Design themes for your San Francisco apartment

Scandinavian green diva – Lose the IKEA but keep the clean look with minimal accessories spread about. Furniture can be light pine mixed with black and deep hued colors, and everything should be as eco-friendly and recyclable as possible.It’s all about art – It’s surely possible to decorate an entire San Francisco apartment with furniture that’s also the work of a local artisan or craftsman. We haven’t seen a photo spread of any such attempts, but we sure would like to. If executed well, this concept is sure to produce museum-quality home tour results.

60’s diner – Mid-century modern is last year’s hot trend, so how about trying something a little more home fried with a 60’s diner motif? Artwork should be retro product advertisements, furniture made of red vinyl, and a waitress in roller skates to serve your guests would be a nice touch, at least for the house warming party.

100 percent scavenged – If you’ve ever experienced the thrill of finding a piece of perfectly usable but used furniture on the street, then scavenging may be your new shopping. Roam areas where you know you are likely to find things (the end of the month is always a good time to have your eyes open as that’s when people move). Supplement any missing items with garage sale searching. Minimal expense, maximum interesting stuff!
