"An event that stood out to me this year from a decor perspective was the Museum of Contemporary Art’s art auction in Chicago, which took place in a tent designed by HMR Designs. The decor—all stripe-on-stripe—was so simple, but incredibly fresh and bold." —Jenny Berg, senior editor

"During the N.B.A. All-Star festivities in New York in February, Nike's 'the Last Shot' installation by AKQA and production company Stardust felt like you stepped into a video game—or maybe Space Jam. It was a truly immersive experience that allowed fans to recreate two of Michael Jordan's most famous shots with a live announcer providing personalized play-by-play, crowd reactions (complete with 'boos'), and lots of throwback looks—including big mustaches and mullets for the 1982 N.C.A.A. Championship scenario." —Michele Laufik, style editor

"The interactive features at C2 Montréal, while not decor in the traditional sense, certainly stand out in my mind as some of the most visually striking things I saw all year. The Nest, the Cloud of Fog, and the chairs suspended from the ceiling were unique, eye-catching elements that all served a purpose: They created opportunities for the conference attendees to connect in unusual environments that fostered meaningful engagement." —Mitra Sorrells, technology editor
