Interior designer Timothy Summers Bailey transformed a 1990s Solebury home into his dream house with an art-filled, West Coast-inspired makeover, writes Emily Goulet for the Philadelphia Magazine.

The home is situated on a lovely 15-acre lot, offering unmatched privacy that drew Bailey and his husband to the property.

The home, which was a dated disaster when they purchased it, now stands as a modern, light-filled oasis.

“It was a mess, horribly laid out, with six spiral staircases,” said Bailey. “I started with a relaxed, transitional style with some West Coast and mid-century modern influences.”

Much of the residence features creamy off-white tones. This provides a neutral backdrop for the vast art collection the couple has accumulated. Bailey added splashes of high-shine glamour with brass, luxe velvets, and moody drama. This is all showcased in the study, cloaked floor to ceiling in deep navy.

“There’s a little bit of a bohemian feel to the furnishings,” he said. “It’s an eclectic mix.”

The dining room features standout pieces like Milo Baughman chairs, adding mid-century modern style. Meanwhile, the kitchen showcases a mix of textures and materials, from a Venetian plaster range hood to a stained white oak island. Bailey founded Solebury Design in 2014.
