The door on the left leads to the toilet room and the one on the right leads to a closet. Both spaces were remodeled as part of the project.
The homeowners loved the look of a slightly rugged natural stone floor. Because they also wanted low maintenance, the designer steered them toward porcelain. “As someone with a trained eye, I can usually tell the difference between natural stone and porcelain, but in this case I really can’t,” she says. “We used a wide range of color in the tiles, and they have a texture to them. There are even little faux chips in them. Also, the texture makes it slip-resistant.” Bula had the tiles laid in a classic herringbone pattern.
The wall paint, Etiquette by Benjamin Moore, is a shade Bula tested in her own home. “Before I used it, I did a bunch of blind paint color tests and I chose this color every time,” she says. “It’s a really nice warm neutral that does not lean too beige. And it looks so nice next to white trim.” The white paint is Benjamin Moore’s Simply White.

Homes constructed by the postwar developer Joseph Eichler are coveted for many of the features that appealed to families in the 1950s and ’60s, including their modern style, indoor-outdoor flow and large expanses of glass. But other common aspects of the homes, including poor energy efficiency, closed-off kitchens and small square footage, aren’t very conducive to contemporary multigenerational living.
So after a family with a young daughter and twins on the way purchased one such home in Palo Alto, California, it set out to upgrade the home’s function and finishes and to add a grandparents suite. The homeowners hired Klopf Architecture, which is renowned for its sensitive Eichler remodels, to get the job done — and to ensure that the home’s architectural integrity and distinctive character were preserved in the process.

When the homeowners of this split-level Victorian home first contacted interior designer Amy Hunt, they were struggling to know how to make their new place feel like home. They needed improved storage and comfortable furnishings and decor that would create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. “There were no wardrobes, no cupboards and just lots of hooks, so it really did need rethinking,” Hunt says. Aside from addressing the couple’s practical needs, Hunt, who uses Houzz Pro business software, introduced dark color and texture, both to warm up the home and to make the narrow spaces look bigger.

A Washington, D.C., family of four asked designer Sara Swabb of Storie Collective to update its 1936 Tudor-style home in a way that honored the home’s roots while bringing it into the modern era. In the entry, Swabb, who uses Houzz Pro business software, opened things up by widening doorways to keep sightlines clear to the kitchen and dining areas and allow natural light to be shared between the rooms.
In the kitchen, a warm green cabinet color, an arched range alcove and handmade terra-cotta tile flooring in a herringbone pattern create a fresh style that nods to the home’s past. A zellige tile accent wall spans the room, helping visually connect the main cooking area to a nearby zone containing a paneled fridge, a secondary sink and a built-in coffee machine. Textured wallpaper and patterned draperies energize the dining room, and midcentury modern furnishings perk up the living room.
