Meet Holley
I'm Holley, the designer behind Hoffman Interior Design Group. I spent years in commercial real estate before design school — managing large transactions, contracts, and the kind of details and timelines that don't leave much room for missed steps. The creative side lived on the weekends: hosting, the spaces I was making at home, and a handful of investment renovations along the way.
​
When the chance to pivot came, I went to design school, and the first big project after was a full home flip. That became the start of what HIDG is now.
​
The work has spanned residential renovations and single rooms, commercial and hospitality projects, and plenty of smaller jobs in between.
​
My husband and I run a commercial general contracting business together — multi-family, industrial, and retail. He runs construction; I'm COO and oversee our investment side. The residential work on HIDG is managed with a team of trusted subs. That dual setup keeps the design work here grounded in how a project actually gets built.
​
Homes evolve, inspired by real life. A trip leaves an impression that becomes a paint color. A season shifts how a room gets used. A move resets everything. That's the kind of design I share here — the decisions you make as your home grows with you.
​
HIDG is where that work lives. Projects in progress, room reveals, sources I keep coming back to, and the details in between. Some weeks it's a renovation walk-through. Other weeks it's a table set for six, a patio refresh, a paint color worth knowing about, or the lamp I've been thinking about for a month.
​
If you're renovating, decorating, hosting, or collecting ideas for the home you'll get to eventually, you're in the right place.
What Shapes a Space
PLACES
The places that stay with you have a way of showing up at home. The warmth of a sun-soaked Tuscan afternoon. The quiet rhythm of coastal drives to Pacific City. The charm of Paris streets and market stalls. I carry pieces of each — not in souvenirs, but in mood, in tone, in the way light moves through a room. They’ve shaped how I see beauty, and how I try to bring it home.
PEOPLE
A full house, music playing, something on the stove, something blooming out back. I think homes are most alive when they reflect the people who fill them — their rhythms, their rituals, their stories. Whether it’s a pizza night around the oven from Italy or slow mornings with coffee and quiet, those everyday moments are what make a space meaningful.
PROCESS
Design, for me, is never about perfection. It’s about finding the feeling you want to return to, and building from there. I lean into intuition, into thoughtful combinations of high and low, new and old. I document the process as it unfolds — sharing the sources, the thinking, and the layers that make a space feel not just designed, but deeply lived in.
