Delancey

Located in the neighborhood’s Headhouse Square section, this pre-Revolutionary War era home needed a blend of modern features while maintaining the charm of the space. We conceptualized the design in thirds, allowing us to take advantage of the generous space while giving it a livable, welcoming vibe. Instead of one large seating area, we created two intimate conversation settings. One of these includes a pair of custom gray leather accent chairs in front of the reimagined fireplace. A new stone surround and hearth pair with a soft, custom gray paint for the beautifully detailed mantle. Our client’s prized, framed historical documents and maps (including the home’s original deed from the 1750s!) bring tradition and modern flair together. The second conversation area centers the space with another sofa and two charming swivel chairs. The wide channeled bench that sits between the two groupings offers a versatile seating option for guests.

The space is large enough to comfortably allow for a defined dining area. Here, we kept the clients’ dining table and chairs but added a sideboard and positioned their new Frame television above it, which displays a variety of artwork when not in use. The placement also means that it can be watched comfortably from nearly every seat in the space. Finally, matching chandeliers define the boundaries of the separate areas while tying the room together as a whole.
