Bella Holt





The Studio
Bella Holt is a design studio devoted to creating interiors that resonate—spaces that are timeless, soulful, and deeply grounded. Founded by Annabella Sánchez, the studio brings a layered, material-forward approach to design, drawing on natural elements, emotional tone, and an attunement to the quiet ways space meets us—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Based between East Hampton and New York City, Bella Holt approaches each project with an intuitive understanding of texture, feeling, and atmosphere. The studio offers full-service interior design, including interior detailing, finish selection, and furniture curation—bringing thoughtful cohesion to every element of a space.
With a distinctive point of view and a deep respect for architectural form, the studio creates interiors that speak to the soul and restore a sense of place. Each project is layered, expressive, and rooted in the quiet rhythms of real life—meant to be felt, even in its subtlest moments.
In a world that often feels chaotic, disconnected, and overly polished, Bella Holt’s practice is to bring people back home to themselves—to create spaces that feel grounding and deeply personal. These are interiors that hold space for stillness, reflection, and real life. They offer a sense of resonance in a world that rarely slows down.
A place where beauty holds meaning and depth is never sacrificed for surface.
The Founder
Annabella Diana Holt Sánchez is an interior designer and creative director known for her instinctive eye, soulful aesthetic, and emotionally intelligent approach to space. Her work is layered and architecturally sensitive, yet always soulful at its core.
At NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, she shaped her own path exploring how space affects us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. While that curiosity still lives in her work, her creations come from something less taught and more felt. She approaches space as a living experience—listening, interpreting, and refining until it begins to speak.
Earlier in her career, she worked alongside AD100 designer Steven Gambrel, whose richly layered, architecturally driven work left a lasting imprint. His attention to proportion and spatial storytelling continues to influence her approach, where the bones of a space—the scale, the flow, the structure—set the tone for everything that follows. From there, the palette emerges: colors, textures, and materials that hold memory, create mood, and carry the emotional weight of the home.
Annabella’s work isn’t about decoration—it’s about connection.
She creates spaces that meet you where you are and bring you back home to yourself.
The Philosophy
“Timeless. Soulful. Grounded. Deeply Atmospheric.
My work is rooted in intuition—led by feeling, guided by form.
I design spaces with depth, intention, and atmosphere.
Spaces that feel attuned—aligned with the lives and energies they hold.
A place that feels like home, in the truest sense of the word.”
