Modernizing Traditional Spaces: Blending Old and New

Do you live in a historic home or traditional space but crave a touch of modern flair? Infusing modern elements into classical architecture creates an alluring contrast. Our designers masterfully fuse old and new styling for spaces packed with character.

When renovating a traditional interior, we thoughtfully edit and enhance to strike an artful balance. Our tailored blending of eras results in a comfortably livable, visually exciting home.

Strategies for seamlessly modernizing traditional spaces:

Streamline with neutral backgrounds.

Provide a clean slate for modern furnishings to pop against ornamental architectural details.

Mix metal finishes.

Incorporate sleek nickel or bronze lighting and hardware among worn brass and antique patinas for an organic combo.

Feature an accent wall.

Paint or wallpaper a single wall in a contemporary pattern or color to prevent overwhelming heritage details.

Repurpose the past.

Give family heirlooms and vintage flea market finds new life by refinishing or reupholstering them in modern fabrics.

Infuse art deco touches.

Incorporate geometric patterns or sleek glass and metal accents reminiscent of the 1920s and 30s when tradition met modernity.

Install discreet smart home technology.

Introduce voice-controlled lighting, music, and temperature modulation for modern connectivity that doesn’t disrupt cherished aesthetics.

Let Emberr guide your space seamlessly into the 21st century while preserving its nostalgic charm. We know just how to revive heritage homes respectfully with visionary design choices.

Bring your traditional dwelling gracefully into the future with a consultation.
