PR maven Allison Speer is one of the chicest ladies on Instagram… For years I have been enamored by her exquisite style, so when Chairish featured her home and an intriguing Q&A, I could not have been more delighted! Located in San Francisco, Allison’s home was decorated in 2008 by Ken Fulk when she and her husband married, and it was refreshed in 2019 by Allison Caccoma.
This year, Allison is celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the founding of her firm, Allison Speer Public Relations and Events. Her client list includes Tiffany & Co., Valentino, Bottega Veneta, and Prada, to name a few. Prior to starting her firm in 2001, she was director of West Coast events and PR for Giorgio Armani. Chairish is sharing how Allison creates incredible tablescapes, her tips for throwing a party your guests will never forget, and an opportunity to shop a collection of her Chairish favorites. You won’t want to miss!

Lovely San Francisco style which I have always loved from when I lived there. Now in Bruges and I add a few Dutch and Flemish 1600-1700 c paintings to the mix with also lots of Chinese art from my days in the Far East. A tribute to the late Ann Getty whose style none of could keep up with. Margaret MacDonald.
I have dining room tablescape envy!
Love the colors ! Love the layering! Accessorizing! So wonderful to see , rather than the blah, blah, grey. Maybe we have evolved from that. Hope so!
Thank you Glam Pad for this wonderful article I love how you combined my Instagram photos with the chairsh piece so clever. So glad you appreciate a home full of collected treasures!
Warmest regards,
Allison Speer

Allison Speer’s tablescapes are truly amazing and special and I’m inspired and motivated to go create beautiful tables for my every day!
Very lively interiors and bountiful table settings. She really embraces colour and that is good to see.
What a fun visit! Love Allison’s color choices and her chinoiserie flair.
The home is gorgeous but I want the dress! Do you know where to buy the dress or the designer/maker?
This is consistently one of the best interior design blogs I’ve seen. You really outdid yourself ! This house made my day. The table settings are flawless. The dishes with the Mandarins and exotic animals around the rim are just wonderful. She and her designers made chinoiserie look fresh, young, and relevant. I love it!
Thank you for the kind words. 🙂 Allison’s home is spectacular!
