About

Effortless style, impeccable taste, honed skills & a determined, collaborative work ethic. 

The ability to create a beautiful home. An appreciation for patina. The passion for creating comfortable, luxurious, classic interiors that blend a signature mix of the contemporary & the antique. A modern sense of classicism informs all of our projects, with scale, proportion and design integrity as the cornerstones. This is Hilderbrand Interiors.

Lisa Hilderbrand’s on-the-job-training began at Christie's focusing on European antiques and rare carpets, after receiving a degree in Art History from the University of Virginia. Whether finding an obscure piece at auction, tapping her extensive network of art and antiques dealers or designing custom pieces at the drafting table, every selection is carefully considered. A dynamic and natural partnership formed with San Francisco-based Sterling Mace, whose Harvard MBA and early career in finance and technology found her successfully stewarding multi-disciplinary teams executing complicated projects on tight timelines. In addition to an innate sense of style and exquisite embrace of details, Sterling brings a thorough, integrated service and West Coast anchor to Hilderbrand Interiors. Together, their shared vision is to create distinctive, timeless, authentic environments, smart in their design for everyday living, and filled with thoughtful details. Elevated and personal, modern but not trendy — there is no one “look.”

As important as the aesthetics of a finished project, is the path to get there. A streamlined program for each client is developed — marrying thorough, practical planning with technical expertise. With an instinct for value-maximizing trade-offs, insight, understanding and rare discipline is brought to both design and budget considerations; offering a distillation of what can be a complicated and intimidating process. A practical knowledge of architectural design and the construction process and how it intersects with design means, whether the project is a ground-up build, historic renovation, or pure interior design, clients are represented from start to finish, as we work in tandem with architects, contractors and all specialty providers. 

Hilderbrand Interiors has been featured in numerous national magazines & blogs including House Beautiful, Luxe, CTC&G, Traditional Home, Country Living, Quintessence and The Elements of Style.
