Dining Room

While there's no questioning the root of Holly's musical talents, it's her mother's family—a long line of artists—who sparked and cultivated her love of architecture and interior design. "My mom decorated her house in 1987, and if you walked in today you'd have no clue it wasn't recently completed. Because of her, I never buy pieces that will only work on one particular wall or in one particular house. I look for things that will hold up over time."

In this photo: Holly chose a gray, white, and black palette for its timeless appeal. The metallic floral wallpaper is from Designers Guild.
