His consulting resulted in colors that we love and that work perfectly in the space as well as offering advice on how to create overall continuity between the new spaces and the existing spaces in the house. I highly recommend Scott's services. **★★★★★ — SR Project Management, July 2014** > Scott's clean designs are timeless. From his fabric selections to wall treatments to space and furniture choices...you can't go wrong. **★★★★ — kaylovegrove, July 2014** > Scott Cunningham and his associates have twice decorated the living room, dining room and master bedroom of our San Francisco home. Each time Scott worked within our budget, created the casual ambience that suited our life style and was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual, responsive, detail oriented and very patient with our inability to visualize the final outcome ahead of time. We had to have, and did have, a lot of faith in his professional abilities. **Comment from Cunningham Design:** > Kay, has both times been one of my very favorite clients. It was easy to help them realize the home they wanted. And we had lots of laughs in the process. thanks. **★★★★★ — shakes151rum, July 2014** > My wife and I worked with Scott for guidance on color selection and material consulting during the remodel of a very central kitchen, and new floors and paint throughout the first floor of our home. We were completely overwhelmed with the possibilities for paint color, floor stain, cabinet, countertop and tile choices, but Scott came in and listened to what our style and tastes were and gave us an easy path to getting everything selected correctly the first time. > > We are extremely happy with the end results and get regular compliments from all guests about the colors and finishes. Scott was a pleasure to work with and we would recommend him to anybody. **★★★★★ — Jessica Grossman, July 2014** > We used Cunningham Design for color consultation & project management for our home's interior/exterior paint colors and choosing the stain for refinishing our floors. Scott had great input about what would/wouldn't work well in our space, and was very knowledgable about suppliers, durability, and environmental-friendliness of materials. He was so organized that we trusted him to manage the projects while we were overseas, and were not disappointed. **★★★★★ — Lori Katz, July 2014** > Scott has helped me with a few projects. He did the design for my upstairs family room/office and my dining room. In both areas he helped me with the furniture layout, purchasing the furniture, carpet choice, paint colors and the placing of artwork and accessories. > The second project was a complete kitchen remodel. He drew up floor plans and cabinet details, helped me choose all the finishes, counter top, backsplash, flooring and paint colors. > Scott always did what he said he was going to do and always completed tasks on time. He helped me see options I had not thought about and he kept me from making costly mistakes. I love my new rooms and they feel like me. **★★★★ — Swivel Design Group, July 2014** > I hired Scott to design my kitchen remodel. He was very thorough in his selection of materials for me, and advised me on the strengths and weaknesses of them. > Scott is very calm to work with, but works with his clients to get at the best end result. If he really believes an element is key to the design process he will "gently" push for it. > I recommend Scott all the time to my neighbors and co-workers - who also have loved working with him. > He is a color expert who gets the selections right on TARGET! **★★★★★ — lauriesalen, July 2014** > Scott's ideas and aesthetics were wonderful. He was able to grasp my needs and show me designs that matched my taste, budget, and space constraints. He was patient with me and helped me zero in what my priorities are. In the end, I decided to wait until I retire (very soon) and then I will hire him for sure. ## Selected projects - [White bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-bathroom-pj-vj~606207) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [decorative hallway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-hallway-pj-vj~606183) - Location: Not specified - [San Francisco House on a Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-francisco-house-on-a-hill-pj-vj~604585) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [contemporary bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bathroom-pj-vj~604465) - Location: Not specified - [Castle by the sea](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/castle-by-the-sea-pj-vj~604655) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Bernal Heights Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bernal-heights-living-pj-vj~169337) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 7 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/cunningham-design-pfvwus-pf~1795288630) ## Ideabooks - [washington st.](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/76220639/list/washington-st) — 9 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/mainer1957) ## Community Q&A **Q: Who makes the sofa?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I originally bought this sofa about 8 years ago from Crate and Barrel....don't know if they carry it any longer. good luck **Q: I love the simplicity of the drapery rod. Can you provide the source?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I love that you asked about that rod. I like the simplicity of it as well. I'm not a big fan of finials. So, I went to Lowes hardware and bought a 2"thick electrical conduit and then painted the rod with darkly tinted clear waterbase finish. I did this with 3 layers of a very brushy texture. Looks like dark wood. I then bought whatever hanging hardware they had...the hardware does not show with this type of drape. Cost $15.00 Have fun. I love doing things myself. **Q: Are those really porcellin tiles?** *(in Photo Questions)* Fab if they are: who the manufacture please? A: I purchased these from Spec Ceramics in SF. The brand is 9x18 Calacatta silk exedra,..certainly some of the nicest I've seen in porceline. **Q: The chairs say it all. Where can I purchase them from please.** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the crisp looking room. Plenty of space to move around and not bump in to furniture. Thanks for sharing your home. A: Good Ol West Elm and they are stackable **Q: Beautiful Bathroom!!!! Can you tell me the brand for the cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Those are custom walnut cabinets build by Michael Grandi in Oakland (510) 388-5693 **Q: paint** *(in Photo Questions)* Wall color? A: wall, trim and ceiling....Ben Moore linen white --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-08.*
