Located in Noe Valley, San Francisco, this Victorian home contains contemporary interiors with architectural features and finishes that hint at the property's history. This twelve foot tall kitchen was the last room of the house to receive the same treatment.

A marble-effect stone was the ideal choice for the light space, we chose a quartz for stain resistance with characterful veining. We brought the stone up behind the range and as a 8” backsplash which was suitable for the height of the space.

 

Chrome fixtures and fittings were used for its timeless quality and classic pairing with marble. While the design aesthetic eared on the traditional side, the overall aesthetic for the kitchen was to be contemporary with a Victorian edge.

Maintaining the theme of the house each room had a different pastel paint color, and a soft lavender was chosen for the walls. A contemporary violet-blue was a fitting match for the lavender and a suitable contrast to the existing floor. We chose a traditional, chrome hardware to contrast with the satin finish of the paint.
