Houzz Tour: A Touch of Glam in a Remodeled Victorian
Black and blue furnishings and decor put a dramatic spin on classic style
Living Room
“They wanted to create a welcoming space for a revolving door of friends and out-of-town guests,” Jones says. In the living room, she set the tone with a tufted leather ottoman, a blue armchair to play off the fireplace (which had previously been painted), and a bespoke, metal-studded bar cabinet nearby for handy cocktail mixing. Doors that slide into the wall — virtually disappearing — connect the indoors to the outside.

The top of the cabinet flips up for easy access to liquor bottles and glasses.
Indoor Dining Area
The dining area off the kitchen gets a few hints of formal traditional details from upholstered nailhead chairs, while a contemporary table with clean lines spins the look modern. To top it off, the Robert Abbey “Bling” chandelier gives the room some glam.

To give the room some whimsy, Jones used Trove Indi wallpaper that is graphic and has movement.
Guest Room
For the guest room, which is also on the second floor, Jones wanted to “exude the same drama and style as the rest of the home.” She layered shades of gray with a dramatic ceiling light by Kelly Wearstler. The black tones get more mood from a photograph by artist Marc Harrold.

Master Bedroom
“We wanted the master to have an enveloping, moody feel,” Jones says. “The [existing] blue gray paint was the starting point. We layered in a silver silk rug, mixed metals and subtle patterns and textural fabrics to create a luxurious retreat.”

House at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple who love to entertain
Location: San Francisco
Size: 2,600 square feet (241.5 square meters); four bedrooms, three bathrooms
Designer: Jennifer Jones of Niche Interiors
The backstory: This Edwardian home set in San Francisco’s charming Noe Valley neighborhood already had been completely remodeled when the new homeowners purchased it, giving them a clean, modern interior and blank slate with which to work. A lot of the details were in place, including in the kitchen and the wall paint colors. They enlisted designer Jennifer Jones of Niche Interiors to help elevate the living space with more glamour for entertaining and hosting.
Entry
A hexagon runner gives a graphic punch to the entry stairs, playing off a black metal railing that was already in place. Drawers were added to the right of the stairs to store shoes and handbags. A custom floating console provides a place to hold keys and sunglasses while maintaining an open feel.
Runner: Stark Carpet
