Interior Design in Chicago

“Diane came to the house and laid out a beautiful plan for my master closet. A month later Fernando came out to install the new shelving. He did a fantastic job and explained how to adjust shelves etc. The closet looks clean, beautiful and high end. It was a pleasure to work with Diane and Fernando.“

“We had a great experience with Custom Life Closets and would recommend them to anyone. Cameron spent a lot of time with us initially to figure out the design of two closets we wanted to redo.
The installation team did a great job and what I appreciated, is that they cleaned up really thoroughly afterwards. You would have had no idea we had two days of construction going on at our home.
The hall and primary bedroom closets look great and feel so much larger now.“

“I had the opportunity to collaborate with Moderne Living on interior design projects, and I appreciate their range of furniture, including an extensive portfolio of high-end bathrooms and kitchens, which offered excellent options for my contemporary design endeavors. Through their guidance, I partnered with esteemed Italian suppliers REXA and CUT, and together with Krista and the team at Moderne Living, we were able to bring exceptional products and bespoke solutions to my projects. I'd like to extend my appreciation to Krista, a passionate designer, and Rae, the store owner, who is very professional, detailed, and knowledgeable. Their dedication to design is evident, and they were supportive partners in exploring solutions. I appreciate the collaboration and look forward to future opportunities to work together.“

“Michael and his team recently completed a full remodel of my condo bathroom including shower, tile, flooring and glass installation. Overall I am very happy with the final result. The bathroom looks much more modern and updated and the shower/glass came out especially well.

I am a fairly handy person myself and was honestly nervous about having someone else do the work, but the team did a great job. They worked hard, put in full days, were respectful of the building and surprisingly quiet throughout the project, which I really appreciated in a condo environment.

Communication was good throughout the project and pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received. Overall, I would recommend them for bathroom remodeling work.“

“This team is AMAZING from start to finish. Super professional, easy to communicate with, and genuinely fun to work with. They were thoughtful about every detail and offered great ideas that truly elevated the final result.

If you’re considering a home renovation, look no further. I would 100% recommend this team.“

“Bill and his team are the very best. They are professional, great craftsman and also honest. They remodeled our kitchen and two bathrooms, which turned out beautifully! Also, Bill and his team are very patient with particular and indecisive clients, plus with children running around ?. Thanks Bill!“

“Oh boy! Where to even begin!? Michael and team have been an incredible asset in providing a sense of light and warmth in the office for which I work. They were the first vendors that I got the chance to work with, and after 5 years of working together, have been the most consistent, reliable, and communicative of the bunch. I can't sing their praises loud enough. Couch House is an essential Chicago staple and we are so lucky to have them in this city!“

“After 32 years in our house, we were wanting to remodel our kitchen and had no idea where to start. Adina listened carefully to what mattered to us, helped us discover our style, and then delivered a design that far exceeded what we imagined. Every time I walk into the space, it feels like a little gift to ourselves. Our kids say it looks like something from a magazine, and I couldn’t agree more. Adina’s eye for design and her ability to make the process seamless made the experience such a joy.“

“I absolutely love working with XCED! As someone who works in construction, I dreaded my own reno... then I met Chelsey. She is a breath of fresh air - reliable, relaxed and detailed. Collaborating with her is a dream!
Her team was ON IT - checking in and reminding me of things I needed to respond to keep the schedule moving and on time.
Their showroom includes my favorite vendors for wallpaper and textiles, which was a major bonus - no perusing around the Merchandise Mart for multiple days to make a decision.
I found XCED's team of contractors kind, thoughtful and also reliable (a running theme).
Could not be happier! I will be recommending XCED from here on out!“

“Had the best interaction when I stopped with the Scottsdale showroom with Rhonda, we are looking to remodel a bathroom she was kind, knowledgeable, and up front about what was possible for the project and what we may run into. Looking forward to the next stages of our project.“

“Have good experience with Competitive Woodcraft
Done many projects
I recomend a good service cabinets, doors, fire rated doors, shelves and more.“

“Great communication throughout the project! Amazing quality and installation team. Travis and team have done 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, hardwood floors and a rebuild of stairs for me over the last 15 years. I would not go anywhere else! Great products and pricing!“

“As an architect, I have worked with many contractors of different sizes and calibers. I chose Mahogany Builders for my personal renovation project, and I can attest to their craftsmanship, professionalism, and care. I am very happy with the results of the project and enjoyed working with their team.“

