Martha Mulholland Interior Design

Founded in 2013 and based in Los Angeles, the studio is led by Principal Martha Mulholland. Born and raised in Central Kentucky and educated in art history and historic preservation at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Martha draws on her deep knowledge of design history for every project. A custodian of that history, she deftly mixes vintage and antique furnishings that span a wide range of styles, cultures and eras with commissioned contemporary works from her community of makers, artists and craftspeople to create thoughtfully curated spaces that celebrate objects and their stories.

​

Mulholland’s design process is bespoke and hands on, ensuring that every environment the studio creates is singular and specially suited to a client’s particular tastes and desires, while still bearing signatures of her style. The foundation of that style stems from familiar tenets of fine art practice: materiality, tension, scale, proportion and texture. For Martha, designing a space that is emotionally resonant, inviting and memorable is as much about the subtle alignment of these attributes as it is about the furniture and finishes that fill it.

Martha has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful and Vogue, among others. Past projects include residences for clients in fashion, film and television and retail spaces such as the Los Angeles outpost of The Apartment by the Line and Marysia’s New York and Los Angeles showrooms.
