It is very important to me that a home have an identity based upon the architecture. I see so many people that ignore the roots of a home and really mask it's beauty. If you have a Victorian house you want fussy details and colorful paint schemes. If you own a contemporary you need to keep the lines clean a simple and do large bold yet simple statements. This also goes for interior design. If you have a 4 bedroom center hall colonial don't fill it with contemporary furniture it will look terrible. I believe people need to know what their design style is before the purchase a home. If your taste is for country French you can look for that style house. If you can't afford a country french house a ranch home really can work well to become country French. If you like modern and cant afford a new home. A 1960's split level and be very cool and modern with the right colors and furniture. It's all about respecting the roots of a home and honoring what it is . Recently I have been working on a contemporary that the previous owners tried to make look ornate Italian/ Victorian. It just did not work with the house or the lot. I recently changed out the Victorian front door to a contemporary door with bold but simple lines. The house sang. It is so right now. Please take a good look at your house and honor its roots. You will be sure that the outcome with be perfect if you respect its history.
