Well-edited and striking, Will’s room perfectly translates for the camera and showcases his understanding of the importance of focal points. Although much less showy than many of the other rooms, Will makes some very sophisticated and clever moves such as placing his bookcase on its side and elevating it on some stainless dog bowls. The repetitive use of white chip-and-dip plates on a black background and black egg plates on a green background, are an amazing demonstration of his ability and understanding of design principles. Letting fewer well-selected elements make his statements is an encouraging sign that Will possesses real talent.
