Pierce & Ward on Collecting Vintage and Designing With Intuition

Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward aren’t afraid to push boundaries.

The design duo, who have built a stellar reputation designing celebrity homes from Leonardo DiCaprio to Kate Hudson and Dakota Johnson, thrive on taking design risks—and have a lot of fun doing it.

Their layered interiors always feel cozy, quirky, and collected over time—a mix that feels part Hollywood and part rock’n’roll. On top of an impressive roster of A-list clients, Louisa and Emily have written a book, made the AD100 list, opened a storefront in Los Angeles, and launched a homewares line, which you can find on The Expert. 

We’ll dig into their go-to paint trick, their no-fear approach to buying vintage, the controversial color they can’t get enough of, and much more—let’s get into it.
