Emily's Best Makeovers From HGTV Design Star

A color palette of charcoal grays and deep blues is combined with luxurious fabrics to represent the high-end textiles found in Tom's wardrobe, which she uses as inspiration for this room. Since his accessories always consists of a Rolex watch and cufflinks, Emily adds sophisticated metallics throughout the space in lighting, furniture and even, a simple pinstriped wall treatment.

Emily sets the scenes of her glass house by creating a focal wall with floral fabric on the back wall. Emily mixes styles, colors and patterns to represent her favorite look: eclectic, which wins her rave reviews from the judges. To create an intimate look, she adds a lot of accessories that represent personal objects she would have in her home.

For the dining room challenge, Emily and Michael design a space completely out of repurposed furnishings. They paint the ceiling a bright green to create an "intentional explosion" of color, and for her project, Emily attaches plastic flowers to a chandelier and paints the entire piece a crisp white.

For the Sears kitchen photo shoot, Emily teams up with Courtland to create a modern traditional kitchen with a subtle Italian flair. Old World-inspired granite, a Venetian wall treatment and classic neutral tile complete the look.

Emily and her teammates, Alex, Casey and Michael, must create an apartment worthy of the Trump brand. They mix modern furniture and metallic surfaces with a neutral color palette to create the luxurious yet contemporary space.

For one of her favorite challenges, Emily creates a customized FDNY coffee table with a heartwarming note written in the letters for the firefighters. Her teammates, Alex, Casey and Michael, paint murals of the city and a firefighter, as well as design a learning and working area for the New York City firefighters.

True to her natural style, Emily chooses the waxflower weed as her inspiration because of its effortless nature. The room is infused with a bohemian romantic style and a bright and cherry color palette of blues and pinks.

To create the rooftop patio, the designers are challenged with using a musical instrument as inspiration. Emily selects the tuba to inspire a place of enjoyment that someone would want to zone out in. Deep purple and modern low furniture set the scene for this relaxing patio.

In the fashion challenge, Emily selects the tailored suit to use as her inspiration. Streamlined furnishings and luxurious fabrics reflect the suit's look. A mixture of metallic and faux fur pillows contrast well with the tailored sofa.
