Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL

Jillian Richey Design
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
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.”
Queen Bee Interiors
Interior Designers in Highland Park, 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.”
Warren Barnett Interior Design
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 February 2014
“The professional service I received from the staff at Warren Barnett was 5 star from start to finish. They guided me through designing and furnishing my entire dining room. They also helped me polish a look I was trying to go for in a few of my other rooms. I can't wait for my next dinner party to show it all off to my friends.”
Phillip Harrison Interiors
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
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.”
ANAHITA Studio
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2022
“We loved working with Ana. She gave us a great consultation on our kitchen remodel. We had a constrained budget; however, Ana was incredibly accommodating to our needs and budget restrictions and gave us great suggestions for cabinet color, countertop material, appliance/fixture sourcing, and furniture (bar stools) selection that integrated perfectly with our desired aesthetic. We were able to execute her design suggestions easily with her guidance and everything ultimately came in within budget to our delight. The final result is a very clean, modern kitchen that we absolutely love! We were so pleased with her work that we asked her to help us with remodeling our tenants kitchen downstairs. She chose neutral but modern colors and helped us choose countertops that would be durable without compromising style. She has a very good eye for clean, modern spaces that are functional and attractive, and she is good about listening to your requirements and proposing designs that work for your needs. I highly recommend working with her.”
Christie Kenny Interiors

“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.”
Tory Day Interiors
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 February 2017
“I had worked with Tory Day before so when I needed a designer to remodel my bathroom, I immediately thought of her. She listens to what I want, finds samples for me to review, coordinates with the contractors, and checks on progress/resolves issues along the way. She is great at choosing reliable and knowledgeable vendors to work with too. The work went flawlessly, quickly, and the result was fantastic. I will use her again this year when I redo my other bathroom.”
Esslinger Design Company
Interior Designers in Highland Park, 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.”
Amy Kartheiser Design
Interior Designers in Highland Park, 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.”
Impeccable by Meredith Park
Interior Designers in Highland Park, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 October 2015
“Meredith is an amazing designer. It is apparent she loves her job. She understood my style, my needs and my budget. When I wanted an item that did not fit into my budget, she found a way to make it fit or explained to me why this would put the project over budget and found alternatives when necessary. She designed our rental condo unit in the city, which was a clean slate and our new offices for my market research company. I always felt comfortable expressing my opinion and she was always quick to change out an item if I expressed doubt about it. I believe using Meredith actually saved me money while still achieving my goals and meeting my deadlines. I can't wait to work with Meredith on my next project-a basement design.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Highland Park 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.

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 Highland Park, IL interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Highland Park, 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 Highland Park, 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 Highland Park, 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 Highland Park, 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 Highland Park, 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.
