Douglas Wilson, Designer
Doug's style mixes East Village retro-glam with a
bit of traditionalism. He's known for groovy living
lounges, risky art projects... and making homeowners
cry.
Usually seen in fitted button-down shirts and leather
pants, Doug is known for his razor-sharp quips and
working titles for every room (such as A Pretty Room
by Doug).
Some say his worst idea was putting stadium seating
in a family room.
Q: What kind of room do you prefer to design and

Q: Just wanted to say that I think you're a fantastic
designer and I look forward to watching any show you're
in. Just one question: If you could have any TS designer
design your room, who would it be and why?
A: Hildi. She would do what I told her to do!
Q: I watch Trading Spaces all the time and you are
by far my favorite designer. I was wondering which
is your favorite era in design? What inspires you?
A: Much of my influence comes from the 30's - 40's,
Jean Michal Frank and his contemporaries. Note how
often I use squares and geometrics with the combination
of wood and earth tones.
Q: Which of the other designers' work do you most admire
and why?
A: Hildi, for her classic sophistication and sexy
style.
