Oscar Wilde once said, “Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” He also said, “Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.” Clearly a bit concerned with imagination or a lack thereof, Oscar Wilde would surely have approved of San Francisco based interior designer Ken Fulk, a man who clearly possesses imagination in spades. His own loft above his design studio in SoMa is punctuated with unique and tasteful pieces of contemporary and classic fine art, bold colors, and varied texture. Recently photographed by Philip Harvey for the blog Style Saloniste, the loft is an inspiration to those wishing to avoid the boring, unimaginative, or consistent. Moreover, it is a veritable pantheon devoted to eclecticism and taste. For more of Ken Fulk’s designs, visit his website. For more of Philip Harvey’s photography, click here.

Sylvester Stallone once said that, “if bad decorating was a hanging offense, there’d be bodies hanging from every tree.” Luckily it’s not, and even if it was, interior designer David Oldroyd would not be among the casualties. He recently completed a modernist renovation of a thirties townhouse that perfectly combines the crisp edge of modernism with the warmth of natural materials. Located in the hills above the Castro district in San Francisco, the interior is a light-filled, purist canvas perfect for its vintage furniture, rare collections, and sensual sculptures. Visit the Style Saloniste for additional photographs of the house. You can view more of photographer Philip Harvey’s work at his website.
