Watching design shows on TV channels like HGTV can help you design better spaces, says Angelia York, Top Shelf Design Awards judge and vice president of St. Louis Closet Company.
Design award programs not only offer recognition and marketing opportunities, they also highlight some of the emerging trends and the types of remodeling projects homeowners are requesting beyond closets.
A new wood industry recognition program - Best Rated Custom Woodworkers - commences next month, and will be formally launched at Cabinets & Closets Expo 2013.
