Interiors 4 U
Interior Designers in Palatine, IL
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars27 November 2012
“We hired Interiors 4 U to do a complete kitchen remodel. Cindy provided several optional designs and worked with us to find one that not only fit our needs, but also our budget. She also took the time help us find the best deals while still ensuring great quality products.”

Expressive Interiors by Marietta Calas
Interior Designers in Palatine, 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!!!!”
Queen Bee Interiors

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.”
Dickson Design Studio

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 August 2017
“Sharon is SO pleasant to work with. I have known her for about 12 years, and she's the real deal. She exudes confidence, and has the knowledge base to back it up. She can manipulate plant material and hardscape elements on residential, multi-family, and commercial projects with precision. She includes subcontractors (such as us) early in the process, making introductions with the client as well as all of the other professionals involved. Her selection and coordination of subcontractors ensures that we all meet client's expectations. She has a tight grasp on the realities of timeline for the other disciplines as they relate to her own, making the process easier on everyone. I would highly recommend Sharon!”
Leah Phillips Interiors
Interior Designers in Palatine, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 July 2020
“We recently did a full-blown renovation of a two-story unit in a River North high rise. Leah really takes the time to understand your aesthetic and then seamlessly guides you through the process. We were completely overwhelmed with choosing bathroom finishes, kitchen finishes, flooring, lighting, wall colors, let alone furnishing our unit and Leah was there every step of the way. She is transparent, responsive, and extremely organized and makes what could be a stressful situation fun and easy. She worked very closely with our contractor and coordinated all logistics (delivery, vendors etc.) with our building. My favorite part of the process was seeing our vision come to life. We were out of town for a few weeks and Leah managed and orchestrated the entire delivery and set up of all furniture and styling of our home. After a long trip we came home to a furnished and perfectly styled home. It was such a treat! Leah truly is one of a kind and we can't recommend her enough.”
Cynthia Brown Interior Design LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 March 2021
“Cynthia was so great to work with! We helped us plan our home remodel and walked us through all of the steps in the process since this was our first time doing such a major remodel. She is so knowledgeable about what can and cannot be done. She also provided alternative choices when we were trying to stay under budget. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great interior designer at a reasonable price. We will definitely be contacting her in the future when we finish off our basement.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 August 2017
“Alessia of reDesign Home was an absolute delight to work with! After learning about my needs, likes, and vision, she presented three ideas -- each as good as the next. Her ability to combine multiple elements in a harmonious way that feels classic yet modern and elegant yet inviting is remarkable, and I'd recommend her services to anyone. Thank you so much, Alessia!”

“VID has done several projects for us and we’ve always been very happy with all aspects of working with them. From the initial visit of measure and concept building to the last visit of installation and completion, it was a great experience.”
Wilk Design Group
Interior Designers in Palatine, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 May 2016
“After 35+ years in the same house, it was time to downsize and I couldn't have managed the task without Wendy's support each step of the way. Not only did she assist in determining which existing pieces would work in the smaller unit, she was immensely helpful in choosing the finishes for the new place, filling in with purchased pieces and the overall design and feel of my new residence. The final product allowed me to have a fresh start in a new place that immediately felt like home due to Wendy's amazing attention to detail for color, style, comfort and design. She is professional in every sense meeting both deadlines and budgetary requests. $100/hour rate was a tremendous value for the service and expertise that Wendy provided She has an innate talent for pulling together myriad layers in a space to create a warm, elegant and cohesive home that is a true reflection of its owner. It was a pleasure working with Wilk & Rusch Design Group.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Palatine 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 Palatine, IL interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Palatine, 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 Palatine, 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 Palatine, 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 Palatine, 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 Palatine, 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.
