Sea Cliff Interior Designer
THOUGHTFUL LAYERED INTERIORS designed for refined everyday living
SEA CLIFF INTERIOR DESIGNER
FULL-SERVICE INTERIOR DESIGN FOR SEA CLIFF HOMES, WHERE 1920S ARCHITECTURE MEETS THE QUIET RHYTHM OF OCEAN LIGHT.
Miss Alice Designs is a San Francisco residential design studio led by Alice Chiu. We take on a select number of full-service projects each year, so every detail from first measure to final installation is personally overseen.
DESIGNING FOR THE architecture of seacliff
Sea Cliff is one of San Francisco’s most quietly distinguished neighborhoods. Its homes, built primarily in the 1920s and early 1930s in Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, Tudor and Storybook styles, sit within a structured grid that opens toward Lands End, Baker Beach, and the Pacific. Life here is shaped by light and proximity to the ocean—soft mornings, shifting fog, and long afternoon shadows that move through the home.
Our work begins with that experience. We design spaces that feel calm, considered, and effortlessly composed—interiors that respect the original architecture while supporting the rhythms of daily life. Materials are chosen for how they age with coastal air: how brass softens over time, how natural fibers bring ease, how stone holds its presence quietly. Wherever possible, original details are preserved; where they’ve been lost, they are thoughtfully restored.
The result is a home that feels unmistakably rooted in Sea Cliff—quietly refined, enduring, and personal from the moment you walk in.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
IN THEIR WORDS
“Miss Alice Chiu of Miss Alice Designs did a wonderful job with her design for my Victorian flat remodeling. Her kitchen concept was functional and beautiful and she gave me great direction on paint colors, light fixtures, floor stains and many other details. She is also a terrific project manager and has a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and integrity. A pleasure to work with, she has both a strong point of view and openness to collaboration. I recommend her without reservations.”
