Amy Kartheiser Design
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 January 2016
“AKD provided my wife and I with design and consultation services related to our kitchen and family room. AKD was also our resource for the general contractor we engaged, as well as the architect and cabinet maker. We could not have expected anything better. AKD exceeded our extremely high expectations. We highly recommend AKD to our friends.”

“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.”
Lakeside Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2015
“Fern is simply great. She really listens to you, works within your budget, finds you solutions and partners. She's approachable and honest. And she'd do just about anything for a client. And in the event that something's not perfect, she makes it right. For example, she helped us get some custom cushions. The day they were delivered, she took the initiative to check in and make sure everything was perfect. A few of the cushions were sized a bit awkwardly (not her fault or doing), but I told her I'd be happy to live with them a bit. She insisted on coming over to check the cushions personally, took them back to the fabricator that day and got us new, perfect cushions in less that four days. Amazing. And honestly, it was a minor detail I'd never have even bothered about. That's what you want in a design partner. We'll be working with her again for sure!”

“Christie is so nice to work with and did a wonderful job helping with me set up our house while we are listing it for sale.”
Jennifer Harris Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 December 2012
“Jennifer helped us select paint colors and window treatments (blinds and draperies) for our new condominium. For the window blinds, she worked with the manufacturer's rep to ensure measurements were accurate and then, upon arrival of the blinds, managed the installation process. She also quickly handled one unexpected problem that occurred, saving us the headache! The move was a challenging one, but Jennifer's calm demeanor, attention to detail AND commitment to ensuring that we realized any cost savings that we could, made our experience a delightful one. We were VERY pleased with the results and would highly recommend her to others.”
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.”
Jillian Richey Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 December 2016
“I hired Jillian to do my entire house - from paint color and lighting to furniture position and she did it beautifully! She has excellent taste and I have recommended her to several friends.”
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.”
Eva Quateman Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 April 2013
“In 2008 we made the decision to sell our home and move into a new-construction condo in the city. The actual move happened in 2012, so we had the pleasure of working with Eva Quateman and her team over the course of a few years. Eva did a fabulous job of helping us select which pieces from our home to update and take with us and also finding different uses for some of our favorite pieces. For instance, she suggested we use our antique secretary in the master bedroom as a TV cabinet. Because we bought new construction, Eva helped us finalize our floor plans and finishings with the developer. She suggested some changes, such as adding a wall between our kitchen and great room resulting in more kitchen cabinet space and a formal dining area vs. a counter area. Eva recognized our traditional decor preferences, and she selected fabrics, furniture and finishings that coordinated well with our antiques to create a beautiful and comfortable new home. Eva and her team were professional, friendly and attentive. It was an enjoyable experience working with the Eva Quateman team, and I would highly recommend Eva Quateman Interiors!”
Callahan Interiors
Interior Designers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 April 2014
“Amazing, amazing, amazing! Carly Callahan did an incredible job turning our incomplete mudroom / storage area into a beautiful, and super organized, office space. She was a joy to work with and provided creative insight that truly made the project and space my own. I would highly recommend Forest Avenue Design! Thank you Carly for making my small office into a dream space!”

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.
