Holly Gordon - Blue Iris Interior Design, LLC

We needed a complete update and refresh of our living room. We researched furniture stores and decided to use Ethan Allen. We also wanted to use Ethan Allen’s design service since this was a large project. We were paired with Holly and she came for a home visit. We talked about our dream for the room including paint colors, window treatments, ceiling lights, furniture, floor covering, wall art, and all of the accessories. We have grandchildren and like to entertain; while we wanted our space to be beautiful, we also needed it to be functional for our life style. Holly was amazing, very responsive, and a real pleasure to work with. We met Holly at the store and had a shopping experience like no other. She offered us a variety of solid ideas and encouraged our input as we honed a design plan. Holly listened to our needs and desires while encouraging us to consider options. Her knowledge base is fantastic (you will learn a lot working with her) and her insight makes the difference in a space that is just put together and one that is beautifully appointed! Holly worked with us to reimagine our space so that it feels like us, is beautiful, and very well appointed! We are waiting for a few more items to arrive to finish our new design and can’t wait! Thanks a million, Holly!

Holly is an amazing designer. I love that she challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, but stayed with me for the entire journey to ensure we were happy and felt heard. We simply can’t imagine a better collection of harmonious furniture for our new house than what she created for us. We highly recommend her as someone who goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. She’s also incredibly patient, has a great sense of humor, and has a wonderful eye for color and style. A+++ in our book!

A 5-star review of Holly wouldn’t do her expertise in perfectly outfitting our living room justice! My husband and I were the textbook definition of window shoppers; in fact, it took us a good 4 years before we made the final decision to upgrade our furniture. From our first in-home visit to choosing the final selections, we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. During our initial consultation, Holly brought a wide selection of fabric swatches in all shades and textures for us to comb through, as well as offering suggestions on additional pieces that would complement our living space. When we met with her at EA a few days later, the suggestions she had truly exceeded our expectations. Not only did she think to use different colors and patterns, she also drew a nice contrast between pieces by pairing different textures together. Because of Holly’s knowledge and guidance, we are able to have a picture-perfect showroom right from the comfort of our own home!

I recently purchased a new home in another state and have been working with Holly to furnish it for the past 6 months. She is an exceptional interior designer and a wonderful person. I have really enjoyed working with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and has a great eye for design and color. Holly carefully listens to her client’s needs and then helps them develop a beautiful vision for their space. What I really appreciate is that she suggested options I would not have necessarily otherwise considered. In the end, her suggestions were perfect! I am very happy with the furniture I bought and will continue to work with Holly as she is the best!

I really enjoyed working with Holly! She has a amazing eye for detail and style! She is able to take your vision with little to no details and somehow bring it all out to a wonderful outcome. By showing personal interests in her clients, what they like, what they don't like, she draws on that and comes up with something that will no doubt be timeless for your home! I couldn't have asked for a better design to my living room. I will indeed be using Holly again!

Holly Gordon did an awesome job getting us from a dark and basic dining room to a well coordinated, inviting, and bright one. She came over and got a good feel for what we liked and when we showed up at the showroom to meet with her, she had at least 3 different combinations to start with and modified them as we removed items we didn't like and added in new items when we picked items we did like. She helped push us towards ideas we wouldn't have come up with on our own, but she did it without actually being pushy. When we switched from her idea of side lamps to sconces from another source, she rolled with it and it all worked out better than we had hoped. We will be reaching out to her when we're ready to work on our living room next!

Holly was great to work with...Flexible, knowledgeable, and informative. Our living room turned out great. We couldn’t have done it without her!

Holly is an excellent interior designer. She has been working with me for the past two years with decorating the main level of my home. She is extremely knowledgeable with colors, layout and design and is a true professional in every way. I like how she uses auto cad to layout the design of the room and she measures everything to make sure the furniture fits. She takes time to listen and is a great communicator. Her designs suites her clients’ personality. Holly is personable and friendly and aimed to please. I would hire her to decorate a house, office or an entire building.

Holly created a fabulous design when I was moving into a newly built home. She worked with my artwork to ensure that the furniture would become part of the dynamic look I was going for. Her selection of fabrics and hardwoods created a stunning home.

Holly is very professional and talented individual. I have worked with Holly at Ethan Allen for the past 3-4 years and always enjoy her talent.

Currently working with Ms Gordan on two rooms and couldn't be happier! Great eye for style and color. I would highly recommend her for your design needs.
