Light Oak Minimal

San Francisco, CA

Cream on cream risks going flat, so black does the anchoring here — an oval coffee table, thin picture frames, a few hard edges set against white walls and light oak throughout. The white vertical-brick fireplace got a wood table, a fiddle-leaf fig, and deliberately little else. Downstairs, the wet bar and lounge were styled as a second living area rather than an afterthought, and every bedroom was given its own palette — warm brown, black and white, olive, and a kid's room — so no two rooms read the same on a walkthrough.
