Solid-surface backsplashes may look simple, but getting them right takes precision.

Pros: Easier to clean, very durable, visually simple, and can match the countertop.

Cons: More expensive, heavier, takes more time, and can feel less appropriate in a historic home.

On-site templating is especially important. It accounts for walls, cabinets, outlets, and other details so everything fits properly. While many countertop installers can template and install, having someone oversee the process helps ensure the finished result matches the design intent.

In this bright Mount Airy kitchen, there’s a little bit of magic overhead. ✨

Our clients wanted to open the kitchen to the dining room while keeping it bright and open. They also wanted to feature their pottery collection and bring in Mediterranean influences to complement their Italianate home.

We kept the kitchen light and neutral, layering in blue accents, vintage-inspired details, and pattern for character. Opening the wall also gave us room for more cabinetry and a much more functional layout.

Good design anticipates what comes next. We’ve designed spaces for families with young kids, thinking ahead to how their needs will change as those kids grow.

We’ve also designed homes for couples approaching retirement, anticipating how they can age in place comfortably while enjoying the home they’ve always dreamed of. The best spaces work for your life today and adapt to what comes next, both aesthetically and functionally.

We designed this Mount Airy kitchen to create smart flow and open sightlines between the dining room, pantry, and the rear garden. Special moments along the way offer seating and display space. Take a tour with interior designer Sean and see how the spaces come together.

Today on the blog, we explore how historic tile detailing can elevate interiors.

Tile detailing uses trim, patterns, transitions, and thoughtful layouts to give tile a more architectural presence. Details such as pencil liners, borders, insets, and custom patterns can add visual interest, create focal points, and connect a renovation to the character of the home. Understanding how tile was traditionally used can help inform modern renovations while creating spaces that feel thoughtful, timeless, and authentic.

It’s and we found a perfectly preserved Mid-Century mansion right in our own backyard!

1633 Chattin Rd in Laverock is filled with 60’s mod character and unique details that are unusual, but totally perfect for this unique home.
The open living room’s spiral staircase, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wrap-around balcony are stunning. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with colorful Mid-Century tile in fun layouts. Even the kitchen is mostly original with a pink oven and dark, modern cabinetry.

How would we work with a new owner to modernize this space? With a focus on preservation, we’d keep the style and integrity of this home while rethinking kitchen layout and function. It’s possible to brighten and open up the space while maintaining a modern aesthetic. Bathrooms could be updated as-is or fully renovated with a similar look. The key here is to avoid trendy materials and make decisions that reflect the original style.

If you’re a mid-century enthusiast, contact Cole Hoffmann with Howard Hanna Real Estate to tour this groovy home, then call to start your renovation.

How do we design a space that feels interesting and exciting without becoming overwhelming? Here are a few lessons we’ve learned from designing historic homes in Northwest Philly.

1. For bold patterns, opt for lower contrast.
2. Match materials in bright, neutral colors.
3. Be restrained with focal points.
