Urban Retreat:
A Calming Bedroom in San Francisco
This project was brought to life with our Virtual Design Package :
From Screen to Dream
🗝 San Francisco, California
In the heart of San Francisco's vibrant Sunset neighborhood, a young professional couple sought to transform their one-bedroom apartment into a haven that balanced work and relaxation. Embarking on their first home together, they desired a space that reflected their individual styles while accommodating their demanding tech careers. Our mission was to create a serene retreat that seamlessly blended functionality and style, with dedicated work areas.

“It was an amazing experience working with Alice. We moved into a new apartment and wanted to decorate the bedroom to be calm and comfortable. From a few inspiration pictures on Pinterest and a consult, Alice nailed the style we were going for. Circling back with a presentation outlining 3D rendering, ideas, color palettes, options and even a shopping list of the furniture/decor items for the space. The room is so cozy, love it!”
