brass, or tin is another popular solution.
