Ashi Waliany is no stranger to jewels—of the color-palette variety, that is. Take the rich teal-clad dining room blooming with magenta chairs and a light fixture that would make a peony jealous. In a Pacific Heights condo, a curvaceous emerald-tone sofa takes center stage, its sculptural form adding both softness and drama to the space. Layered neutral tones and warm woods provide a grounding foundation. “Every piece was chosen with intention, ensuring the space feels curated rather than staged,” says the San Francisco-based founder of Cusp Interiors.
