The goal was to produce a list of authentic tastemakers in the U.S. whose rooms reflect the passions of ELLE DECOR\u2014high style, serious comfort, snappy ideas\u2014and whose innovative approach to the art of decoration will be studied for generations. We&amp;#039;ve also included a shortlist of five up-and-coming interior designers we think are on their way to influencing the way you live, emerging talents you might not have heard of yet but whose intriguing spaces promise bright futures. These lists are only the beginning, however. Here you will find more information on each of these 30 in our new Designer Registry, as well as our selection of design&amp;#039;s Grand Masters, those talents whose work is already so prominent and influential that their status is unquestioned.
