Holly A. Kopman Interior Design

Holly is excellent and I can't say enough good things about her from both a personal and professional aspect. She helped us in a complete remodel of our condo, everything from moldings to where the canned lights should be pointed, to the exact positioning of the outlets. She has also helped us design a few of the rooms in our home. She takes a very comprehensive view of the home and understands the feeling that we wanted from each particular room. She gave us a range of options to choose from and brought up things that we didn't even know we needed that we have ended up loving, and now can't live without. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and have sent several of our friends to her for similar design work. She is a pleasure to work with!

Holly is wonderful. I have had the pleasure to work with her on my primary residence numerous times. She is a talented designer and a great communicator. I trust her design aesthetic implicitly. Nicholas Lenett President, CEO Peloros.io

I highly recommend Holly Kopman’s design services. As an art collector, I wanted the interior design of my home to be as inspiring and alluring as the artwork itself. Holly clearly understood my vision and goals. She helped me create the perfect environment to highlight my collection, ensured there were cohesive design elements throughout the house, and also provided the time and space to explore innovative design options. In addition, we collaborated and designed custom furniture that would showcase my art while also being as unique as the art pieces themselves in terms of color, style, texture and feel. It was exciting and fun to co-create with Holly. She provided invaluable and unparalleled expertise in the selection of perfect components for the pieces, as well as guidance on the best artisans to fabricate for us.

Holly's work is gorgeous and innovative. She immediately understood what I was looking for, even sometimes when I wasn't sure myself. She is a consummate professional and completely engaging to work with.

I have worked with Holly on at least 4 significant design projects for our house in San Francisco. It was built in 1904 and we have been focused on creating an environment that is more conducive to 21st century living, which has been an ongoing evolution. Holly has an incredible capacity incorporate my design aesthetic into a workable, affordable vision that has truly transformed the way we live in our spaces. I am very interested in making purchases and using materials that are sustainable and environmentally friendly, which Holly accommodates whenever possible. She has been a master at helping me update furniture pieces with fresh paint jobs and hardware, which I so appreciate. When Holly and her team finish a room in our house, we never even move a photo from the shelves again - her styling is perfection. I would not only recommend Holly as a Designer, but I am certain we will hire her again.

I have worked with Holly A. Kopman Interior Design on two large home remodel projects over the last 8 years. Holly has an impeccable eye for color and style and her approach is both innovative and solution oriented. She truly listened to my vision and then creatively stretched it into a result that exceeded my wildest dreams. Most importantly, it was a joy and fun creative experience to work with her. I am so proud of my house and would trust her with any project. I recommend her to anyone looking for interior design expertise and look forward to working with her again!

I hired Holly as a designer for my home in Marin County. The house is a 1909 Craftsman style with large rooms and a tremendous amount of wood paneling. I wanted the interior design to have a more modern aesthetic and was looking for a designer who could be collaborative and grow my taste in new directions. Holly has been an incredible partner on the entire home, and in so many facets beyond design. I found her key strengths to be in the following areas: 1. Design - Holly has an incredible eye for looking at an entire room and creating a vision for the key colors/styles that reflect my personality...and also will play best with the shape and light of the room. - She is not afraid to mix textures and graphics but does it tastefully. She really pushed me in interesting ways. Her eye for accessories/textiles is beyond. - Anyone who has worked with her will tell you she is a master of finding the perfect shade of WHITE for a home, as there is never one white. It was amazing to see a bathroom transform with a slight onion-tinged white paint to pick up on green tile, or our wood paneled living room brighten up with the perfect creamy white drapes. 2. Collaboration & Communication - After hearing horror stories about working with designers, it was refreshing to find Holly wanting my home to reflect my style and personality, not hers. She loves using online design sites like Houzz/Pinterest to share inspirational ideas. A true partner/collaborator, she made the whole process fun instead of daunting. - Holly never takes anything personally. If she presented something I didn't like, she would ask great questions and offer alternate ideas immediately. - Holly works incredibly well with contractors, architects, and vendors of all levels and sizes. She ended up being a project manager on some of our remodeling projects and pushed for timelines to be met (and thus her design elements could be completed by our imposed deadline). 3. Organization - Her system for estimates, invoices and her time billing is so detailed and transparent, I never had any surprises with hidden fees popping up later. - She is crazy great with CAD drawings and showing detailed floorplan options so you can easily visualize furniture ideas and placement. - I love that she sets up large books for each client to keep, organized by room with floorplans and tearsheets/photo clippings of the furniture/accessories/textiles for each room. 4. Resources Holly's resources are endless - whether locally in the Bay Area or across the globe. She is conscious to a client's budget and always offered options for doing things at a couple price levels. She knows when to use retail stores and when to go to designer showrooms and how to make your budget really work for you. Sometimes we would do trips to shop together and others she would send me on my own. She gave me the space to explore her resources, online and in person until I found something I loved. I've had so much fun working with Holly that I've already enlisted her for an update on a few rooms for 2013. I truly respect Holly's design aesthetic and her incredible way of conducting business. I can't recommend her highly enough.

As a custom metal fabricator I have the privilage to work with the many excellent designers and architects. Holly Kopman is one such designer. Holly came to us with an idea for a custom made chandelier that would compliment the amazing interior she was designing for her client. Holly had a clear vision of what she and her client wanted and was able communicate their desires perfectly. The end result was a truly unique lighting fixture that is now gracing her clients dining room. I would highly recommend Holly Kopman for design services.
