DARIEN COLONIAL

Dominique Michelle Vidal updated this Colonial home in Darien, Connecticut, with a renovation and furnishing plan developed around a three-month timeline. The design introduced contemporary details while retaining the home’s traditional character.

Existing hardwood floors were sanded and refinished, and new hardwood flooring was added to the primary bedroom. A coordinated paint palette brought depth and warmth to the rooms. The original stone fireplace was refaced in travertine and plaster, creating a more streamlined focal point.

New lighting fixtures and furnishings completed the interiors. Contemporary furniture and finishes complement the Colonial architecture, bringing the homeowners’ tastes into the design through a consistent approach to color, materials and furnishing selections.
