Regan Baker Design Inc.Intentional. Elevated. Artisanal.
With three children under the age of 5, our clients were starting to feel the confines of their Pacific Heights home when the expansive 1902 Italianate across the street went on the market. After learning the home had been recently remodeled, they jumped at the chance to purchase a move-in ready property. We worked with them to infuse the already refined, elegant living areas with subtle edginess and handcrafted details, and also helped them reimagine unused space to delight their little ones.
Elevated furnishings on the main floor complement the home’s existing high ceilings, modern brass bannisters and extensive walnut cabinetry. In the living room, sumptuous emerald upholstery on a velvet side chair balances the deep wood tones of the existing baby grand. Minimally and intentionally accessorized, the room feels formal but still retains a sharp edge—on the walls moody portraiture gets irreverent with a bold paint stroke, and on the the etagere, jagged crystals and metallic sculpture feel rugged and unapologetic. Throughout the main floor handcrafted, textured notes are everywhere—a nubby jute rug underlies inviting sofas in the family room and a half-moon mirror in the living room mixes geometric lines with flax-colored fringe.
On the home’s lower level, we repurposed an unused wine cellar into a well-stocked craft room, with a custom chalkboard, art-display area and thoughtful storage. In the adjoining space, we installed a custom climbing wall and filled the balance of the room with low sofas, plush area rugs, poufs and storage baskets, creating the perfect space for active play or a quiet reading session. The bold colors and playful attitudes apparent in these spaces are echoed upstairs in each of the children’s imaginative bedrooms.

Tigerplay at HomeThis family swapped out their stairs for a slide, making the journey to the basement playroom super-fun! The bespoke slide was manufactured in a mustard yellow to match the basement's lampshades. The wall and floor mats were covered in soft, natural looking faux leather (not PVC) and were the perfect match to the blues in the lampshades too.

Thinkterior LLCTHEME This playroom takes advantage of
a high ceiling, wide floor space and multiple
windows to create an open, bright space
where a child can be a pirate boarding a
captured ship, a chef in a cafe, a superhero
flying down the slide, or just a kid swinging
on a tire.
FOCUS The tower and slide promise
fun for all — even from the doorway. The
multi-level structure doubles the play area;
leaving plenty of room for a workbench,
LEGO table, and other mobile toys. Below
the tower, there is a chalkboard wall and
desk for the young artist, as well as a toy
microwave and food items for the budding
chef. Brilliant primary colors on the walls
and a sky blue ceiling with clouds create an
entirely pleasant environment.
STORAGE To accommodate a multitude
of toys of varying sizes and shapes, the
room is equipped with easily accessible,
mobile and stationary storage units. Colorcoordinated
baskets, buckets, crates and
canvas bags make cleaning up a bit easier and
keep the room organized. Mindful that the
number and types of toys change as children
age, the shelving unit features floating boards
and adjustable pegs.
GROWTH Designed as a family
playroom with growth in mind, the room
suits the needs of children of various ages.
Different elements can be added or retired,
and older children can keep more mature
toys and games on higher shelves, safely out
of a younger sibling’s reach. Lower shelving
is reserved for the youngest child’s toys,
books, and other treasures.
SAFETY To minimize the bumps and
bruises common in playrooms, exposed
screws and bolts are covered by plastic
molds or rope twisted around metal joiners.
Elastic netting protects openings on the
tower’s upper levels, while playroom
activities can be monitored via any
television in the house. Smaller kids are kept
off the upper levels with the use of climbing
net and rock wall anchors.
