A variety of designers and tastemakers (including one of our own editors!) have signed on to put their mark on the rooms and bring you plenty of design inspiration. To help you get as excited as we are, take a look at last year’s house in Brooklyn, NY, and meet the designers’ Instagrams, below, for an idea of what you may see in the fall. Jamie and Fillip Hord started Horderly in 2015. Jamie grew up type A, organized to a T, and Fillip caught the entrepreneurial bug in grade school. Together, this dynamic duo, and their team, have taken on every organizing challenge presented. From the most cluttered city in America—NYC—to some of the largest homes in Beverly Hills, and just about everywhere in between. Years later, after graduating from Parsons The New School for Design in New York City, Roxy accepted a position as a trainee at Belk Corporate and embarked on what she hoped would be a successful career as a fashion buyer. Despite gaining valuable retail experience, she realized cubicle life wasn’t enough. Committed to starting something of her own, inspired by her family’s story, and empowered by her corporate training, she returned to her roots. In August 2011, Roxy took to e-commerce and launched her very own furniture line, Society Social. Designed with everyday gatherings and celebrations in mind, Society Social’s colorful collection of furniture has since caught the eye of tastemakers including HGTV, Traditional Home, Architectural Digest, Southern Living, Real Simple (of course), among others. Roxy has also made appearances on national TV and hosted her own pilot Carolina Reno for HGTV. Rebecca is also the author of the best-selling design book, Living With Pattern: Color, Texture, and Print at Home ($35; barnesandnoble.com), where she demystifies how to use pattern, a design concept that often confounds and confuses, demonstrating how to seamlessly mix and layer prints throughout a house. In her highly anticipated second book, Living With Color ($35; barnesandnoble.com), Rebecca explains how to create a color palette, teaching readers to find what resonates with their personal aesthetic and bring the magic of color into their homes. Inspired by the vast array of apartment and home styles, she loves the challenge of making New York spaces more efficient for family living and the ever-changing energy of the design industry. Kate’s background in fine arts and furniture design has bred a love of creating design details and material combinations in her projects. She’s passionate about finding inspiration in nature and vintage designs that add a depth and unique perspective to her work. In 2016, he moved to Portland to launch his own design firm. Max has designed suburban homes, estates on the historic registry, beach mansions and beach shacks, log cabins, a ski bum hideaway, winery tasting rooms in Oregon and California, a hipster dental office, retail stores, a podcast studio, an airstream trailer, and a food truck for a local burger brand. Max is currently working on the designs for a converted barn on the property of an apple orchard and refreshing a 140-room hotel built in the 1930s on the central Oregon Coast. Max also has a line of American-made wool rugs and will be a launching a wallpaper collection this year. As an early team member at Etsy, Dayna has seen the site grow from its early days to now include more than 2.7 million active sellers. She has expertise across a multitude of categories of handmade and artisanal items, from home decor to fashion and accessories and more, and loves providing tips to shoppers on how to find unique pieces that speak to their personal sense of style. Her first foray into design was at 14 years old when she was inspired by the popular show Trading Spaces to pull up the wall-to-wall carpeting in her bedroom, revealing the unfinished hardwood floor underneath (much to her parents’ chagrin). Since then, she’s been bending the rules of rental decorating in apartments around NYC and Brooklyn. She’s a firm believer in the power of paint, loves maximizing small spaces, and is a fan of all things handmade and nature-made.
