PROXY STATEMENT
For the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

October 2, 2018

                This proxy statement (this "Proxy Statement") and the accompanying proxy or voting instruction card relate to the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Ethan Allen Interiors Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ethan Allen") to be held at the Ethan Allen Corporate Headquarters, 25 Lake Avenue Extension, Danbury, Connecticut 06811 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, November 14, 2018.

                The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") is soliciting proxies from stockholders in order to provide every stockholder an opportunity to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting, whether or not such stockholder attends in person. A proxy authorizes a person other than a stockholder, called the "proxyholder," who will be present at the Annual Meeting, to cast the votes that the stockholder would be entitled to cast at the Annual Meeting if the stockholder were present in person. It is expected that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy or voting instruction card will be first mailed or delivered to our stockholders beginning on or about October 2, 2018.

                When used in this Proxy Statement, "we," "us," "our," "Ethan Allen" or the "Company" refers to Ethan Allen and its subsidiaries collectively or, if the context so requires, Ethan Allen individually.

                Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following matters at the 2018 Annual Stockholder Meeting:

                The Board of Directors believes that good corporate governance is important to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of its stockholders and to enhance the creation of long-term stockholder value. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that support this belief, strengthens Board and management accountability and comply with the corporate governance requirements imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), including, among others:

Table of Contents

                Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. is a vertically integrated interior design and home furnishings company, serving consumers around the world. To effectively manage our enterprise requires a strong governance foundation, as well as leadership with an understanding of the diverse needs of our consumers and associates. The composition of the Board reflects an appropriate mix of skill sets, experience, and qualifications that are relevant to the business and governance of the Company. Each individual Director epitomizes the Company's Leadership Principles, possesses the highest ethics and integrity, and demonstrates commitment to representing the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. Each director also has individual experiences that provide practical wisdom and foster mature judgment in the boardroom. Collectively, the directors bring business, international, government, technology, marketing, retail operations, and other experiences that are relevant to the Company's vertical operations. The Board of Directors has general oversight responsibility for the Company's affairs pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and the committee charters, corporate governance guidelines and other policies under which the Company operates. The Board is deeply involved in the Company's strategic planning process, leadership development, succession planning, and oversight of risk management. In exercising its fiduciary duties, the Board represents and acts on behalf of the Company's stockholders and is committed to strong corporate governance, as reflected through its policies and practices.

                The Board of Directors has determined that nominees James B. Carlson, John J. Dooner, Jr., Domenick J. Esposito, Mary Garrett, James W. Schmotter and Tara I. Stacom (six nominees for the Board of Directors) are independent directors within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board determined that these directors and nominees not only met all "bright-line" criteria under the NYSE rules, but also that, based on all known relevant facts and circumstances, there did not exist any relationship that would compromise the independence of these directors. In order to be considered "independent" by the Board of Directors, a director must (i) be free of any relationship that, applying the rules of the NYSE, would preclude a finding of independence and must (ii) not have any material relationship (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization) with us or any of our affiliates or any of our executive officers or any of our affiliates' executive officers.

                The Board of Directors recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board believes that, given the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate, the optimal Board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant.

                At present, the Board of Directors has chosen to continue combining the two roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the best interests of the Company are served by Mr. Kathwari serving in both roles taking account of his unique long-standing tenure with, and investment in, the Company and also the Board's utilization of a strong Lead Independent Director. The Board of Directors believes that this governance structure provides the basis for clear, efficient executive authority in the Company, especially taking into account the Company's flat management structure, while balancing appropriate oversight by the Board of Directors.

                Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chairman is not an independent director, the Board shall select a Lead Independent Director from among the members of the Board who are determined by the Board to be independent. The selection of the

Lead Independent Director occurs at the annual planning meeting of the Board of Directors. The Lead Independent Director has such clearly delineated duties and responsibilities as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. While the Board has chosen to continue combining the two roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, it believes that a suitably empowered Lead independent director who is expressly authorized to exert de facto control of the Company by asserting independent leadership of the Board, further promotes the Board's independence from management. The Board formally designated Dr. James W. Schmotter, an independent, non-executive director, as its Lead Independent Director through the Annual Meeting. He organizes and chairs meetings of the independent directors and organizes, facilitates and communicates observations of the independent directors to the Chief Executive Officer, although each director is free to communicate directly with the Chief Executive Officer. The duties and responsibilities of our Lead Independent Director are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and include, among others:

•

presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the non-management or independent members of the Board;



•

serving as liaison between the Chairman and the independent members of the Board;



•

having the authority to call meetings of the independent members of the Board;



•

if requested by a major shareholder, ensuring that he or she is available for consultation and direct communication; and



•

performing such other duties as the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board of Directors in the fulfillment of its duties.

