Relocating to a new home is an exciting opportunity to create a space that truly reflects your style and lifestyle. As a Main Line interior designer, I had the pleasure of working with this family on their previous Downingtown residence. When they moved to a newly constructed home in Devon, they sought my expertise again to blend cherished pieces with fresh design elements, ensuring a seamless, elegant transition.
A Main Line Interior Designer’s Vision for the New Home
New construction offers a blank slate, but it also presents an overwhelming number of decisions. My role was to guide my clients through this process, ensuring that every selection aligned with their aesthetic and functional needs. We began with foundational elements—choosing furnishings, layouts, and key design pieces—before finalizing wall and woodwork paint colors, cabinetry finishes, and other architectural details to create a timeless backdrop.
Blending Old & New
One of the key challenges was integrating beloved pieces from their previous home into this new space:
- Curated furniture & accents from their previous home
- Selected new pieces to enhance their evolving aesthetic
- Balanced old & new for a seamless, personalized feel
This balance between old and new created a sense of continuity, making their Devon home feel both fresh and familiar.
Finishing Touches that Elevate Any Space
Beyond foundational selections, we layered in details that added warmth and personality. From elegant hardware choices to custom window treatments, area rugs, and thoughtfully selected furnishings, every element contributed to transforming this house into a refined yet inviting home.
As we layered in the final details—from elegant hardware to custom window treatments and luxurious textiles—the space truly came to life. As my client shared,
Magda had a wonderful array of sources for fabric and some unique ideas. Our room is beautiful, and we love it!
The Result: A Sophisticated Yet Livable Home
By combining timeless finishes, meaningful existing pieces, and carefully curated new elements, we achieved a polished, cohesive look that truly reflects my clients’ vision. Their Devon home now embodies sophistication, functionality, and personal style.
