Victorian Home Refreshed With Bright Colors, Fun Art

Bright colors, bold patterns and playful art update this Victorian home for a new family. Still, the 2to5 Design team didn't want to stray too far from the past, so they preserved the home's crown molding and wood bannisters, as well as installed a reproduction of an original window. In turn, the home feels fresh yet full of character.

White Transitional Kitchen with Classic & Modern Touches

This Victorian home features a fully updated kitchen sprinkled with both modern and classic touches.

The large island, painted a contrast color to create a focal point, anchors the mostly white room.

Contemporary Meets Classic in this Bright White Kitchen

The owners of this Victorian home wanted to update the kitchen, baths and living spaces to reflect the family's casual lifestyle.

Victorian Master Bath with Contemporary Styling

Classic marble flooring and an antique side table blend beautifully with a freestanding soaker tub in this Victorian-meets-contemporary master bath. A cafe curtain-inspired window treatment adds privacy and casual flair. Keeping the upper part of the window bare means the homeowners are able to show off the Victorian home's original curved millwork.

White Mudroom with Modern Yellow Accents

Fun black and white floor tiles and modern art add spunk to this functional mudroom. The space was added as a spot for the family to store its coats, shoes and backpacks. Pops of bright yellow in the art and lighting stand out against the white walls, trim and ceiling. The window is a reproduction based on an original window design seen elsewhere in the Victorian home.