                During fiscal 2018, the Board and management held one investor conference to allow direct interaction and communication amongst the Company and its stockholders and the investment community. Stockholders or interested parties may communicate with the Chairman, the Lead Independent Director, the full Board of Directors, a full committee, individual committee members or individual directors by sending communications to the Office of the Secretary, Ethan Allen Interiors Inc., PO BOX 1966, Danbury, Connecticut 06813-1966 for forwarding to the appropriate director(s). Please specify to whom your correspondence should be directed and the nature of your interest in the Company. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are immediately brought to the attention of the Company's internal audit department and handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters.

                The Secretary shall review any such correspondence and forward to the Board a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of the Secretary, deals with the functions of the Board or committees thereof or that the Secretary otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by the Company that is addressed to members of the Board and request copies of any such correspondence. Typically, the Secretary would not forward to the Board communications of a personal nature or not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including junk mail, mass mailings, advertisements, magazines, solicitations, job inquiries, opinion surveys or polls.

                Additional investor information is available at www.ethanallen.com/investors. Stockholders may also electronically submit their communications to the following e-mail address: ETHBoard@ethanallen.com.

                While risk management is primarily the responsibility of our management, the Board of Directors provides overall risk oversight focusing on the most significant risks. The Board of Directors oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to identify risk areas and provide oversight of the Company's risk management, to support the achievement of organizational objectives, including strategic objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance and to enhance stockholder value. A fundamental part of the Board's risk management is to understand the risks the Company faces and what steps management is taking to mitigate those risks. The Board of Directors participates in discussions with management concerning the Company's overall level of risk, the Company's business strategy and organizational objectives which are all integral components of its assessment of management's tolerance for risk.

                The Company has implemented a Company-wide enterprise risk management process to identify and assess the major risks and develop strategies for controlling, mitigating and monitoring risk. As part of this process, information is gathered throughout the Company to identify and prioritize these major risks. The identified risks and risk mitigation strategies are validated with management and discussed with the Audit Committee on an ongoing basis.

                The Audit Committee reviews our risk management programs and regularly reports on these items to the full Board. Our Internal Audit group is responsible for monitoring the enterprise risk management process and in that role reports directly to the Audit Committee. Other members of senior management who have responsibility for designing and implementing various aspects of our risk management process also regularly meet with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee discusses financial and operational risks with our Chief

4

Table of Contents

Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and receives reports from other members of senior management with regard to our identified risks.

                The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing any risks relating to our compensation policies and practices. Specifically, the Compensation Committee oversees the design of incentive compensation arrangements of our executive officers to implement our pay-for-performance philosophy without encouraging or rewarding excessive or inappropriate risk-taking by our executive officers.

                Finally, cybersecurity is a critical part of risk management for the Company. The Board appreciates the rapidly evolving nature of threats presented by cybersecurity incidents and is committed to the prevention, timely detection, and mitigation of the effects of any such incidents on the Company. With respect to cybersecurity, the Board receives regular reports from management, including updates on the internal and external cybersecurity threat landscape, incident response, assessment and training activities, and relevant legislative, regulatory, and technical developments.

                Our management regularly conducts additional reviews of risks, as needed, or as requested by the Board or the Audit Committee.

                The Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct"), Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee are available on the Company's website at www.ethanallen.com/governance. You may also request printed copies of the Code of Conduct, the Governance Guidelines or the committee charter(s), free of charge, by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at Ethan Allen Interiors Inc., PO BOX 1966, Danbury, CT 06813-1966.

                The Board has approved a set of corporate governance guidelines in accordance with rules of the NYSE. These guidelines set forth the key policies relating to corporate governance, including director qualification standards, director responsibilities and director compensation. The Corporate Governance Guidelines cover, among other things, the duties and responsibilities of and independence standards applicable to our directors. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also cover the Board's role in overseeing executive compensation, compensation and expenses of non-management directors, communications between stockholders and directors, and Board committee structures and assignments.

                Our Code of Conduct requires that each individual deal fairly, honestly and constructively with governmental and regulatory bodies, customers, suppliers and competitors. It prohibits any individual's taking unfair advantage through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information or misrepresentation of material facts. It imposes an express duty to act in the best interests of the Company and to avoid influences, interests or relationships that could give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Further, it also prohibits directors, officers and employees from competing with us, using Company property or information, or such employee's position, for personal gain, and taking corporate opportunities for personal gain. Waivers of our Code of Conduct must be explicit. Any waiver of the Code of Conduct for directors or executive officers may only be made by the Board or the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee, and any waivers or amendments will be publicly communicated, as appropriate, including by a posting on our website within four business days. We granted no waivers under our Code of Conduct in fiscal 2018.

