" Best friends Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward share a knack for making the eccentric feel utterly chic \u2014 and they&amp;#039;re bringing their obsession for collecting to boundary-pushing interiors in Nashville, Los Angeles and beyond. Rock stars, take note.  &amp;quot;Our rooms aren&amp;#039;t overly pretty,&amp;quot; says Louisa Pierce of design duo Pierce &amp;amp;amp; Ward. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re a little dark, a little weird.&amp;quot; And that&amp;#039;s what makes them interesting. Pierce and Emily Ward met at a Manhattan speakeasy and bonded over a shared addiction to interiors; now, they&amp;#039;re household names for the Hollywood-Nashville creative set, with actress Brie Larson and musician/model Karen Elson as clients. The self-taught pair&amp;#039;s secret? Infusing spaces with vintage finds that immediately give a room soul. &amp;quot;Clients text us a week after they move in and say they feel like they&amp;#039;ve lived there a decade,&amp;quot; Ward says. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the highest compliment.&amp;quot;  See something here you like?
