About Stars of Design
Stars of Design indexes the working interior designers — historic and contemporary — whose published interiors have shaped how rooms get decorated. Every profile is paired with the wallcoverings that fit the designer's signature style.
What you'll find here
- Profiles. One page per designer, with era, city, signature visual language, and a one-paragraph profile of why their work matters.
- Pairings. Three to five Designer Wallcoverings collections per designer, curated to match the look — not a generic catalog dump.
- Filters. Sort and filter by era, style, or city. The grid honors a density slider and a sort menu, both persisted across visits.
How profiles are written
Profiles are sourced from publicly available material: published interviews, shelter-magazine features, monographs, and the designer's own studio site. We do not copy designer images or reproduce copyrighted material. If a designer wants their profile updated, replaced, or removed, the submission form is the path.
How wallcovering pairings are chosen
For each designer, a Designer Wallcoverings editor reviews the designer's published interiors and selects the three collections that best match their visual language — Buatta gets chintz, Vervoordt gets plaster, Hicks gets hexagonal geometric. The link sends you to the relevant collection page on designerwallcoverings.com for sampling and quotes.
Who runs this
Stars of Design is an editorial sister property of Designer Wallcoverings, a Sherman Oaks, California–based wallcovering and textile dealer. We do not represent a single line; we map the designers who shape interiors across every line.
What this directory is not
- Not a portfolio site — we do not host designer images.
- Not a hire-a-designer marketplace — we don't gate intros or charge for placement.
- Not a paid-ad surface — there is no sponsored placement above organic results.
