Five years ago, when designer Noz Nozawa was hired by a couple with two young children and a new baby to spruce up a few spaces in their 100-year-old, three-story home in San Francisco’s Outer Richmond, she had no idea how long-lasting the relationship would become.
“Initially, they hired me in 2016 around the holidays to redecorate various parts of their new home,” recalls Nozawa. “It was very early in my design career and they’d never worked with an interior designer before.” The initial scope of work included overhauling a formal living room that served as a “glorified storage space filled with boxes and nutcrackers” and to transform the dining room into a versatile, inviting gathering spot.
