The Story Behind the Style: Meet Alisa Bloom

Alisa Bloom: 2025 Designer 360° Award Winner

Introducing Alisa Bloom: 2025 Designer 360° Award Winner

“I always put in one controversial item. It makes people talk.” – Dorothy Draper, Interior and Product Designer

In the case of this year’s Designer 360° Award Winner, Alisa Bloom, the “controversial” item—or items—actually comes with a handmade book that shares the history behind all the exceptional design pieces she brings into a space that make it unique.

“You don’t want your house to look like you bought it all from a store,” Bloom shares. “My goal is so that when your friends come over to your house, they think the pieces were already in your family and handed down, and they are going to ask where the stuff comes from. I make a book for my clients, which has all the pieces listed, where a piece is from and where I found it.”

Conversation pieces, as some may call them, really do bring something to the table when it comes to tackling one-of-a-kind design and highlighting what makes a space phenomenal, inspirational and/or feel like “home.”

We are excited to introduce you to Bloom, sharing what inspires her timeless work in the interior design industry and why she was selected for the 2025 honor. We invite you to scroll down to see our one-on-one interview with Bloom and best-selling author Carl Dellatore.
