Eclectic White Dining Room Ideas and Designs
Sarah Thomas InteriorsThis house was owned by a very creative couple who had done all the initial works themselves. I was brought on towards the end of the project to tie up all the loose ends and add a few more finishing features.
A wood block floor was sourced for the kitchen and a graphic tiled wall by Bert & May was designed to add colour and interest to the small kitchen. A fireplace opening was reinstated in the living room and the staircase restored and part painted keeping the original paint as a central runner. Full redecoration throughout the house, adding some pops of paint colours and fun wallpapers, finishing off with new curtains and sourcing the final key vintage furniture pieces.
The top of the house had been used as a bit of a dumping ground, and this was given some tlc and transformed into a home office and adult living room. Attention to detail was key in the project managment of the final run to this fabulous home.
Regan Baker Design Inc.Well-traveled. Relaxed. Timeless.
Our well-traveled clients were soon-to-be empty nesters when they approached us for help reimagining their Presidio Heights home. The expansive Spanish-Revival residence originally constructed in 1908 had been substantially renovated 8 year prior, but needed some adaptations to better suit the needs of a family with three college-bound teens. We evolved the space to be a bright, relaxed reflection of the family’s time together, revising the function and layout of the ground-floor rooms and filling them with casual, comfortable furnishings and artifacts collected abroad.
One of the key changes we made to the space plan was to eliminate the formal dining room and transform an area off the kitchen into a casual gathering spot for our clients and their children. The expandable table and coffee/wine bar means the room can handle large dinner parties and small study sessions with similar ease. The family room was relocated from a lower level to be more central part of the main floor, encouraging more quality family time, and freeing up space for a spacious home gym.
In the living room, lounge-worthy upholstery grounds the space, encouraging a relaxed and effortless West Coast vibe. Exposed wood beams recall the original Spanish-influence, but feel updated and fresh in a light wood stain. Throughout the entry and main floor, found artifacts punctate the softer textures — ceramics from New Mexico, religious sculpture from Asia and a quirky wall-mounted phone that belonged to our client’s grandmother.
