Fall 2021 One Room Challenge™ Introductions October 27, 2021by Erica Mahoney

With the arrival of autumn comes one of our favorite times of year - the beginning of a new One Room Challenge™ season! If you're not familiar with the One Room Challenge™, here's what you need to know - every April and October, twenty design influencers are selected to transform a space of their choosing in just eight weeks. Not so much a competition as it is a celebration, this event is all about inspiration, creativity, and passionate design.

This season, we're sponsoring six designers who will be incorporating our tile into their fresh spaces. Keep scrolling to learn more about each designer, plus get a special look into their design plans that are currently underway!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I'm Erica! I'm the Marketing Copywriter here at The Tile Shop. Born and raised in Minnesota, I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 2019. My favorite part of the job is getting to see the unique ways in which people express themselves through their home design/style. Personally, I'm all about the Scandinavian-minimalist aesthetic - natural wood, clean lines, and a soft color palette, please! When I'm not writing, I spend most of my time playing with my sweet pup, Winnie, and listening to true crime podcasts.
