It's FINALLY here! "HGTV's top-rated reality competition, Design Star, returns for a dynamic sixth season. The one-hour series features 12 competitive and creative finalists executing ingenious designs, as well as an illustrious judging panel of acclaimed HGTV interior designers (Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olson and Vern Yip)." Vern says the guest judges are fabulous this year. We cannot wait to see who gets their own show. They're so cute...

Remember last year’s winner Emily Henderson? Below are a few of her Decorating Tips. She shares her favorite advice on Secrets From a Stylist.

1. The Ideal Height

“Traditionally, wall art is hung at eye level. When working with multiple pieces, like the art and antlers in this space, treat the entire composition as one piece of art and make sure the middle of the composition is at eye level.”

2. Picture-Perfect Displays

"For an eclectic collected look on bookcases, create balance without symmetry. Pepper books, objects and artwork evenly throughout the bookcases."

3. Perfect Vignettes

"Accessories look better in threes or odd numbers. Also, don't be afraid to create your vignette in the store before you buy."

4. Smart Upholstery

"If you're going to spend a lot of money upholstering something, use a neutral fabric so it'll stand the test of time. Then, add in trends, pattern and texture with pillows."
