Q&A with designer Soledad Alzaga
Our Designer Network is a group of trailblazers and icons that Sunset and sister publications Coastal Living and Southern Living work with to curate the best home designs for the magazines.
This week, we feature Interior Designer Soledad Alzaga, based in San Francisco.
SA: My style is best described as elegant, eclectic and functional
SA: I am loving the chunkier, lower sofas with square arms. They look inviting and comfortable. And I am still in love with everything brass and gold!
SA: Decorate your rooms for enjoyment. Life is too short to have a perfectly decorated living room where you can’t sit and relax and even get messy.
SA: Crisp, good quality bed linens, pillows and towels are essential for me for any house.
SA: High gloss any color! Black, teal/turquoise or red are my favorites.
SA: I love going to Los Angeles and New York whenever I have a chance. Any excuse will do.
SA: In San francisco for furniture: Battersea, Coup d’etat, Black and Gold, Sue Fisher King, Stuff. Online: Chairish, 1st Dibs and Craigslist are my go-to to find unique things.
SA: Emily Henderson (@em_henderson), Becki Owens (@beckiowens), Rue magazine (@ruemagazine), Tinorenato photographer (@Tinorenato), Amber Lewis from Amber Interiors (@amberinteriors), Genevive Gorder (@genevivegorder), Sunset Magazine (@sunsetmag).
SA: My preference is an island. If it’s on casters, even better so you can move it around if you need to.
