Bryn Mawr

A couple with lifetime ties to the Main Line, PA, area, approached us to transform their charming Bryn Mawr oasis through a whole-home renovation. They envisioned a space tailored to their lifestyle—comfortable for everyday living, yet elevated to host gatherings with ease. The home, rich in character and architectural detail, provided a beautiful foundation. We drew inspiration from its unique features, such as the graceful curve of the arched front doorway and the original custom built-ins. These elements informed a design approach that feels fresh and contemporary while honoring the home’s heritage.

Working in thoughtful phases, we began with the main floor’s shared living spaces, the office, and the primary suite. Throughout, we prioritized a balance of form and function—introducing a warm, neutral palette layered with tactile fabrics, curated artwork, statement lighting, and tailored furnishings. Each selection was made with intention, marrying aesthetic appeal with the durability required for a growing family. While the overall palette remains calm and cohesive, we brought each room to life through the strategic use of texture, pattern, and subtle pops of color. The result is a timeless, transitional interior that feels collected and effortless—classic at its core, with refined “wow” moments that surprise and delight.
