Last week our team at ROI attended our favorite annual event, the San Francisco Design Showcase house. Every year, an impressive, stately house is selected, and top area designers are given the opportunity to have their way with one room, leading to a house tour which inspires, educates, forecasts and above all, dreams BIG (ie the stairwell/foyer featured a giant hanging, oh let's just call it a "nest" woven from flowers and other botanicals, from the ceiling of the top floor, down to a tapered bottom suspended at eye level on the first floor).
Some trends to note as you peruse the slideshow of my snapshots at the link below: grey-based neutrals, dulled lavendar in unexpected places (like sisal carpet!), lots of moss and white laquer, tailored/slipcovered comfort, sizable scale, muted European flair. My favorite room of the tour (and perhaps of all time...) was the living room, the first in the slideshow.
Click the link below for the full show, but the designs are truly meant to be experienced in person. I strongly suggest you attend. All proceeds benefit The Financial Aid Program of San Francisco University High School. Ths showcase is open now through May 25. Design credits and more info at: http://www.decoratorshowcase.org/showcase/home.htm, or 415-447-5830.
Until then, enjoy!
