Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Chicago, IL

Darl Grooters Ltd
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 July 2015
“We worked with Darl on a project in Naperville in 2014. His designs turned what was already a luxury home into a show stopper. His ability to create spaces with a warm and inviting feel really sets him apart from other designers whose work we have seen upon work completion. His sense of style and ability to integrate the best colors and fabrics also stood out in the home. We highly recommend him to other professionals in the Houzz network! Joe Barrett Barrett's Technology Solutions Naperville”

ModlifeHome
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 September 2013
“Robert from Modlife has an incredible eye for finding stunning Mid-Century pieces. He also has the ability to pick furniture pieces and "recreate" them with updated fabric. I have purchased Mid-Century chairs from Modlife and also had him create ones that we could not locate in order to match the rest of our furniture. He is easy to work with and super creative!”

Laurel Feldman Interiors, IIDA
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 June 2014
“Laurel Feldman was the interior designer and detail "go-to" person on our project. The project included gutting and re-designing the kitchen and decorating the living room, dining room and entry hall. Some of the new design consisted of opening walls in both the living room and dining room and creating a space where the kitchen is open and it all flows from one room to another. Laurel also designed a wall of built-in cabinets for the living room along with cabinetry and shelving for the dining room. She was also involved in re-designing the lighting, new flooring and removing wood paneling from the entire area. And of course...after all that...Laurel chose paint colors, wallpaper, light fixtures, furniture and accessories for our new space. Her knowledge and attention to detail enhanced all the choices she brought to us...always listening to what we wanted and making sure our thoughts balanced with the look we were envisioning. Laurel was able to help us use all our personal things that we wanted to exhibit and make our traditional favorite things work in our new mid-century modern space. She also helped us accessorize by picking some new items that soon became as comfortable to us as if we owned them forever. It was this personalization of finishing the project that made the difference. She envisioned the outdoors and surrounding ravines of our property as being part of the decor and helped us bring the outside indoors for us. It is a pleasure to come home every single day to the space that Laurel helped us create!”
Queen Bee Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 March 2014
“I have worked with Laura since we bought our house 8 years ago. She has done an amazing job at helping us decorate to our tastes -- but at least 10x better than we could have done on our own. She's helped us understand the space, what furniture will fit in it, the colors that will work best, etc. I think she's actually saved us money because every choice is well thought out -- we do not have to later discard items that do not fit or that do not coordinate well. Laura is very efficient and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Stephanie Kaslow Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 December 2023
“Stephanie is not only an incredible interior designer but also very easy to work with. She was so thoughtful with all of her ideas and recommendations throughout our projects— it was very clear she listened to all of our needs! She is communicative and helpful and we came to really value all of her opinions. We've worked with her on several different home projects and will absolutely be using her for any future projects, too. I highly recommend working with Stephanie!”
Michelle's Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2013
“We hired Michelle to help us redesign our master bath and are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We wanted to create a spa like setting complete with a larger shower, luxury whirlpool and other creature comforts that women enjoy. Michelle came up with a stunning design that involved some changes of moving a wall, adding pocket doors and relocating some of the plumbing. Her plan included all the materials to be considered for the project and paint colors. We love the whirlpool that is large enough for two and has these fancy lights that change colors as the pool is on. Her design incorporated the existing master bedroom and she helped us with some ideas there also. Michelle is very creative, full of energy and an absolute joy to work with. There are many great designers in Chicago and she is definitely in that elite group of designers.”
Dual Concept Design
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 August 2018
“Dual Concept Design has been a pleasure to work with. We have done number of projects with them and they are very professional team to work with. Our most recent work was with Paulina Cervantes who came to us with a very clear vision as to the design, color and concept she was looking for. Seeing the rugs, they chose, in the completed space was outstanding. Congratulations with your completed design.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Chicago may be offered in different ways, including hourly rates, fixed fees, or a percentage of the project’s total cost, which will vary depending on the project itself. Interior design costs can range from £50 to £200 per hour, or a fixed fee between 5% and 20% of the total project cost. The key thing is to be very clear about your budget and your scope from the start, to ensure your designer can advise you on what is achievable. And remember, their contacts will probably save you money. A contingency fund of 10-15% is also recommended, especially if open-ended structural work is involved.
When considering hiring an interior designer, you can ask the following:
  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.
  • Design Process: Gain insights into the designer’s project approach, design philosophy, preferred style, and how they incorporate client preferences. Review their Houzz portfolio to evaluate their design style and compatibility with your tastes.
  • Scope of Services: Inquire about the interior designer’s services, including project management, material/furniture sourcing, and whether they offer full-service design.
  • Budget and Timeline: Discuss your project budget and the designers capability to work within it. Ask how they handle unexpected delays & additional costs.
  • Testimonials: Seek references or testimonials from past clients to assess client satisfaction. You can find these easily on Houzz from other homeowners that have used this pro.

What’s the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


These two closely related professions are often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences to be aware of before deciding which to hire. An interior designer, sometimes known as an interior architect, can run full renovation and structural design projects, and will use specialised knowledge of interior architecture, construction systems and components, building regulations, materials and furnishings to arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies are able to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors, from initial planning phases to placing the last decorative accessory. A decorator on the other hand will typically be involved only in the aesthetic layer, the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators normally come on board after all structural work is complete. So choose your Chicago, IL interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Chicago, IL?


They say life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring and lighting. A professional interior designer in Chicago, IL can save you bags of time, stress and months, if not years, of living in a half-finished home. It’s their job to stay on top of the latest trends and to have contacts and visual references coming out of their ears. Interior designers can also save you money, by sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right Chicago, IL interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Chicago, IL on Houzz. Keep a lookout for images of rooms and features that you really like and save them to your Ideabooks to begin to develop an understanding of your own style and taste. If you notice that photos from the same interior design companies are popping up regularly then that is a good hint that they could be your perfect design match. You can feel most confident if you hire an interior designer or interior design company in Chicago, IL that has completed work similar to the look and feel that you desire, whether that is a mix-and-match lounge oozing mid-century modern style, a pale and interesting minimalist bedroom with shots of colour, or a beautiful space inspired by Scandinavian design.

You may want to check if your designer is a member of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) or The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). Both are a benchmark of quality and reliability. And check if your interior designers can offer you the right type of service – some companies are design only, while others can oversee the whole project. If it is the latter that you seek, make sure any sub-contractors used are fully accredited and it is clear who they are supposed to report to. If late alterations are made to the plan, the contractor should receive a change order, thus minimising the risk of a dispute about what was and wasn’t agreed to after the start date.
