Regan Baker Design transformed this 1930s Presidio Heights French-style home into a modern yet traditional space, showcasing the clients’ love for travel and collecting, while balancing its existing architecture. East Coast roots with California coastal hues are represented throughout its four stories, using the dark moody tones of blues and greens to create a balance between sophistication and warmth. Unexpected accents such as wallpaper on the ceilings, clean-lined custom cabinetry, and a floating desk for two, provide thoughtful personality and customized storage for this family of four who loves to host family and friends. Playing off the natural light from existing windows, deep paint hues and vibrant tiles bring an edge to the original architecture. By removing an existing wall between the family room and kitchen, the downstairs living space was adapted for a more modern family flow.
