Verdant Vibe

A Modern Color Story

A bold reimagining of an Austin bungalow.

The Challenge
This charming Austin bungalow had no shortage of character—but its layout lacked modern function. With only one bathroom and limited connection to the outdoors, the home wasn’t supporting the rhythm of daily life. The client sought a more intentional flow, smarter storage, and a joyful palette that felt personal yet refined.

The DOMICILIO Solution
We restructured the main living spaces with a holistic lens, addressing the family’s daily transitions while honoring the home's soul. A new screened-in porch became an airy indoor-outdoor retreat, extending the home’s footprint and inviting natural light deeper into the interior.

Inside, we transformed an underutilized niche into a multi-functional built-in: a cozy dining banquette, hidden storage, a dedicated bar, and integrated bookshelves. Every inch was designed to work hard and feel joyful.

A punchy green—selected for its grounding energy—anchors the space and sets the tone for the home’s refreshed personality. A newly added powder room, infused with graphic wallpaper and vintage-inspired lighting, became a jewel box of expression.

The Result
A compact bungalow, completely reimagined. The reworked layout, bold color story, and custom millwork elevate this home into a vibrant, multifunctional sanctuary that balances historic charm with daily livability.

Design and project management for this Austin, TX residence were completed while the principal designer was with Flux Collaborative.
