San Francisco Interior Design

It has been called one of the most beautiful cities in the world and has been made famous in song and film for a long time. It is the city of every type of freedom imaginable from free love to freedom of expression. The city where the fog is thick but the sun is warm can only be the city of San Francisco. Interior designers, hippies, businessmen and a whole lot of other eclectic peoples make this city their home. The rolling hills with old wooden houses and the gilded cable cars that run up and down the streets are all part of what makes San Francisco such a beautiful city.

In 1776, the Spanish settled the peninsula on which the city is built to today with a fort and a mission named for St. Francis of Assisi. From these humble beginnings the city boomed during the 1848 California Gold Rush and went on to grow after the greed of gold left. It survived the horrible earthquake of 1906 and managed to remain after the great fires that ravaged the city in the years after that. In the 1960’s the city was the center of the hippie movement and was made even more famous with Scott McKenzie’s song San Francisco. Today it still stands as the great city of San Francisco where interior design, IT, music, business and many more rub shoulders on every street corner.

San Francisco has been famous, or some would say infamous, for a variety of things that have both happened in it and those that live there. The 1950’s saw the rise of beatniks and in the 1960’s San Francisco became the hippie city with hippies from all over America streaming towards the capitol of free love. The Human Be-In concert in 1967’s Summer of Love was the height of the hippie revolution. The 1970’s saw San Francisco as the center of the gay rights movement and was the first city to openly have a ‘gay community’ in the Castro district. It has it all does San Francisco, from interior design, to hippies, to beatniks, to businessmen, to IT specialists…the list goes on and on!

San Francisco ’s neighborhoods have also garnered much acclaim through movies and television. One of the most famous neighborhoods is Chinatown that is said to have the largest concentration of Chinese outside of China. Castro is famous for being an openly gay community that is proud to be it and every year thousands of tourists stream towards the historic Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Almost anything can be found for sale or hire in downtown San Francisco. Interior design, publishers, artists and more can be sought in the downtown area and surroundings. From the twisty road on Nob Hill, to the famous Golden Gate Bridge and the its infamous neighbor, Alcatraz; San Francisco is a place that is an experience rather than just a destination. The sights, the smells, the tastes, and the sounds all come together to create the wonder that is San Francisco.
