Wayfair has highlighted top up and coming talent in home design this year with its Trade Tastemaker Awards.
The judges—interior designers Candice Olson, Jeffrey Alan Marks and Windsor Smith—reviewed more than 4,500 submissions to determine the most notable designer in each of the following categories: Designer of the Year, Rising Star, Best Design Innovator, Best Use of Color, Best Design Solution and Best Commercial Space. “We were working with an impressive entry pool—designers with a keen eye for space planning, color, pattern, texture and scale. It was no easy task to select just six winners, but these amazing designers deserve the title,” Olson said.
The winners are:
Designer of the Year: BHDM Design
Best Commercial Space: M. Swabb Decor + Style
Best Design Innovator: Erin Williamson Design
Best Use of Color: kimberlyhallCREATIVE
Best Design Solution: Pencil + Paper Co.
Rising Star: Brynn Olson Design Group
“The level of talent exemplified in the winning designs was exceptional,” Smith said. “A passion for creativity and beautiful design showed through, really setting these rooms apart.”
“Judging the Tastemaker Awards granted us the opportunity to see the next generation of top designers as they cultivate and develop their talents. I am very excited about these winners and cannot wait to see where their careers take them,” added Marks.
Wayfair will honor the Designer of the Year and accompanying categories later this week at a reception in Los Angeles with the judging panel.
