At Form and Function Interior Design, we love bringing classic visions to life and our Greystone project in Boone is no exception. Our client desired a traditional home that feels warm and timeless, with a beautiful nod to their favorite color: blue. What makes this project truly special is how we’ve woven modern touches into the traditional fabric, creating a space that’s both rooted in history and refreshingly current.
Balancing Classic and Contemporary
While the foundation is undeniably traditional — with rich woodwork, detailed moldings, and elegant textiles — we introduced subtle modern elements that update the space without sacrificing its classic charm. Think clean-lined furniture silhouettes, streamlined lighting fixtures, and curated art that adds personality and visual interest.
Highlights of the Greystone Project’s Modern-Traditional Blend:
-
Sleek, Modern Lighting: Contemporary brass sconces and pendant lights bring warmth and shine, elevating traditional rooms with an unexpected glow.
-
Minimalist Blue Accents: Rather than overly ornate patterns, we focused on solid and textured blues, deep navy velvet chairs, soft blue linens, and abstract art — for a calm but current vibe.
-
Open, Airy Layouts: While respecting the traditional structure, we opened up key living areas for better flow and natural light, marrying function with form.
-
Mixed Materials: We paired classic wood tones with hints of brass, leather, and glass to add layers of texture and a sophisticated edge.
This project perfectly reflects our client’s love of tradition while embracing a modern aesthetic that feels fresh and inviting. The result is a home that honors the past but looks confidently to the future, a true reflection of both timeless style and contemporary living.
