Everything Old is New Again

Perfectly placed architectural finds and antiquities integrate texture, 
timelessness, and character to modern design.

Everything old is new again with some of these fun design element finds. Check out how these unique approaches strategically pull vintage architectural pieces into modern design.

                                                 


SOPHISTICATED ECLECTIC: Two vintage chairs covered with a lively zigzag print add a great element of style and surprise to this smartly chic design.

                                                     

INDUSTRIAL: The "everything old is new again" theme begins at the entry ground floor of this Home & Office space. A reclaimed mechanical room door for the actual mechanicals of the space sets the tone for the marriage of industrial meets timeless elements of design. Reclaimed dark wood ceilings and vintage lighting is repeated in the office space. An antique desk anchors the industrial feel adding a bit of softness to the cleaner, minimal cabinetry and modern seating.
                                         

SOFT MODERN: A reclaimed architectural corbel creates a unique side table for this otherwise modern space. The corbel table and fur pillows create diverse textures and are super effective at livening up this boudoir space. 


NAUTICAL MODERN: The space featured above is from our South Padre project that Design Studio 2010 took on in 2013. This port-hole side table gives a nod to the sportsman homeowner’s world travels with a classy nautical flare.

Northwest Modernized Traditional - Round Rock

-The challenge was to fluidly incorporate favorite furnishings and new pieces into a modernized, softer traditional design.

-Rich fabrics and textures, whimsical touches, and a cohesive palette throughout the home lend sophistication and invitingly comfortable elegance to this Northwest Austin home.

-This updated traditional design delivers classic elegance for family-friendly, livable comfort.



Davenport Retreat - Austin

-The challenge was converting a tired, Tuscan-inspired home into a fresh, multi-functional design for a busy family drove the challenge for this Westlake Hills remodel.

-Focusing on the family’s diverse needs for public spaces and their desire for a serene master suite, Design Studio 2010 repurposed prime square footage to optimize seating, storage, and entertaining with elegant comfortable design.

-Transforming prime square footage, Design Studio 2010 redefined the dining space as an inviting “wine bar” with custom pieces, plush fabrics and textures to create conversational groupings for a fun and functional entertaining space.

-The master suite’s palette of rich espresso, creams, champagne, and blues in multi-textured, sculpted fabrics and finishes promise serene comfort throughout.
