Wayfair Professional members shared hundreds of stunning images from their portfolios in hopes of impressing three industry-leading judges and becoming one of our 2021 Tastemaker Award winners.

“The 2021 Wayfair Professional Tastemaker Award winners are a particularly resilient group of designers and business owners who delivered world-class projects across various industries while managing the uncertainties of last year,” said Margaret Lawrence, vice president of Wayfair Professional.

This year’s judges have an impressive collective resume. Our first judge is Hadley Kelly, digital director of House Beautiful. Also one of this year’s judges is a former Tastemaker Award winner herself: Galey Alix Gravenstein of Galey Alix Design. Last but not least, our third judge is Nigel Maynard, editor in chief of Custom Builder Magazine and Products.
