A Revival of Elegance – Spanish Revival on Sunset by Jaccard Interiors

Nestled in the heart of San Diego’s historic Mission Hills neighborhood, Spanish Revival on Sunset is a masterful reimagining of classic Spanish architecture. With thoughtful care, Jaccard Interiors has transformed this inherited home into a harmonious blend of traditional elegance and modern sophistication, embracing both history and innovation in every corner.

The project is rooted in the Spanish Revival style, an architectural movement that originated in the early 20th century, influenced by the rich history of Spain's Mediterranean heritage. Characterized by its use of arches, red-tiled roofs, and intricate ironwork, this style evokes a sense of romance and timeless beauty. However, under the vision of Jaccard Interiors, the traditional elements of this historic style are not simply preserved, but reinterpreted to suit contemporary tastes and the lifestyle of the modern homeowner.

"At Spanish Revival on Sunset, heritage and modernity coexist, creating a home that embraces both its past and its future."

One of the most striking features of the home is its use of light. The design has been carefully considered to maximize natural light throughout the space, giving the interiors an airy, open feel. Large arched windows serve as focal points, framing views of the surrounding landscape while flooding the rooms with sunlight. These windows, paired with high ceilings, give the home a grand yet comfortable scale, making it feel both expansive and intimate at once.

The front sunroom is a sanctuary that perfectly captures the spirit of the project’s design ethos. Natural light pours in through large arched windows, illuminating the room’s warm color palette and tactile materials. The blend of antique and modern furnishings further highlights the home’s duality, with beautifully restored antique cane-back accent chains juxtaposed against contemporary tables and lighting fixtures. This balance creates a tranquil yet sophisticated retreat, embodying the sense of timelessness that defines the Spanish Revival style.

"Rooted in Mediterranean warmth and contemporary elegance, this home redefines what it means to live beautifully in historic surroundings."

The dining room and living areas exemplify the project’s seamless blend of old and new. The juxtaposition of rustic textures with sleek surfaces creates a harmonious balance, making these everyday spaces feel both functional and luxurious. It is a perfect reflection of the home’s overarching design philosophy – one that honors tradition while embracing the convenience and aesthetics of contemporary living.

Throughout the home, the furniture and décor were chosen to enhance the Spanish Revival ambiance while introducing a modern sensibility. Textured textiles, artisanal pieces, and handmade furnishings bring character and depth to each room. The living room’s plush, earth-toned upholstery contrasts with the solid wood coffee table, while intricate tilework and carefully chosen accessories, like wrought iron chandeliers, further cement the Mediterranean influence. Every piece contributes to a curated yet comfortable environment, making the home feel elegant but lived-in.



From the moment you step inside Spanish Revival on Sunset, you are greeted by an ambiance that is both welcoming and sophisticated. The warmth of natural materials like wood and stone, combined with a carefully curated color palette of earthy tones, immediately sets the stage for a home that feels deeply connected to its Mediterranean roots. The warm terracotta hues and soft cream walls reflect the Spanish aesthetic, while sleek, modern finishes subtly nod to contemporary design trends. In reimagining this home, Jaccard Interiors has succeeded in creating a space that feels both nostalgic and new. The careful interplay of traditional materials, Mediterranean influences, and modern touches results in a home that is not only aesthetically stunning but also highly functional for contemporary living. It is a celebration of San Diego’s architectural heritage, reinterpreted for the present day, where the charm of the past meets the sleekness of the future.
