Haute Design: Working in Coral Gables, how do you maintain the look\/feel of a home within the Gables vibe while making it unique as well?<\/strong><\/p>\n Cozy Salazar: The houses in Coral Gables are all special in their own way! We love working on renovations, specifically in Coral Gables, that restore the charming aspects of a home to its former glory rather than trying to make them look like new construction. Whether that be preserving an old mantle, decorative ceiling, exterior arches etc. There is so much history here and we love playing into that. If we are working on a renovation with French or Spanish architecture and influence, we try to pay homage to that in the interior and respect the intention the original owners had for the space.<\/p>\n We do this in several ways by adding millwork that correlates with the style of the home, sourcing specific wallpapers for that space, leaning into furniture and decor that feels relevant, or, when working on the exterior, adding natural stone, updating front doors and windows, redesigning the pool, and\/or investing in great landscaping. It saddens me a little to see a charming Coral Gables home renovated either too modern or in a contradicting style to its bones. Paying respect to what is already in place during a renovation is important in maintaining the \u201cCity Beautiful\u2019s\u201d rich history and charm.<\/p>\n Cozy Salazar Interiors is based and accomplishes plenty of work in the historic and charming Coral Gables area of Miami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":3793280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16574,5321,1751,27698,16898,15863,1],"tags":[27059,13349,14217,26520,30244,31266,2151,2399,16155,30243,2401,2405,450,29741,1580,13396,2511,727,1370,31465],"class_list":["post-3793273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-design","category-designer-2","category-designer-talk","category-featured-hl-home-page","category-inside_design_slide","category-interior-design","category-news","tag-aesthetic","tag-charm","tag-coral-gables","tag-cozy","tag-cozy-salazar","tag-cozy-salazar-interiors","tag-design-2","tag-haute-design","tag-haute-design-by-haute-residence","tag-haute-design-expert","tag-haute-design-network","tag-haute-living","tag-haute-living-magazine","tag-haute-living-network","tag-haute-residence","tag-historic","tag-interior-design","tag-luxury","tag-luxury-design","tag-the-city-beautiful"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cozy-FEB-1.jpg\")
