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.
