With decades of design leadership under our belts, we know a thing or two about elevating emerging talent. Over the years, we’ve watched design cycle through trends, foster new ways of living, and bring permanence and a sense of place to our homes. As we celebrate 130 years of House Beautiful, we know that meeting this moment with the right roster of pros is more important than ever. This year’s fresh design stars have wowed us with their perspective, ingenuity, and ability to redefine what it means to live beautifully.

Made up of 15 impressive, soon-to-be-household names, our newest Next Wave class is redefining the rooms we inhabit, refreshing the objects we reach for, and reminding us that the spaces that hold our lives are worth obsessing over. They're cultivating impressive studios, sourcing storied antiques, hand-drawing bespoke furniture, and milking inspiration from everything from Brutalist architecture to their own childhood kitchens. What unites these design stars isn't a shared aesthetic, but rather an uncompromising point of view, a relentless curiosity, and the rare ability to make the people who hire them feel truly at home. Get to know them below, then follow their careers to watch their meteoric rise commence.