                Sustainability practices are a fundamental part of our Company's operations. Our Board, along with our customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders, understand that a modern approach to running our Company must be aligned with a commitment to sustainability. We believe that integrating our social and environmental values into our business as part of that commitment generates long-term value for our business, our stockholders and the global community at large. In addition to our overall dedication to ethical and accountable business practices, our corporate social responsibility commitments include the areas of environmental sustainability and community connections. We believe that these commitments create value for our stockholders and help position us to continuously improve business performance. Our strategy focuses our efforts on those areas most significant to our business, including health and safety, environmental stewardship, community and stakeholder engagement, human rights, and transparency. As part of our commitment, the Board and its committees are actively engaged in overseeing our sustainability practices and to ensure focus on these topics starts from the top. The Board oversees policies, positions and systems for environment, health, safety and social responsibility, compliance and risk management. The Company's 2018 Sustainability Report is available at www.ethanallen.com/investors.

                During fiscal 2018, there were four regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors including the meeting in connection with the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Independent directors also met four times in executive session without management present. The Lead Independent Director, currently Dr. James W. Schmotter, chaired the executive sessions.

Table of Contents

                All directors are expected to attend all regularly scheduled and special Board of Directors meetings, independent director meetings and committee meetings, as appropriate. The Board of Directors realizes that scheduling conflicts may arise from time to time which prevent a director from attending a particular meeting. However, it is the Board's explicit policy that each director shall give priority to his or her obligations to the Company. All directors who then held office attended the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In fiscal year 2018, there was 100% attendance by each director at each of the four regularly scheduled Board of Directors meetings, and for directors serving on such committees, there was 100% attendance at the four regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, two regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meetings, and two regularly scheduled Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee meetings. As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company's policy is to expect the resignation of any director who is absent from more than twenty-five percent of regularly scheduled Board meetings or committee meetings in a fiscal year.

                The Board of Directors has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee; the Compensation Committee; and the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee. Committee memberships of each nominee and continuing or current director are set forth below:

                Additionally, the Board of Directors determined that each of the members of the standing committees is (i) independent within the meaning of the listings standards of the NYSE, including the additional requirements applicable to members of the audit and compensation committees, as applicable, (ii) non-employee directors (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) and (iii) outside directors (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). See "Corporate Governance".

                The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which was adopted by the Board. Pursuant to its charter, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial statements, auditors, financial statement audits, financial reporting process, system of internal accounting and financial controls, and internal audit function. In so doing, the Committee seeks to maintain free and open communication between the Committee and the Company's independent registered public accountants, the internal auditors and management. The Audit Committee is also responsible for review and approval of any related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The responsibilities and activities of the Audit Committee are further described in "Audit Committee Report" and the Audit Committee charter.

                Each of the current members of the Audit Committee is an independent director within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards. The Audit Committee meets a minimum of four times a year, and holds such additional meetings as it deems necessary to perform its responsibilities. The Audit Committee met five times during 2018. A report of the Audit Committee is set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement.

                The Compensation Committee determines our compensation policies and the level and forms of compensation provided to our Board members and executive officers, as discussed more fully under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis". In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves stock-based compensation for our directors, officers and employees, and oversees the administration of our Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, the Compensation Committee approves the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" with respect to compensation of the Company's executive officers in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC. The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain and terminate compensation consultants, legal counsel or other advisors to the Committee and to approve the engagement of any such consultant, counsel or advisor, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate after specifically analyzing the independence of any such consultant retained by the Committee.

Table of Contents

                Each of the current members of the Compensation Committee is an independent director within the meaning of the applicable NYSE rules, including the enhanced independence requirements applicable to members of compensation committees. The Compensation Committee meets a minimum of two times a year, and holds such additional meetings as it deems necessary to perform its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee held four meetings and individual Compensation Committee members communicated, when necessary, by telephone or other means during fiscal 2018. A report of the Compensation Committee is set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement.

                The duties of the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee include, but are not limited to, the duty to: (i) develop qualification criteria for the members of the Board of Directors and nominate or recommend to the Board of Directors individuals to serve on the Board of Directors; (ii) review, annually, the qualifications of each member of the Board of Directors; (iii) review and monitor the Company's corporate governance policies and guidelines, including the Company's trading policy for its directors and executive officers; and (iv) make an annual assessment of the Board of Directors' performance and report to the Board of Directors.

