When you think San Francisco décor, the classic, beautiful Victorian architecture probably comes to mind.

San Francisco’s beautiful gingerbread Victorian homes are a classic part of the city. Victorian houses are known for their beautiful interiors. Their high ceilings, crown molding, beautiful fireplaces, and huge bay windows encourage a refined and elegant style of décor.

But Victorian style, for all of its classic elegance, doesn’t always mesh well with our modern lives, and today’s interior home designs.
