We recently shined the spotlight on a number of interior design pros, and today there are more designer greats and brilliant stylemakers to consider. With so much creative talent emerging on our social feeds, this curated assemblage stands out for me.
Which Designer Great is a Fav?
Brooke and Steve Giannetti
They are the dream team who traded Cali-cool for Tennessee-warmth without missing a beat, and I just love them. They know this because I have confessed adoration in a phone interview and then in person when I visited them at work in their Franklin shop, Patina Home & Garden.
Is it the sunny, earthy, organic, pared-back elegance? The resultant romance and magic permeating from a mix of old world and new?
YES. But something more too. They follow their hearts. They listen to the dreams bubbling up in them. Come what may, there’s plenty to honor in such a journey of hearts.
Jill Egan
This creative dynamo knows her way around European inspired sophisticated interiors.
But is her secret weapon a talent for provocatively making them SING?
After all, music involves artistry and mathematics. A former math teacher, this designer solves challenging equations, plays with proportion, and works magic with light.
Greet Lefevre
If you have followed BELGIAN PEARLS blog for as long as I have, then you know the brilliant Greet. Hers is an unerring eye for beauty, quality, craftsmanship, and comfort.
Extolling the virtues of Belgian design through Lefevre Interiors, her own furniture collection, and an inspiration blog, Greet’s work reflects integrity and warmth.
Sherry Hart
It’s not just her love of neutrals and gorgeous way with texture, it’s the way she layers and mixes with a light hand and a lightness of spirit.
Oh, and how she selects paint colors like a magician and then shares them so they go viral!
Have you been following the soothing classic work of THE beloved goddess we call SHERRY as long as I have?
psst. Sherry, please don’t ever stop making us laugh while teaching us to style shelves.
Carolyn Malone
How in the world does she maintain such exquisite simplicity in her spaces? They feel natural, ethereal, and evolved.
I’ll never tire of elegance that emerges from restraint! This kitchen above is from a home (architecture by Stan Dixon) in Veranda (2017), and the ceiling is right out of my dreams.
Leanne Ford
Years ago, I chatted on the phone with the late Bonnie Broten who had just styled a room for a shoot designed by Leanne Ford.
She called and was all “you’ve GOT to check out this new designer Leanne–she paints everything white, is laid back, and loves the things you love.”
Back then, Leanne was unknown, and Bonnie’s excitement was well founded!
Leanne creates with such profound untethered freedom and joy, and she seems to hold her successes with such deep humility.
Oh…and she digs white. Like a lot.
