Introductory Overview
Designing homes in Nob Hill isn’t just about refining square footage—it’s about elevating provenance. From storied Victorian flats to sleek penthouses with Golden Gate views, Nob Hill homes come packed with character—and plenty of design potential. At L+P Interiors (or LARK + PALM, for those who know us well), we’ve worked with homeowners throughout this elevated San Francisco neighborhood to create deeply personal, function-forward interiors that reflect both the home’s history and your future.
We’re a full-service residential interior design firm based just across the water in Sausalito—and we know Nob Hill’s architectural language by heart. From ornate Edwardians on Powell Street to newer luxury high-rises along California, we bring an insider’s insight—and a wildly collaborative spirit—to every project. Think: curated comfort, elevated color palettes, thoughtful storage, and a plan that feels as natural as your morning walk to Blue Bottle on Mason.
At L+P, we don’t just decorate spaces—we tell stories. And we can’t wait to help tell yours.

Why Choose L+P in Nob Hill?
1. We Understand the Architecture
Nob Hill doesn’t play by uniform rules. Here, you’ll find Spanish Revival exteriors with modern interiors, Deco-era apartment blocks with bay windows, and the occasional hidden garden flat. We customize every design plan with architectural fluency—respecting original moldings and ceiling medallions while reimagining layouts for today’s families.
2. We’re Practical About Proportions
Space in Nob Hill is often both generous and quirky. Think unusable corners, curved bay windows, and prewar radiators right where you’d want to put a sideboard. We excel in maximizing flow in homes where spatial logic was born before closets existed. Built-ins, clever lighting, and artful layering? That’s where we shine.
3. We’re Here (and Just Over the Bridge)
We’re headquartered in Sausalito, which means anything from design meetings to cabinet hardware swaps can happen quickly—and in person. We’ve worked extensively with Nob Hill-based clients, trades, and vendor partners. We know which elevator needs booking and when valet can be a bit tricky.
4. Elevated Design, Without Pretension
Our design point of view is sophisticated, playful, creative, and smart—with serious attention to detail. We design for the way you want to live, layering brands, vintage finds, and custom pieces in ways that feel elevated but always approachable.
5. We Know What Works in SF
Bay Area microclimates bring their own flair: chilled fog, low winter light, and surprisingly warm fall seasons. We consider this as we design—in paint sheens, window treatment selections, fabric durability, and how furniture fits around radiant heat floors or original fireplaces.
Local Resources & Collaborators
Over the years, we’ve built trusted relationships with some of the city’s top artisans and finish vendors. A few of our favorites:
- Coup D'Etat (for heirloom furniture finds and statement lighting)
- Thomas Lavin at SFDC (where we source textiles and wall coverings)
- Sloan Miyasato (the insider’s go-to for luxurious surfaces)
- OVO SF on Sacramento for artisan-made decor
- Andrea Powell Art for locally sourced fine art and commissions
We also love collaborating with nearby architectural firms like Studio Zerbey when projects call for more structural reimagining.
Neighborhoods & Sub-Regions We Serve
In addition to Nob Hill proper, we work on projects throughout nearby neighborhoods, including:
- Russian Hill (hello view moments!)
- Pacific Heights (grand homes meet clean lines)
- TenderNob (those transitional flats we love to reimagine)
- Lower Nob Hill (where charm and potential come together)
