THE DREAM LIST (24) // HEIDI CAILLIER

A deep dive into the designers layered and soulful world.

There’s something undeniably comforting about a Heidi Caillier interior - they feel lived-in, layered with the kind of soul that only comes from time, care, and a reverence for history. As the founder and creative force behind her eponymous firm, Heidi Caillier has developed a singular aesthetic that defies fleeting trends, favoring warmth, nostalgia, and an effortless sense of permanence. Her work is sophisticated yet deeply personal, shaped by an appreciation for antiques, handcrafted details, and the kind of imperfections that make a space feel real.

Though she never received formal design training, Caillier’s instinct for composition, texture, and color has set her apart. Her eye is unburdened by rigid design rules, allowing her to create interiors that feel intuitive and emotionally resonant. Whether it’s a moody, pattern-filled country home or a light-drenched coastal retreat, each project is a reflection of the lives lived within it. From her Seattle-based studio, she leads a tight-knit team working on high-end residential and hospitality projects across the U.S., crafting homes that feel as timeless as they are unique.

Her work has been celebrated in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, earning her a coveted spot on the AD100 list for 2025. In 2023, she released Memories of Home with Rizzoli, offering an intimate look at her design philosophy and approach to layering materials, textures, and personal history to create spaces with true depth. For Caillier, a well-designed home isn’t about perfection—it’s about feeling.

We caught up with Heidi to talk about the spaces that inspire her, her most treasured design finds, and what makes a house truly feel like home.