“Natalia and her team recently completed both design consultation and construction services for me, and I highly recommend her for all services! She has a great eye for design but ensures she listens to her clients to reflect their vision. Her construction team is beyond professional, timely, and most importantly did a very quality job! Thank you Natalia!“

“We were impressed with their work. The craftsmanship during kitchen remodeling was top-notch, and the kitchen cabinets have transformed our space completely.“

“Perfect interior paint job. Great guys. Can't imagine having a better experience. I bought a 3-flat and moved into the top-floor. The walls were bubbling in places, dirty, and hadn't been painted in years. I thought about painting it myself, but thought better of it because it looked like I'd have to do every room. Anyway, I didn't want to pay a lot, but I also didn't want a shit job done--I would be living in the place for at least a few years. A friend recommended these guys. They came out to give us a consultation on the colors right away. I thought they did a great job of using our suggestions without letting us make aweful decisions. I think that's probably a pretty difficult thing to pull off; you wouldn't expect painters to have that much tact. Long story short, the colors they helped us pick out were perfect. They did a perfect job in about a day, and they probably gave us the best price we came across. I haven't worked with a lot of painters, but I can't imagine things going better. They might not do huge commercial jobes but for our purposes (3-bedroom 1200sf condo) they were incredible.“

“I loved Krista from the minute I met her! I wanted to add a bathroom to our ranch and she came out to the suburbs to see if it could be done. Although I didn’t go through with the project at the time, I would most definitely hire her for any future project.“

“A truly talented team with a passion for cultivating beautiful and functional designs. Mesonart highly recommends Design Seed Inc for their creativity, professionalism, and top-tier quality!“

“We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience working with Himsben Design Studio. Over the past year, we tackled a comprehensive, multi-phase renovation on our property that involved everything from a complete front porch and back deck rebuild to custom landscaping, pergola installation, and lighting.

Ben and team didn’t just execute a construction plan; they listened to our vision and transformed our property in a way that finally makes our house feel like home. We have gained so much more usable space for our family to enjoy, creating an environment that feels like a true extension of our living space rather than just an outdoor project.

What sets Himsben apart is the balance of creative design and expert project management. They navigate the complexities of large-scale construction—including city permits and inspections—with transparency, always keeping us informed. They were incredibly collaborative throughout the entire design process as we tweaked plant palettes to manage local wildlife or obsessed over blending modern touches with a turn-of-the-century home.

Every detail, from the custom louvered pergola and automated screens to the thoughtfully layered plantings and smart lighting systems, feels intentional and high-quality. If you are looking for a design-build team that is talented, reliable, and deeply committed to the success of your project, we highly recommend Himsben Design Studio.“

“Alyssa was an invaluable resource. She helped us re-imagine our living and dining room with new furniture . We are grateful for her design insight and attention to detail. We ended up with a layout and fabrics that look far superior to what we would have chosen ourselves, but still match our style.“

“I've worked with Paul at The Container Store on three custom closet projects over the past few months, and I can't recommend him enough. He is incredibly thoughtful, patient, and truly listens to what you're looking for. He took the time to understand my needs, offered creative design solutions, and somehow managed to make everything come together perfectly. His attention to detail and collaborative approach made the entire process enjoyable. THANK YOU!!!“

“Working with Amy at the German Kitchen Center, we had a fantastic experience! The GKC provides interior design as part of the experience. This helped us unlock our vision and think through ideas with a professional. In addition, Amy recommended a contractor to do the installation, who we opted to use. Cosmin with Cosmo Development was fantastic to work with! We love our new kitchen and recommend checking GKC out if you are redesigning a kitchen. Below are the before and after pics.“

“I’ve worked with Greg and the team on multiple renovation projects through the years. They do high quality work, and are very reliable and responsive. Highly recommend“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Lugbill Designs on a major remodel of my condo, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. From start to finish, Erica Lugbill and her entire team were an absolute delight to work with—professional, creative, and incredibly detail-oriented. From our initial consultation to the final touches, Erica took the time to truly understand my vision and translated it into something even better than I had imagined. Her expertise, design insight, and ability to balance both aesthetics and functionality made all the difference. The entire team at Lugbill Designs was communicative, responsive, and dedicated to making the process as seamless as possible. Not only did they deliver stunning results, but they also made the journey enjoyable. Every aspect of the project was handled with care, from material selections to project management, ensuring everything was completed on time and to the highest standard. If you’re looking for a top-tier design firm that combines creativity, professionalism, and a genuine passion for what they do, Lugbill Designs is the best of the best. I couldn’t be happier with my remodeled space, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a design team that truly goes above and beyond!“
