Get the Luxury Look Your Silicon Valley Home Deserves
Posted on April 20, 2021
These sprawling Bay Area mansions boast more than just size—they exude a quiet opulence through thoughtful design and well-curated color palettes. With sweeping interiors, natural light, and high-end finishes, these homes radiate the refined elegance of Silicon Valley living. You don’t need to own a multimillion-dollar estate to capture the same effect. By simply updating your home’s color scheme, you can bring that same sophisticated aesthetic into your own space. Whether you’re looking to evoke the warm, earthy tones of Palo Alto or the understated richness of Hillsborough, a few brushstrokes can transport your home into luxury territory. Get the look of Silicon Valley Luxury with nothing more than the transformative power of paint.
Palo Alto Style

It’s not the impressive amenities in this mansion that stand out. Sure, it’s home to an ice rink, poker room and indoor basketball court, but the 13-acre property boasts natural ceilings. The wooden beams and floors are perfectly at home next to the chosen beige-orange paint color paired in this living room.
This color reads to the eye as a neutral but carries warm, red under tones, setting it apart from beige. When paired with the cream and white colors of this mansion, the rooms feels open and clean while remaining warm and natural. It pairs perfectly with wood elements in furniture and architecture.
Hillsborough Style

This home in Palo Alto covers more than 2 acres and includes lush grounds and panoramic Bay views. The 3-story estate dates back to 1929 and features terraces of greenery and a luxurious pool. Within the home’s 10,000+ square feet are 5 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. Get the look of this wood paneled room by pairing natural tones of furniture and a cream color. Pair this barely there and uber trendy gray with bright pops of colors or deep rich options. This owner chose a deep gray blue, but the color would look equally impressive with deep reds, oranges or greens.
Woodside Style Color Scheme

Go grand with this estate with 6 bedrooms and 8 1/2 bathrooms dotting the grounds. Head outside for tennis, equestrian activities or host friends from your wine cellar or this chef’s kitchen. Exposed wood makes the ceiling feel high and deeper wooden tones in windows, floors and furniture bring the room together.
If you’re into the European feel of this charming kitchen in Woodside, opt not only for the color, but also a faux texture application. This paint pairs perfectly with the distressed white cabinets currently in place. Add some iron lighting elements and you’ll have a chateau feel that is perfectly Tuscan.
