Putting together an interior design list that celebrates great talent is no easy matter -- especially for those of us who love decor. How can one choose between a person who expertly infuses space with color and one who brilliantly highlights different silhouettes and textures?
Luckily, we didn't have to make such a decision. Below, we assembled a list of designers who offer varied approaches to decor that will inspire every room in your home. We scoured publications including Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, our own HuffPost Home archives and even turned to some of our personal favorites to find the designers who are constantly reimagining how to live in style.
We're all familiar with the marquee names (here's to you, Jonathan Adler), but whether they have decades of experience or are on the cusp of mass-market domination, these designers make us excited to write about decor day in and day out. And we have no doubt they will excite you to re-envision a corner of your life, too.
