Hillary Thomas

Los Angeles

Hillary Thomas is a Los Angeles-based interior designer whose work and products have caught the attention of House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Traditional Home and Architectural Digest.

Inspired by a love and reverence for the past (specifically the world Slim Aarons -- the jet-setting, glam world of the 50s and 60s), Hillary has injected what she calls a "Vintage Chic" element to her work.

She believes that good design is not something off-the-shelf or necessarily one particular style. Rather, it’s an eclectic mix of the high and the low, where inexpensive flea market finds and fine antiques can effortlessly coexist.
