Joanna Gaines
Could we possibly create a list of top interior designers without adding the farmhouse queen herself, Joanna Gaines? It’s been less than a decade since Joanna and her hammer toting husband took over our televisions with Fixer Upper. Her name has become synonymous with shiplap and Waco, Texas. Her style can be described with many words – classic, simple, fresh, cozy, rustic. Metallic hardware and light fixtures add industrial touches to the farmhouse motif she embodies in her designs. Farmhouse interior design may or may not be your thing, but there is no doubt that when someone makes a list of interior designers, Joanna Gaines is at the top.

Nate Berkus started his award-winning design firm at 24 years old with the motto, “I believe your home should tell your story. What you love most is collected and assembled in one place.” After regularly appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, this top interior designer became a bestselling author and has starred in several television shows of his own. He has perfected his art of interior design by featuring neutrals and warm tones in an elegant, modern-traditional styling, but he isn’t afraid to add pops of color. This photo from one of Nate’s Seattle home designs seamlessly shows how to arrange two sofas in one room.
