Interiors, creative living, and a life shaped by design.

The creative world of bestselling author and interior designer Holly Becker.

The most compelling and beautiful rooms are defined by provenance, craftsmanship, considered proportion, and materials that invite touch.

PURIST began with this belief. Handwoven by skilled artisans in Transylvania using wool, linen, jute, and other natural fibers, its eight designs bring subtle rhythm, structure, and warmth to a room. Each rug can be made to measure and personalized in a choice of more than 100 colors.

The result is not generic minimalism, but a quiet foundation with texture, character, and emotional presence.

Hello I’m Holly

Hi, I’m Holly Becker, an American interiors expert, bestselling author, educator, and founder of decor8. I launched decor8 twenty years ago, before social media became central to how we discover and share ideas, as a place to celebrate the homes, people, and creative work that inspired me. My award-winning blog grew into an international design community and opened the door to four bestselling books, product collaborations, HOLLY magazine with Gruner + Jahr, a career teaching online, and so much more.

Since 2009, I’ve created more than 20 online courses and taught over 10,000 students around the world. Today, my work moves between writing, teaching, interior design, and product design. My newest project is Purist, a natural-fiber rug collection created with Tisca and handwoven in Transylvania by fourth-generation weavers.

Everything I do is rooted in one belief: our homes, our creative lives, and our emotional well-being are deeply connected. Our surroundings influence how we feel, think, rest, and create - often more than we realize - which is why they deserve our care and attention.

My work has been featured across hundreds of magazines, books, newspapers, podcasts, and digital publications, including Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, ELLE Decor, Brigitte, ELLE Decoration UK, Real Simple, Domino, and Apartment Therapy.
