“Modern Heritage means, for me, preserving traditions while living my own modern lifestyle.” – With this thought, Sophia transformed her newly built house into a retreat. She is an expectant mother, creative shop owner of Irmis Hoamat, a businesswoman at heart, fashion queen, and interior design enthusiast. Just after moving in, she used our Komar wallpapers to turn each room into a cozy world – each one a reflection of her personality and her balance between family, fashion sense, and love for interiors.
A Home Between Tradition and Modernity
A house that preserves stories while creating new ones. Whoever enters Sophia’s home on the edge of the Alps immediately feels the connection between tradition and modernity. Warm materials, thoughtful details, and alpine comfort meet elegant Art Deco nuances and Sophia’s refined sense of fashion and interior design. Every room carries her personal touch – a place that radiates warmth and unites the beauty of past values with timeless elegance.
Modern Heritage: How Sophia in the Chiemgau Connects Modern Living with Lived Tradition
Modern Heritage describes a style of living that harmoniously combines tradition and modernity. In a fast-paced world this creates a counterbalance: a home that is not just stylish but meaningful. It is about more than pure aesthetics – it is about roots, values, and the connection to one’s own history.
A beautiful example of this is Sophia’s home, which we present in our current homestory. She lives with her family in the Chiemgau, surrounded by nature, mountains, and Bavarian culture. And this environment is reflected in her interior design.
A modern home with soul
Sophia’s house is bright, clearly structured, and modern in design. Yet despite the contemporary architecture you can feel in every room her deep bond with nature and tradition. She has created a home that radiates personality, while feeling open and serene.
An important design contribution comes from wallpapers by komar.de. Sophia uses them deliberately to create atmosphere and to make her values visible in a subtle but powerful way.
How Sophia uses wallpaper as a defining design element
- In the stairwell she chose a wallpaper with a natural tree motif. The calming design brings the landscape of the Chiemgau into the house and creates a harmonious transition between the levels.
- In the children’s room a lively Art‑Deco wallpaper with animal motifs brings playfulness, fun, and imagination into the space. The colors and shapes add lightness without sacrificing style.
- On the gallery, which serves as a reading and retreat area, she uses an elegant leaf design wallpaper. It feels airy yet structured – perfect for this open space with lots of light.
- In the dressing room Sophia selected a romantic, slightly nostalgic wallpaper with a forest motif. It gives the room a soft, feminine touch without feeling over the top. A place of calm where past and present meet in harmony.
Living with purpose – inspired by Modern Heritage
Sophia shows that a modern home need not be cold or generic. With sensitivity and the right materials it is possible to design a living concept that is both contemporary and emotional. The wallpapers from komar.de help her shape spaces with character.
Each wall tells a story – of nature, of one’s own origin, of personal memories. That is what makes the style of Modern Heritage so special: it merges aesthetics with depth and creates spaces that are not only beautiful but also meaningful.
