A Thoughtful Renovation Rooted in History & Personality
​This 18-foot-wide Brooklyn townhouse in Crown Heights underwent a full renovation, blending modern functionality with the timeless charm of its century-old architecture. At Kananshree Interior Design, we focused on preserving original details while strategically updating the space to enhance light, flow, and everyday usability—all while ensuring the home reflected the owners' personalities and heritage.
​
The kitchen remodel was a key transformation. Beyond introducing all-new cabinetry and high-end appliances, we reimagined the layout to maximize light and air, incorporating a large window to brighten the space. A carefully curated material palette of cement tiles, custom gray cabinets, and a handmade clay tile backsplash was selected to balance charm and functionality, reinforcing the home’s warm, inviting aesthetic.
To create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, we installed French doors in the dining room, opening to the backyard for expanded entertaining space. A clever reconfiguration of the floor plan allowed us to incorporate a powder room and a washer-dryer combo, adding modern convenience without disrupting the townhouse’s architectural integrity. The design vision extended to the master bathroom, where a rich color palette of gold, gray, and blue created an atmosphere of understated elegance and timeless appeal.
​
Throughout the project, we combined thoughtful renovation planning, expert material selection, and strategic design enhancements to bring this townhouse into the present while respecting its storied past. The result is a home that feels elegant yet effortless, refined yet welcoming—an authentic reflection of the people who live in it.
