Despite being drenched in dark colors, this 1930s remodeled home feels soft and livable – proof that a bolder scheme can still work with a charming country style

Dining room with floral blue wallpaper, blue painted windows and door frame, wood dining table and chairs, pendnat light and large vase with flowers.

Located in the village of Irvington, New York, is a quaint 1930s family home filled with bags of country charm. Lovingly redesigned yet still sympathetic to its historic status, the designers incorporated as many vintage touches as possible, from whimsical floral wallpapers to antique lighting. The result is a colonial-style home that perfectly balances the past with the present.

Designed by the interior design studio White Arrow, the Irvington property teaches us a lesson in many things, from seamless storage to balancing the old with the new; it's not hard to pinpoint its many virtues. However, its ultra-chic color palette and heritage prints are what truly bring this home to life.
