When it comes to renovating Colonial homes, it's key to strike a balance between preserving their original charm and making them more suitable environments to modern standards. That often entails making entrance areas and stairwells more accessible, upgrading bathrooms and bedrooms and simplifying the overall building layout.
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.
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.
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.
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.
