Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward work with a roster of ultrafamous clients (Leonardo DiCaprio, Dakota Johnson, Kate Hudson, Karen Elson, Lily Aldridge and Caleb Followill, to name a few). But the designers themselves couldn’t be more down-to-earth. Their eclectic spaces artfully blend periods and cultures, never feeling “decorated” or flashy. “Our goal when we design a home is to make it appear as though the person has lived there for a long time,” they say. “Our favorite compliment of the year was when a client told us, ‘You did everything I never knew I wanted, and it’s perfect.’ ” The dynamic duo have just completed L27, a rooftop bar and pool deck for The Westin Nashville, and are working on a monograph that promises a peek inside the starry homes within their orbit. ► Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles; pierceandwardom
