When did you realize that you wanted to become an interior designer?
This moment was fully realized when I narrowed down what makes me absolutely happy, even if I did it for free. Without any formal training, I decorated for several years at my own expense, because I believed there was no way I could make a living from it. I only yearned for more knowledge of the design trade. After several points of feedback, I realized it was an innate ability, inspired by my mother who kept her home beautiful and fresh.

Winner: Chris McKenry, Closets by McKenry, Tennessee
While designing the stunningly organized master closet, the home owners needs were considered, as well as the craftsman style of the home. The footprint of the master bath and closet was flipped for this remodel, giving a larger bath where two small closets once were, and the new master was expanded into a large 175 square-foot room where the bath was located.

We have reached out to some designers who excel in home office design for some advice on how to set up your work from home space for productivity, normalcy and, of course, comfort.

When Emily Adams Bode and Aaron Aujla first moved into their downtown Manhattan rental, it was just an empty white box — no kitchen, no walls, barely any electrical wiring. However, the one winning feature, a wood-burning stove, was enough to spark their imagination. "When friends come over, they don't understand that we built all of this," Bode says on a recent visit to the apartment.
