Samuel Botero
Truly one of the nicest big-name interior designers in the industry - and a shining light in the New York City design scene - is Samuel Botero. Besides a wonderful temperament, he has true skill with color, getting the bones of a space right, and moving clients into good purchases. As you'll see in this Architectural Digest video interview, Mr. Botero's humility and sincerity is evident. We second his advice for clients to buy at least one really good piece per room - something you're really pushing hard to afford, but will later never regret purchasing - and to support young artists' work that really resonate with you.
