The experts:Tiffany Brooks, winner of HGTV Design Star, and Jordana Joseph, owner of River North–based Jorje

Governor J.B. Pritzker
JOSEPH:The color of this room is deep and serious, as a governor should be. But something should contrast it — it looks so perfectly composed and conservative. How about throwing some unexpected objects on the shelves, like a drone?
BROOKS:I’m loving the vintage photo hanging on the face of the shelf. I like to go with a glam monochromatic color scheme and incorporate vintage art into a home office like he has.

Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy
BROOKS:Looks like Jeff needs a visit from Marie Kondo more than me, but I wouldn’t mind snatching up the cool vintage rugs from beneath all that stuff.
JOSEPH:The Marimekko-style drapery is fantastic! I would guess the vintage dentist’s chair in the corner is not so comfortable, but the space’s overall composition seems so genuine and unintentional that I have to respect his family’s eclectic vision. I wouldn’t live there, but it’s got flair.

ABC-7 meteorologist Cheryl Scott
JOSEPH:Cheryl is a bundle of happiness, and the space reflects that. I love that the vibe is nautical — appropriate for a weather person. A sisal would bring in texture but maintain her home’s serenity.
BROOKS:I can’t look beyond the dog on the counter [in one kitchen shot], potentially with coronavirus on its paws.

Chance the Rapper
BROOKS:I know this sounds cliché, but with an album called Coloring Book, come on, Chance. Let me throw in more color!
JOSEPH:It looks to me like this condo is a very large hotel room. I mean, it’s lovely, of course, but way too safe. We all expect more from you!
I created my presentations based on the design vision. But I had a hard time implementing it within Powerpoint to really surprise my audience at the institute. So I’m glad I found a special team that was able to help me with that. You can also look and see linear charts example slidepeak and how cool they can make these presentations, charts and graphs. So I think if you get in that kind of trouble, you already know what to do.
