When longtime homeowners were ready to embrace condo living, they turned to designer Alexis Koehler Interiors to create a home that honored their past while supporting the way they live today. Alexis created a timeless home rich with character by layering heirloom furnishings and vintage finds to bring warmth and history to a newer space. Photographed by Niamh Barry the home is a thoughtful reflection of how meaningful design can bridge one chapter of life to the next.

From Alexis Koehler Interiors… Designed for a couple entering a new chapter, this condo was thoughtfully reimagined to reflect the way they live today. The goal was never to start over, but to build on what was already there, bringing warmth, character, and a renewed sense of home to a space they had loved for years. An intentional mix of timeless materials, layered textures, patterns, heirloom pieces, vintage finds, and custom furnishings created a home that felt collected rather than decorated.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was helping my clients create a home that carried the warmth and familiarity of the house where they had raised their family while embracing this new chapter of life. Although their condo offered generous space, it lacked the character and sense of history they had loved in their previous home. Our goal was to create that feeling from the ground up.

They are incredibly active grandparents, spending weekends driving to games, cheering from the sidelines, and making memories with their growing family. They wanted a home that felt calm, comfortable, and welcoming, a place to return to at the end of a full day.

One story stayed with me throughout the design process. They often spoke about the wallpaper in their family home and how much joy it had brought them over the years. That conversation inspired us to introduce beautiful patterned wallpapers throughout three rooms in the condo. Seeing how excited they were to welcome that familiar sense of warmth and personality into their new home was one of the most meaningful moments of the project.
