“I love that Snazzy Decal features tile stickers for a multitude of design applications that can be easily removed once the tenant moves out.

They also create custom sizes, which make it easy for homeowners to cover their entire tile.” — Designer Dana Dyson, founder of Donlena Design
“The ever-popular Liven UP Design has a cult following for good reason!

You can customize anything and everything with them for a totally bespoke piece. The sky’s the limit!” — Designer Kira Obermeier, founder and principal of Kira David Design

Whether it’s a high-end or subdued look I’m going for, the design is in the details, and finding unique hardware is one of those details.” — Designer Nishi Donovan, founder of Nishi Design Studio
“I love The Art Shop Inc. because of their beautiful oversized antique mirrors. This shop served me well during quarantine when I couldn’t get to thrift shops or local antique shops and still remains a fave.

Try them out, and you won’t be disappointed!” — Designer Nichole Samuel, founder of Goddess Interiors
