Preserving History, Embracing Modernity: KMID Redesigns Historic Delray Beach Bungalow
Delray Beach, Florida is known for its rich history and charming architecture. In a recent project that captured the essence of this historic coastal town, we at Kelly Marie Interior Design took on the challenge of renovating a classic bungalow, blending contemporary aesthetics with the charm of Old Florida architecture. The result? A harmonious fusion of history and modernity that left both the designers and the clients delighted.
The Challenge:
The Delray Beach bungalow was a treasure trove of historical details, featuring the unique characteristics that define Old Florida architecture. The client was determined to maintain these timeless elements while infusing the home with a fresh, modern vibe. Our team was confident in our ability to breathe new life into historic spaces, without sacrificing their unique character.
A Commitment to Delray Heritage
One of the distinctive features of the Delray Beach Historic District is its unwavering commitment to preserving the exterior elements of these historic homes. This dedication is not just an aesthetic choice but a conscious effort to maintain the authenticity and character of the neighborhood. Each home tells a unique story of the past, from an era where attention to detail and craftsmanship were a focal point.
Preserving History:
One of the key challenges faced by the design team was striking the delicate balance between preserving the historical integrity of the home and meeting the client's desire for a contemporary update. We embraced this challenge wholeheartedly, meticulously restoring original features such as the crown molding, vintage light fixtures, and the flooring. These elements not only added authenticity to the space but also served as a nod to the architectural heritage of Delray Beach.
In reimagining our client's bungalow, our design focus was centered on creating a welcoming living space that seamlessly blends functionality and style, catering to their passion for cooking, hosting, and entertaining visitors with thoughtful layout and aesthetic choices.
Our Goal is Client Satisfaction:
Ultimately, the success of any interior design project lies in the satisfaction of the client. In the case of the Delray Beach bungalow, it was our aim to exceed their expectations. The design was a seamless integration of historical charm with modern sophistication. The bungalow now stands as a testament to the transformative power of thoughtful interior design.
