Eight designers, renovators and social media brand-builders compete in this episode of Design Star: Next Gen. Filmed in an isolated Design Hub in Southern California, the competitors are pushed to stretch their creativity and design skills in a high-stakes match. Tune in, because at the end of the season, one of these contestants will be the winner of $50,000.

Designer Chris leaned toward a Moroccan aesthetic with various natural wood, leather and jewel-tone accents to lend detail to the living room of his design lab. Ornate detailing in the coffee table, chandelier pendants and hanging tapestry helped him deliver on his vision for a classic global design.

Trim installed throughout the room was painted the same as the wall color for subtle elegance. The ornate archway also differentiated his space and demonstrated how a perceived "classic designer" could be challenged to reinterpret a space in a dramatic way.

Deep black walls and contrasting gray and cream-colored accents led the judges to describe Justin’s rooms as “absolutely sexy.” A daring chandelier adorns the living room area, while a light rug warms the space.
