“If you ever want design advice, don’t ask your neighbors,” designer Tiffany Brooks says. The suggestion, by someone who possesses a personal preference for rooms that are “classic with a twist,” indicates Brooks’s well-earned confidence. It makes sense. The Illinois-based designer, who studied business administration and worked in high-end residential-property management, juggles running her own business with frequent appearances on HGTV. (Interestingly, Brooks got her 2013 start on the network by winning HGTV Design Star.) Flash-forward to today, and Brooks’s growing roster of clients includes the likes of LeBron James and other superstar celebrities. tiffanybrooksinteriors.com
