Holly Kidwell Interiors

Holly was able to transform my living room while working within my budget. She creatively updated my existing furniture/accessories and helped me purchase new items that worked with what I already had. She was a pleasure to work with and I felt like she truly understood my vision. Holly exceeded my expectations for the room and I highly recommend her!

Holly is a delight to work with . Her professionalism and attention to time management allow her clients ease of mind and the ability to enjoy the design project at hand. Holly brings talent , enthusiasm and creativity to every project her design firm handles.

Holly helped me to decorate the first floor of a home that we recently moved into. We started with a virtual blank slate which meant there was LOTS to do, especially since we were decorating the kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, a bedroom, a foyer, the mudroom, and a powder room simultaneously! I had a Thanksgiving deadline and she met it--and my family and friends (21 came to eat!) couldn't stop gushing about the house while they were here. My favorite thing about Holly is that she takes risks: she knows that we don't want "cookie cutter" and she's not afraid to suggest something outside the box. Black gloss banisters, nail head trim around crown molding, and framed fabric are a few of her outside-the-box ideas that I love in our house!

Holly believes in cost effective decorating. Use what you have but add some pop. Very talented with wonderful ideas. You will agree with me if you hire her.

Holly has helped me with numerous projects in my home. She has copious amount of resources which she shares and she thinks out of the box. My favorite thing Holly has done was her suggestion to update my antique buffet table from boring wooden knobs to these awesome big glass doorknobs. She is not afraid of color which makes us a good match. She recently helped me choose an antelope rug for my family room which I NEVER would have thought of, but it's perfect! Holly has helped me with rugs, awesome lamps, accessories, color scheme, window treatments- you name it. She is very professional and so fun at the same time and let's me go on my tangents about things but then grounds me and helps me make decisions and focus on getting the task done. Holly is great when it comes to different price points. She will not try to talk you in to something expensive if there is a way to find the same thing for less, but she knows when it is important to spend the money for the look- like my amazing white Greek key buffet table lamps.

We could not be more pleased with the work Holly did for us. Holly is very approachable and easy to work with but most importantly she really listens. We hired Holly for a medical inpatient wing where her designs would be on display to the public and would be making an important impression for our organization. Holly was able to take our ideas and bring them to life in such a beautiful way. Throughout the entire process Holly kept us informed of her progress, she worked within our budget to deliver a superior project and her creative ideas gave us options we would never have thought of on our own. I tend to be a control freak but through working with Holly I quickly felt comfortable letting go of the control knowing that she would not disappoint. Holly's designs were far superior to what we imagined. Hire this woman, you will not regret it.

Holly provided design and decorator services for me. She assisted with the overall look of my new addition that included a kitchen, sitting room, new powder room and foyer entrance. Holly sourced furniture, mirrors, art, rugs, lighting and custom upholstery for our new space. She was very professional, always on time and had great suggestions and ideas.

Holly did an outstanding job for us. She listened to our ideas, which were a bit disjointed because my wife and I had drastically different visions. However, Holly made it work. Holly took the best of our respective ideas and flawlessly implemented them. Holly worked within our budget. She coordinated with outside contractors, which made our project a hassle free experience. Holly was a pleasure throughout our entire project and was very responsive anytime we had questions. Thanks to Holly my wife and I feel like the first floor of our home is a refuge from the outside world.

Holly Kidwell is wonderful! I gave her a pile of pictures I had collected for many years, each with an element of a family room I liked and many odd ideas bouncing around in my head. Holly took all these parts and combined them to give us a beautiful family room that appeals to each member of my family. Best of all, it seemed that so many components of the room--furniture, rug, pillows, light fixtures, picture frames--came from a different source, and Holly found them all for me. I didn't spend days (weeks?) running around town (and in one case, Northern Virginia!) to comparison shop. Holly also helped me reuse a lamp (she suggested the perfect new shade) and my existing window treatments. (She knew where to find new trim to update them.) And perhaps best of all--when painting the fireplace was a hard sell for my husband, she sent me a picture so he could envision it. The new fireplace looks great! She is friendly, a good listener and hard working. I am grateful to Holly every time I sit in my new family room!

Holly Kidwell was recommended to the Board at the condominium where I reside. She gave our 30 year old Community Center a much needed face lift. She shopped for upholstery fabric, rearranged furniture, suggested paint colors and gave our center the pop that it sorely needed. If you are on a strict budget, Holly is the decorator for you. She is fun to work with and has a wonderful "eye". Our residences loved the makeover!

As a realtor, I can tell you staging a home is not always the easiest job. Holly made this process a breeze for me and my seller. Her technique was amazing- using the clients own furnishing and adding minimal artwork and accessories she transformed the home. Her professionalism and ability to seek out the clients own wants and needs is exceptional- I highly recommend. Jenny Kramer, Joyner Fine Properties

Holly Kidwell of Holly Kidwell Interiors recently helped us transform the entry hall of our beach house from adequate but ordinary into a bright, inviting space that clearly speaks of "welcome". She was effective in eliciting our ideas and desires, responding to them, offering great suggestions and guidance, and taking a practical approach to acquiring needed pieces. We are thrilled with the results and look forward to working with Holly on future projects.
