Moody, artistic and sexy – this is how our bachelor client described the feel he craved for his historic Victorian home in San Francisco. Our interior designers channeled jazz musician vibes with a dash of Art Deco Modern to design a luxe, loungey space perfect for entertaining. Highlighting the original moldings and ceiling medallions was top of mind when coming up with a new color scheme for the home. Oxblood ceilings and charcoal gray moldings add a dramatic twist to the original architectural details from 1900.
A low-slung velvet sofa grounds the living room along with a stately marble and bronze coffee table, modern side tables and a patterned silk rug. A pair of bold mixed media paintings by Tricia Strickfaden add energy and vibrancy to the space. The iconic mid-century ‘Costela’ chair designed by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler in 1950’s Brazil takes center stage upholstered in a vibrant mustard fabric. The rich color palette continues into the adjoining formal dining room which features a custom walnut table designed by Niche Interiors, maroon leather dining chairs and a statement luxury sideboard with faux parchment doors in a golden salmon hue. An oversized steel and smoked glass chandelier by Fuse Lighting fills the space, adding a luxe focal point to the room.
Graphic black and white wallpaper provides a crisp backdrop for the forest green bed in the primary bedroom. The trim and doors are painted in a glossy jet black for maximum impact. The Niche Interiors team designed custom highboy cabinets in the den to maximize vertical storage – one opening to reveal a fully stocked bar and storage for glassware and the other housing a TV. A mid-century modern inspired ceiling fixture and bold artwork lend a retro vibe to the space. Hand painted walls by Caroline Lizarraga add depth to the guest bedroom which has a bespoke bed in a rusty red – a nod to the bold ceilings in the main spaces. Modern glass and brass sconces add mood lighting above marble topped nightstands.
Our full-service interior designers transformed the lower level of this San Francisco home into an additional entertaining space with speakeasy vibes, featuring a game table, bespoke dining banquette and dry bar. The cabinetry design features a slate grey walnut finish and brass mesh on the door fronts which conceal a beverage fridge. Smoky antique mirrors fill the space above punctuated with a floating shelf for displaying glassware.
