In an 1878 Italianate Victorian in Berkeley, Erica Tanov’s stated design philosophy of creating “lived-in, relaxed spaces that reflect the soul of the inhabitants” permeates room upon room. At her recently debuted appointment-only studio and showroom, industry pros and design aficionados alike can explore an entire floor—including a parlor, kitchen, dining nook, bedroom and bathroom—all appointed with goods from her signature home collection (think: furniture, bedding, fabric, wallpaper and tiles).

New arrivals from her nearby store, contemporary art, and vintage and antique treasures are mixed in as well. “I wanted a place where I could bring together my passion for design, the arts and gathering, and share that with people in a beautiful setting,” says Tanov, who is hosting events in the showroom, too. Debuting this summer is her collaboration with San Francisco’s Studio Ahead: a capsule collection of embroidered linen that encompasses both decor and apparel.
