Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, IL

Michelle's Interiors
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, 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.”
Queen Bee Interiors
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, 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.”

“Jen is great to work with. She always has solid ideas and suggestions for my projects. Additionally, she always finds the time to work with my clients; be it an in-home consultation, creating an idea book, or sitting down for hours to go through lighting catalogs. I only have good things to say about her services and I will definitely continue to recommend her to our clients.”
Phillip Harrison Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 October 2018
“I can't speak highly enough about Phillip Harrison's services! Mark helped us with a home redesign that was more than we could have ever imagined!! His attention to detail, impeccable style, and expectation of quality was a breath of fresh air. He listened to all of our needs and desires and turned our well-loved house, into a perfectly styled and incredible home.”
Expressive Interiors by Marietta Calas
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 January 2013
“I have been working with Marietta for several years. I got connected with her through my niece who also has worked with her. She has helped me redecorate my family room, my bedroom and my bathroom. I don't have an extremely large budget and am terribly indecisive. Somehow Marietta seems to be able to work through all of that and come up with some fantastic ideas. One of the most important factors in dealing with Marietta is that I trust her implicitly. Her taste is impeccable, her vision extraordinary and her patience unending. I currently have another project on the horizon and will be using Marietta for that as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. A decision that we live with forever!!!!”
Esslinger Design Company
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“Chad was great to work with! After 8 years with a large empty stairwell wall I was so excited to work with Chad to design a picture wall. He really listened to what I was looking for and made it a reality. I truly LOVE my picture wall and so many people love it when they walk in my house. I used to see this type of wall in magazines only and love that one is in my house telling my families story.”
Elizabeth Paul Design LLC
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 September 2022
“Elizabeth Paul Design began design work on my home in mid-July 2022 with an evaluation of current furnishings followed by sending pics of various furniture. A visit to the furniture store followed about a week later. Elizabeth has displayed her enthusiasm to fulfill the project and has the capability to understand her clients needs, i.e knowing type of furniture someone may desire. Thus far, the modern contemporary style has been the goal. A fresh coat of paint and new furniture, carpet, artwork and light fixtures in the living room, kitchen and den. The project is on pace not to overwhelm financially with a few more rooms at a later date. In addition, Elizabeth has been designing the garden/landscape as the exterior my home has minimal flowers or other vegetation. She is very knowledgable on coordinating colors and style etc. to meet a flow pattern room to room or grouping of exterior flowers/shrubs. I look forward to continuing working with Elizabeth for as long as the project will take....photos will be provided or upon request.”
Wendy Nobriga, ASID
Interior Designers in Buffalo Grove, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2016
“I used Wendy to help me pick out colors, tiles, etc. when I did a complete renovation of my condo 2 years ago. She was prompt, professional and we were both on the same page. She came to my house for the initial consultation. Then she came back with the samples and told me exactly the price and where to get everything. After everything was done, she drew out 3 different layouts so that I knew where to put my furniture, since that isn’t my specialty. She measured all of my furniture and mapped it out as well as gave me a couple suggestions to add a couple things. Then as one last thing, I hired Wendy to come help me hang my pictures. Some were by themselves and some were in clusters of up to 15 pictures. Everything came out beautiful. I highly recommend Wendy. She did a great job and i could never had done it by myself. I first found her on Angie’s List.”

“Lauren is a wonderful designer. She designs rooms that are timeless and classic but up to date and fresh. I like to say that we have the same taste - but hers is better. She understands what I like but makes it much more fabulous. I have worked with her on 3 different homes, from a summer cottage to a huge city factory conversion, choosing fixtures and finishes, fabrics and furniture from the start to finish. She helping me on my fourth project now. She is very professional and wonderful to work with in every way.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Jill for a few years now. Her style and taste in decor is impeccable. Since I photograph the work she has completed for her clients, it's always a treat to see the finished images. Beyond being an extremely talented interior designer, her styling and propping talents are beyond reproach!”

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 Buffalo Grove, IL interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Buffalo Grove, 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 Buffalo Grove, 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 Buffalo Grove, 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 Buffalo Grove, 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 Buffalo Grove, 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.
