Recently named one of the “Top 100 Interior Designers in America” by House Beautiful, Doug Wilson is a modern day Renaissance man – a designer, author, television showman an d philanthropist. While he is perhaps best known as the “colorful” designer for his daring, high-impact rooms on TLC’s hit series “Trading Spaces,” this small-town boy turned design-phenom extends well beyond his television persona. Raised five miles outside the town limits of Broadlands, Illinois, population 350, Wilson uses the purity and serenity of his childhood home as inspiration for melding organic elements with a fresh, sophisticated and inherently American sense of style.
His contemporary design s are simple yet sophisticated , an d Wilson has packaged his expertise into a uniquely comprehensive portfolio. He has three television shows on TLC–“America’s Ugliest,” “Moving Up” and “Trading Spaces.” He recently made his dynamic home designs accessible to all with his new lighting line, Doug Wilson Illuminations and home accents line, Elements by Doug Wilson. He also published his debut design book, Doug’s Rooms, and pens a regular design column in In Touch Weekly.
Given Doug Wilson’s comprehensive portfolio, this celebrity designer is well on his way to transforming America’s homes…one room at a time.
