Eclectic Patterns in San Francisco Townhouse
Though clean white walls and an open floor plan give this historic San Francisco townhouse a fresh start, it's graphic tile that truly brings the space to life. In the foyer, kitchen and bathrooms, black-and-white tile creates eye-catching backsplashes and floors and ties together all the matte black decor.

Transitional Great Room With Blue Rug
The main living spaces were originally closed off from each other, but for a family with three kids, the rooms were more functional opened up. Now kids can play and parents can be cooking dinner and everyone is still within sight.

The home features views of the Lobos Creek Valley, Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean, so designers treated the vistas as artwork and framed windows in crisp black.

The kitchen was reconfigured to be open and light, with pale wood floors and dark-framed windows that highlight the views. Behind the range, a graphic pattern nods to the global influences used throughout the home.

Mediterranean Foyer With Arched Door
Arches everywhere are a softening touch in the foyer. To make the room functional as well as stylish, designers added a very handy "go-closet" for easily stashing strollers, shoes, outerwear and bags.
