Inside a Color-Rich San Francisco Queen Anne Home Where Painted Ceilings Take Center Stage

Colorful San Francisco dining room with a green painted ceiling, light blue half paneled walls, a pine table with green chairs and a sculptural glass chandelier.

Set behind a gracious Queen Anne facade in San Francisco, this 1896 home offers little indication of the joyful color story within. Reimagined by the team at Studio Munroe, the historic house has been thoughtfully updated for modern family life, balancing period elegance with a relaxed, welcoming tone.

Inside, color takes the reins. Painted ceilings, playful decor, and some rather unexpected color combinations are the red thread that moves from room to room, guided by the home’s original architecture and a desire to create spaces that feel lived-in, not precious.
