EDINA COLONIAL INTERIORS 

EDINA, MINNESOTA

Architecture and Interior Design meet in this classic Edina home. The reimagined sunroom  seamlessly blends old and new with a vibrant color palette of old Hollywood glamour meets Mid-Century Modern. This addition  was designed to function as a home office by day and a grown-up hang-out in the evening. The architectural paneling and trim reference the traditional elegance of the home while painted wood ceilings create a casual porch-like feel. Bold and dramatic pink and red elements are complemented by calming blue-green walls. Upstairs, the creative use of color and materials extends to the primary suite remodeling where blue tones and marble create a calming retreat.

OF NOTE
  • A small-scale sofa becomes the focal point with its saturated color and fresh pillows. Durable rug anchors the seating space bringing the color palette together.
  • Existing chairs are refreshed with pillows that emphasize a connection to nature. Glamorous gold light fixtures and classic art above an antique bar create warmth.
  • An existing bookshelf was repainted to highlight the homeowner’s eclectic mix of books and accessories acquired over the years from antique stores and online auctions.
  • All new windows and doors orient the room toward the back patio and painted wood ceilings convey the impression of a traditional sunporch.
