A once dark and dated residence in Riverside, CT, was transformed into a lively, family-friendly home with warmth and personality.

The renovation began in the entryway, where inconsistent marble flooring was replaced with oak to match the rest of the house. A medium-tone stain unified the floors throughout, creating a natural flow while adding harmony and warmth. Walls were coated in a customized paint color that brightened and modernized the interiors, setting a fresh foundation for the design.

Décor was layered to strike a balance between comfort and sophistication. A modern Scandinavian wool rug in washed blues, soft greens, grays, and cream both anchored and brightened the space. Textured linen pillows, woven throws, and unique finds—such as a European root chair and vintage wine-tasting tables—added character and grounded the design. Custom furniture and an artist-commissioned painting introduced personal, modern touches that made the home distinctly its own.

The result is a functional, inviting home filled with energy, warmth, and a contemporary yet timeless personality.
