We challenged the two CITY’s Best designers to take a room from blah to bold, and they shared some expert tips along the way.

Styling by Tina Davis and David Brandon Chambers

Decorate a room, your way, from scratch. That’s the challenge we gave CITY’s Best interior designers Tina Davis and David Brandon Chambers. Not only did we want to celebrate and acknowledge them as winners, but we wanted to give them an opportunity to show what they do best. We gave them a blank room, let them ask a few questions, and invited them to unleash their creativity. 

One of the challenges people face when decorating a room is where to start. There’s a blank wall and some furniture, but where do you go from there? How do you fill an entire wall? What pillows and accents will give the room the vision you are looking for? These are just a few of the questions our designers are answering. Read on for their advice.