                The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee follows the procedure concerning nominations or consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders set forth in the By-Laws. The By-Laws of the Company permit stockholders, as of the Record Date, to nominate director candidates at the Annual Meeting, subject to certain notification requirements. Additionally, in 2016, the Board adopted a balanced and market-standard proxy access By-law in step with the public companies that have adopted proxy access. Our By-laws permit a stockholder, or group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least 3% of our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in our proxy materials up to the greater of two directors or 20% of our Board. Stockholders and nominees must satisfy the requirements set forth in the by-laws in connection with such nominations. We believe that this by-law provision provides meaningful, effective and accessible proxy access rights to our stockholders, and balances those benefits against the risk of misuse or abuse by stockholders with special interests that are not shared by all or a significant percentage of our stockholders. See "Stockholder Proposals and Nomination of Directors" under "Questions and Answers" for information on how to submit a proposal or nominate a director.

                Each of the current members of the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee is an independent director within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee meets a minimum of two times a year, and holds such additional meetings as it deems necessary to perform its responsibilities. The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee held four meetings and individual Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee members communicated, when necessary, by telephone or other means during fiscal 2018.

                The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee seeks candidates who demonstrate a willingness and ability to prepare for, attend and participate in all Board of Directors and committee meetings and whose experience and skill would complement the then existing mix of directors. Among the criteria used to evaluate nominees for the Board is diversity of viewpoints, background and experience, including diversity of race, gender, ethnicity, age and cultural background. The Board believes that such diversity provides varied perspectives which promote active and constructive dialogue among Board members and between the Board and management, resulting in more effective oversight. The Board believes this diversity is amply demonstrated in the varied backgrounds, experience, qualifications and skills of the current and proposed members of the Board. In the Board's executive sessions and in annual performance evaluations conducted by the Board and its committees, the Board from time to time considers whether the members of the Board reflect such diversity and whether such diversity contributes to a constructive and collegial environment.

                The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee gathers suggestions as to individuals who may be available to meet the Board of Directors' future needs from a variety of sources, such as past and present directors, stockholders, colleagues and other parties with which a member of the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee or the Board of Directors has had business dealings, and undertakes a preliminary review of the individuals suggested. Candidates recommended by stockholders will be considered in the same manner as other candidates. At such times as the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee determines that a relatively near-term need exists and the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee believes that an individual's qualities and skills would complement the then existing mix of directors, the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee or its Chair will contact the individual. The Chair will, after such contact, discuss the individual with the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee. Based on the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee's evaluation of potential nominees and the Company's needs, the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee determines whether to nominate the individual for election as a director. While the Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee has not, in the past, engaged any third-party firm or consultant to identify or evaluate nominees, in accordance with its charter, may do so in the future.

                The Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee unanimously recommended the nominees named in this Proxy Statement as the individuals with the experience, industry knowledge, integrity, ability to devote time and energy, and commitment to the interests of all stockholders best qualified to execute our strategic plan and create value for all our stockholders.

                At the Annual Meeting, each of the seven nominees described below will stand for re-election to serve as directors until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The seven nominees were nominated by the Board of Directors in accordance with recommendations by our Corporate Governance & Nominations Committee. Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement as a nominee for election as a director and agreed to serve if elected. All of the seven nominees described below are currently members of the Board of Directors. The information set forth below includes, with respect to each nominee for election as director, his or her age, present principal occupation, specific expertise, qualifications and skills along with other business experience, directorships in other publicly held companies, membership on committees of the Board of Directors and period of service as a director of the Company. Also set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to each nominee's nomination as a director, in light of the Company's business.

                Each director is elected annually by a majority of the votes cast. This means that the number of votes cast "FOR" a director nominee's election must exceed 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to the election of that nominee in order for the nominee to be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast. It is the intention of the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxies submitted by stockholders to vote for the seven nominees described below unless authority to vote for the nominees or any individual nominee is withheld by a stockholder in such stockholder's proxy. If for any reason any nominee becomes unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, or for good cause will not serve as a director, the persons named as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote for the remaining nominees and for a substitute nominee(s) to fill the vacancy unless the Board reduces the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may choose to reduce the size of the Board, as permitted by our Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws"). It is not anticipated that any nominee will be unavailable or will decline to serve as a director.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the seven nominees.

                For fiscal 2018, each independent director received $60,000 per annum and an annual stock option award. The number of stock options awarded was determined by dividing the market price of the Company's stock at the grant date into $100,000. Additional quarterly fees are paid to the chairperson of each of the committees as follows: Audit Committee $4,000; Compensation Committee $2,000; and Nominations Committee $2,000. If a committee holds more than four meetings (either in person or telephonically) on days when the full Board does not meet, committee members will be paid an additional $1,000 for each additional meeting beginning with the fifth such meeting. Employee directors do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors. Directors serving on committees for part of a year receive a pro rata share of fees.

The amounts shown for option awards represent the fair values as of each grant date, computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718.
