LATimes asked several designers: "What shows will you watch for inspiration in the future?"and these 13 (5) shows were their favorites:
The Knick
"Beautiful brownstones, an opium den in a bordello and heavy Victorian furnishings make for very decadent interiors," says Schuyler Samperton. "Despite the elegance, there's always a bit of debauchery."
Peaky Blinders
"The interiors are dark and grungy — a Victorian cozy corner for Jack the Ripper done up for an American sensibility,"Louis Navarrete says of the British import crime series. "Villains always live better."
Hannibal
"A masterpiece of portraying many different periods of furniture and artwork and using blood red and electric indigo", according to Daelen Cory, co-owner of L'Esperance Design. "Now that Hannibal has fled the country, Season 3 is going to be a brand-new palette for ornate furnishings."
Empire
"It's exciting to see the luxury lifestyle that you're used to seeing on shows like 'Dynasty' interpreted for and directed to African American and Latino audiences," says Darren Ransdell of the mansions and boardrooms. "And it's a very hot show."
Suits
"It's what people fantasize about New York," says Kristi Nelson of KM Nelson Design. "A Manhattan high-rise with crazy views, contemporary Italian furniture and a nickel and glass bar cart that is drool-worthy."
