about Paloma
Paloma Contreras is an acclaimed interior designer working on high-end projects across
the country. Paloma has honed her distinct eye for style over more than a decade in the
design industry. She has developed a reputation for designing beautiful interiors in her
signature modern-meets-traditional aesthetic resulting in spaces that feel polished, refined, and effortless. Drawing from a wide range of influences from the late great Billy Baldwin or Frances Elkins, Paloma works in a variety of styles and locales. Whether working on a glamorous Palm Beach abode, a classic Houston estate, or a relaxed beach house on the Jersey Shore, Paloma works closely with her clients to draw out the essence of each home. She believes that when it comes to crafting a beautiful home, there is what you see, but the ultimate mark of a great home is how it feels—both functionally and in the emotions it evokes. Paloma’s interiors are at once timeless yet fresh-- balancing attention to detail and the intersection of form and function to enhance a well-lived life.
Paloma has repeatedly been named to the prestigious ELLE Decor “A-List” of the top interior designers in the world. She has also been recognized as a “Next Wave” interior designer by House Beautiful and has been named to LUXE Magazine’s “Gold List”. Paloma has been named one of the Top Social Media Influencers in the Home category by Forbes and has one of the Top 10 Instagram accounts to follow for interior design, according to ELLE Decor. Her work has been featured extensively in publications including ELLE Decor, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Vogue, Domino, Luxe, Traditional Home, Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal.
Paloma designs a lighting collection for Visual Comfort & Co. Paloma’s first book, Dream Design Live, was published by Abrams in September 2018. Her second book, The New Classic Home, is slated for an October 2023 release. Her curated retail shop, Paloma & Co, opened in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood in January 2019 and has expanded to include a robust online platform. Paloma resides in Houston with her husband and young daughter. Her firm is in-demand across the country, with current projects in Houston, Palm Beach, Key Largo, Atlanta, and New York.
