Allison Bloom, Principal Designer
About Allison:
Allison's background in science and design has shaped her belief that our surroundings should do more than look good: they should also be sources of comfort and inspiration. Her design work is motivated by a desire to create thoughtful and beautiful interiors, as well as to raise awareness on a national scale about the importance of beauty and aesthetics.
Allison's designs are grounded in a strong visual sense and an interest in data about the impact of architectural beauty on both health and cognition. Allison pays close attention to elements that make a room feel good. Natural light, good proportions and a connection to the outdoors are all key components of her designs. Her interiors feature a combination of raw and refined materials, with a focus on the interplay between wood and metal, and on pieces with strong sculptural components. Allison's interiors are both liveable and inspiring, often favoring neutral tones with layers of texture for visual interest, and large scale colorful artwork. Allison has designed many of the eye-catching furniture pieces in her interiors by combining simple sculptural elements with lustrous, glossy materials.
Allison grew up frequenting commercial and residential construction sites with her father. As a Seattle native, natural light and a connection to the outdoors feature prominently in Allison's work. On a personal level, Allison has relocated with her family several times, and through the repeated experience of turning house into home, she has learned that good design --meaning both beauty and functionality-- is vital to a peaceful, practical, inspiring and enjoyable home. Allison has worked in design at Remodelista and Big Daddy's, where she was an editorial contributor and a stylist respectively. She has also worked in management consulting at Bain & Company and in brand marketing at Blue Nile. Allison has a B.S. from Stanford University. She has renovated two of her own homes and is a mother of three children.
