The Clover House is a residential renovation in New Hope, Pennsylvania, completed by local interior design studio Rude Haus that incorporates handcrafted, upcycled, and vintage pieces throughout the space. The project transforms an existing house with new finishes, repaired architectural elements, and bespoke components, including a dining room mural and curtains sewn from upcycled silk fabric. Surfaces and furnishings are selected to introduce bright colours and textural variation that reference the surrounding countryside.
Original architectural details such as skylights and exposed structur,e were retained where possible and integrated into the updated interior. Fixtures and fittings were reused or custom-made to complement the renovated spaces, and furnishings were sourced to align with the project’s material character. Living, dining, and adjacent rooms are arranged to balance functional use with the display of upcycled and vintage elements.
