Approach
Massucco Warner Miller Interior Design and Decoration is a recently formed collaboration, but the three principals are hardly new to the San Francisco design scene. Julie Massucco, Melissa Warner and Carrie Miller have all honed their design skills at top firms in San Francisco and New York before joining forces as MWM.
The draw of the trio, beyond their down-to-earth, friendly demeanor and upbeat style, is their ability to bring a freshness and vibrancy to projects ranging from elegantly detailed residences in Presidio Heights to airy, modern penthouses with spectacular views in Russian Hill. Using classical motifs in a fresh, modern way, the designers work closely with their clients and craftspeople to achieve unique spaces that reflect their clients’ personalities.
MWM specializes in finding unique pieces for its clients. In addition to shopping local haunts, the designers shop sources in Palm Springs, Manhattan and Los Angeles and frequent auction houses and flea markets in search of the perfect treasure to give each room a unique flair.
Creamy metallic wallpaper lines the stairwell and sunny yellow Eames chairs enliven the conference room in MWM’s 1,200 square foot design studio in Cow Hollow. The office has the chic look of an Upper East Side apartment infused with a relaxed West Coast vibe. Olive, the office pug, is usually found napping in the fabric library.
