From a ship chandelier in the bathroom to Breton stripes in the bedroom, designer Ken Fulk softened a black-and-white interior with whimsical touches, natural textures, and a few pops of red.
Antique meets modern in the living room of a San Francisco Victorian. Designer Ken Fulk chose a black and white palette, softened with neutrals and natural textures. The chimney breast is papered with Ralph Lauren's black Yacare Crocodile, and a Ralph Lauren Peyton ottoman sits on a cowhide rug from Frank's Leather & Hides.
"We wanted to keep things simple and not too expensive in the dining room," Fulk says. "So we used old Pottery Barn chairs and joined two glass-topped tables from West Elm. The polished-nickel bases add just the right amount of glamour." For warmth, he clad walls in Kneedler-Fauchère grass cloth. A mirror from JRM International reflects a 1940s Lucite lamp. Crown molding is painted Ralph Lauren's glossy Bone Black.
In the master bedroom, Ralph Lauren Home's Sloane Stripe wallpaper "provides relief from the heavily ornamented bed," Fulk says. Antique Asian hatboxes serve as nightstands. Fulk's smart double Roman shade offers variable light control by layering opaque linen duck over translucent grass cloth.
The bold horizontal stripes in the guest room are "playful and modern," Fulk says. What he calls "Rorschach inkblots" on the furry stools and rug loosen up the geometry. French silhouettes of children hang behind the Pottery Barn daybed. "When the folks who work with me hang pictures, they're methodical. They map everything out on paper and use laser levels. But I'm a 'Hand-me-the-hammer-I'll-know-when-it's-right' guy," says Fulk.
