Insides Studio Renovates 19th-Century Maine Home Around Heirlooms

Insides Studio transformed a 19th-century home in Maine, expanding a kitchen refresh into a full-house renovation that preserved original quirks and integrated the family's inherited treasures. The project, led by the studio's designers, focused on blending historical charm with modern functionality, using heirlooms as design anchors. The home's original features, such as exposed beams and wide-plank floors, were retained and highlighted. The renovation included updates to the kitchen, living spaces, and bedrooms, with custom cabinetry and fixtures that echo the house's past. The family's collection of antiques and art pieces were strategically placed to create a cohesive narrative throughout the home. The project was completed in 2024, with the studio emphasizing a collaborative process with the homeowners to ensure the space reflected their history and lifestyle.
