Layered, Sophisticated & Subtly Surprising Interiors.

Hi, I’m Erik, the founder of Holmes Johnson LLC, an interior design studio creating high-end spaces with character and clarity. I specialize in luxury residential design — with projects spanning the Vancouver and New York City areas.

My work ranges from full cosmetic renovations to focused room updates, including kitchen and bath design, art advisement, and outdoor space planning.

I source from a mix of emerging artists, independent makers, and trusted industry favorites to bring together spaces that feel considered, personal, and entirely your own.

More about me: I guide clients step-by-step through the design process to make sure each project reflects their individual needs, tastes, and way of living. Before starting my own design studio in 2022, I spent years working in luxury retail and high-end furnishings—experience that sharpened my eye and deepened my understanding of how people interact with space, detail, and material.
