A closer look at this year’s judges:

California designer Jeffrey Alan Marks may be known for his star role on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators, but his inclusion in House Beautiful’s list of the most influential decorators in American history and Elle Decor’s A-List demonstrate his expertise. His numerous Hollywood clients and prominent projects are published regularly by major shelter magazines.

Marks’ numerous collaborations include collections with Kravet, Palecek and A. Rudin, with a bedding collection debuting this year. His book, The Meaning of Home (Rizzoli), chronicles 15 of his firms’ projects, from a Malibu beach house to a London townhouse.

Bobby McAlpine, the quintessential Southern architect and a member of the Architectural Digest AD 100 list, holds both architecture and interior design degrees and has crafted a timeless and poetic style of architecture termed “The Inheritable House.” He founded his architecture and interior design firm, McAlpine, 33 years ago, and has offices in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and New York.

McAlpine is the author of the best-selling book, The Home Within Us (Rizzoli), and co-author with designer Susan Ferrier of The Art of the House (Rizzoli). McAlpine’s work has been published in The New York Times, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, House & Garden and a host of other publications. His furniture collections are through Lee Industries, McRae Designs, and Elegant Earth.

San Francisco designer Jay Jeffers, a member of Elle Décor’s A-List, has a home accessories collection for Arteriors, with an expanded collection of furniture, accessories, and lighting debuting this year. His work has been published in House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Departures, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other publications.
