Secrets from a Stylist

Design Star winner Emily Henderson styles out a living room in the new home of newlyweds Bobby and Hillary who live in the Hollywood Hills. Having gained a thorough understanding of their diverse interests and tastes, Emily redesigns their living room in two layers, each with a style all its own. Emily's first look has a glamorous luxurious flare that she calls Hollywood Regency. The final look combining both looks is called Hollywood Country Club.

Emily helps the Ravals, an artsy Culver City family, find form and function while also reflecting their free spirited style. A quick tour of the family's space and a style diagnostic are all Emily needs to get started. Her first look is all about 60s chic. Clean lines, calming colours, and mid-century modern furnishings create a cozy yet stylish environment for this busy family to unwind in after a long day. For her second look, Emily draws inspiration from the Ravals' creative, color-friendly lifestyle as she incorporates elements of bohemian charm in to the space.

Emily helps the Chos create a cozy and chic environment in their cavernous living room. A tour of the home and a style diagnostic reveal a clashing of design tastes. Emily identifies the differences and offers to help the pair find semblance in their space, one layer at a time. Emily's first look aims at perspective rather than good taste as she transforms the Chos living room into an over-the-top artsy pink palace; showing design dominant Joy Cho why two styles are better than one. With the drama out of the way, Emily makes room for her final look, which combines a more subdued version of Joy's artsy personality with elements of her husband Bob's slightly mysterious, minimalistic sensibilities.

Emily helps the Muzio's liven up their extra large loft. A tour of the space and a style diagnostic confirm this playful pair will need something that combines whimsy with workmanship. Emily's first look is a kitschy, 50s inspired space with bright colors, bold patterns and multi-functional vintage furnishings. Her second look makes use of raw materials and a few architecturally unique finds to highlight the old-world charm of this historically significant home.

Emily helps the Osbornes combine southern romance with a bit of Scottish country charm. A tour of the home and a style diagnostic determine what two styles will work best in this quaint, family-oriented space. Emily's first look is inspired by Clarke's Southern upbringing. Soft, clean lines, light colors, and airy fabrics create a romantic ambiance, while structured, stark white furniture gives the room a bit of edge. Emily's final look draws from Nick's more traditional style sense. Casual, comfortable fabrics, and rustic craftsman furnishings give the room a modern country feel. A few Scottish accessories round of what's sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Emily helps the Carters combine their clashing styles into one clean and contemporary look. A quick tour of the home and a style diagnostic determine this newlywed couple is a combination of Chic Boutique and Rustic American. With a concept in mind, Emily re-styles the Carters living/dining space, layer-by-layer. Her first look is inspired by the sophisticated feel of a boutique hotel. Clean lines, glossy textures and low-level furnishings create a sleek and savvy environment for this trendy young pair. For her second look, Emily incorporates a few rustic, colonial-style furnishings for a warmer, more all-American feel.

Emily helps the Gaines revive their Spanish style home with a modern twist. Lauren and Andre Gaines are a fun and funky Los Angeles couple who've recently purchased a beautiful, Spanish style home that seems to have lost a bit of its character. A tour of the space and a style diagnostic conclude Lauren and Andre are both partial to modern, organic designs. Since the Gaines have similar tastes, Emily decides to use the architecture of their home as the inspiration for the first layer of this redesign. Her second layer integrates the Gaines' fresh and earthy aesthetic.

Emily helps a couple of friends create a beach-chic guesthouse for all to enjoy. Josh and Sarika Lichtman have been struggling to outfit their Santa Monica guesthouse for a few years now and, with a baby on the way, they'd like Emily's help getting the place together before the parade of family and friends show up! They envision a stylish, multifunctional, living/working/sleeping space but merging their very different tastes has proven to be quite the challenge. A tour of the space and a style diagnostic reveal these soon-to-be parents are a combination of beach-casual and classic-urban. With baby Lichtman just days from arrival, Emily quickly gets to work!
