For the first time ever, the people who create the fabulous interiors of TV shows and films will get their own awards – “ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME magazine’s’ Best-Dressed Rooms in TV and Film Awards” – with nominations being released today.
“A well-executed, well-dressed set is tantamount to a starring role. It’s richness and authenticity is integral to creating a mood, a place in time that commemorates the ensemble.” says Amy Sneider, Founding Editor-In Chief of ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME.
“Because we are spending so much time indoors, we’re all talking about what TV shows to watch and ways to redecorate,” founder of FlowerPowerDaily.com, Jill Brooke, a former CNN entertainment correspondent and ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME digital contributing editor. It was Brooke who championed the idea of adding the floral designer category.
For the next two months, until the winners are chosen on April 22, ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME will showcase the nominated production designers, set decorators and floral designers as well as examine design details the judges liked across all media platforms.
On aspiredesignandhome.com, each nomination category will have a story written about it and conclude with a “Shop That Look”column provided by set decorator Beth Kushnick so the public can recreate similar looks of their favorite TV shows and films as well as a voting option for ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME’s audience of more than 1 million readers.
In addition, the Elsie de Woolfe award will honor lifetime achievements and nominees this year include Anna Pinnock, Bill Groom, Jane Musky and Stephen Hendrickson. De Wolfe is considered the founder of professional interior design.
“Celebrating and acknowledging all the talents who create production design and the sets is long overdue,” says Melinda Ritz, who designed the set for “Will and Grace.”
Judges include set decorators Beth Kushnick (“The Good Fight,”) Lydia Marks, (“Sex and the City” movies) and Melinda Ritz (“Will and Grace,”) as well as decorators for celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Seacrest, Robin Wright and Queen Latifah.
