Interior Design near Clarendon Hills

“Michelle is a DELIGHT to work with and does absolutely gorgeous work. Her attention to detail is unmatched.“

“We had the pleasure of working with Dara on designing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly accommodating, always ready to listen to our ideas while offering thoughtful, practical advice. Even when things didn’t always go according to plan, she remained hands-on and proactive, stepping in to help us navigate any challenges.

What really stood out to us was how well she understood our style. She didn’t just replicate it—she elevated it, transforming our vision into something that’s both timeless and unique. Her ability to blend our personal tastes with sophisticated design elements has made our home truly one of a kind. We’re thrilled with the results so far and are so grateful for her expertise and dedication throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!“

“Working with Gretchen and her team was truly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my home. From the very beginning, they were punctual, attentive, and genuinely listened to what I was trying to express as I redesigned my entire interior living space. Gretchen’s project management and construction background give her a unique and invaluable edge in design—she understands exactly what can be accomplished within your budget and how to bring it to life realistically and beautifully.
Her experience and educational background in design and color are extraordinary, and her talent is evident in every detail. She has an incredible ability to translate ideas and feelings into a cohesive, thoughtful space. She works comfortably within your budget, designs around your existing furniture, or happily shops alongside you to find new pieces when needed.

What truly sets Gretchen apart is her patience, energy, and authenticity. She is nonstop, yet never overwhelming, and she never pushes her own style. Having worked with other designers in the past, I’ve often felt they repeated the same look without personalizing the space. Gretchen is the complete opposite—she designs with intention and creates spaces that genuinely reflect the people living in them.

From start to finish, her entire team was professional, kind, and an absolute joy to work with. There was never any pressure to purchase or select anything, but when something was needed, Gretchen always found exactly the right piece. The entire experience felt supportive, creative, and genuinely enjoyable.

A real class act in every sense. I couldn’t be more grateful—or happier—with the outcome.“

“From start to finish, our experience with TKS renovating our kitchen, mudroom and office space was terrific. The organized approach to the design process was refreshing. As the project got underway and we faced inevitable hiccups, the team was responsive and creative to solve any issue that arose to meet our expectations. We are so happy with our finished spaces!“

“Capital Renovation & Construction, inc. Completely gutted and rebuilt my hallway bathroom and I could not be more pleased. Carlos Salcedo is a hands on general contractor who continually informed me of the status of the project. Carlos worked closely with his subcontractors to communicate my requests and he inspected their work afterwards. Carlos is honest, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use Capital Renovation & Construction again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor that performs excellent work on time and on budget.“

“LaMantia was first class all the way. We cannot say enough good things about the owners, design team, and project manager, as well as the tradesmen. They did a complete kitchen remodel for us and it was done on time, with absolute quality and professionalism. We had a few small hiccups along the way, as you always do with contract work being done, but what set LaMantia apart is they stepped up immediately and resolved all of them without trying to pass the buck, or nickel and dime us. Their project manager, Mike, is absolutely incredible to work with, he's on top of everything, and he's wonderfully kind, our 4 and 5 year old little girls wanted to adopt him as their uncle, he was so awesome with them. They are honest, accountable, forthcoming, hardworking, and talented people. We have worked with other contractors in the past (basement build out, patio/outdoor kitchen, pool install), and LaMantia is BY FAR the BEST contractors we have worked with. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“I recently worked with a Chad to redecorate my entire first floor in a very tight time frame before a big party, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, Chad was incredibly easy to work with, truly understanding my vision and bringing it to life. He was highly responsive, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had along the way. Despite the time crunch, everything turned out beautifully—exactly what I had hoped for. The space looked stunning for the party, and I received so many compliments. Highly recommend Chad to anyone looking to refresh their home with style and ease!“

“Stratagem Construction did an outstanding job on our project. The craftsmanship is top notch, and every detail shows the care and pride they put into their work. The team was reliable, professional, and kept us informed every step of the way, which made the whole process smooth and stress free. They delivered on time, on budget, and the finished result is even better than we hoped for. I would absolutely recommend Stratagem to anyone looking for quality construction and a team you can trust.“

“Natalia was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, detail-oriented, and offered very competitive pricing. The railing we designed turned out beautifully, and her attention to detail really showed. Highly recommend her for any custom work!“

“Working with JoAnna has been an amazing experience so far. From the outset, her responsiveness and professionalism has been unmatched. We began our relationship with our small scale home office. We have been so happy with not only her design expertise, and the ease of communication, but her fees are incredibly reasonable. We are now working with her to complete space planning and sourcing on multiple other rooms in our home. She is also helping us replace furniture in a second home where logistics for delivery could have been challenging, but because we had JoAnna, everything has been arranged for perfectly. We highly recommend JoAnna for any project you can dream up.“

“I have used Drury for a bathroom and kitchen renovation. They always do beautiful work, very helpful, wonderful customer service. Would highly recommend them.“

“Key Interiors designed our new 17,000sqft office space with large R&D test kitchen/laboratory in 2022. The design was superb and we're thrilled with all the finishes, colors, etc. Key Interiors was present and available throughout the process. I appreciated being able to use them as a sounding board when dealing with contractors, architects, engineers, new landlord, etc. I truly felt they were "in my corner" and had my best interests at heart. The project went well, small hiccups were handled professionally and with a sense of urgency.Services: Commercial interior design“

“I have taking Julea's staging and color classes at Mainstreet Organization of Realtors and have always learned so much from Julea. I look forward to using her services in the future for my clients.“

“Chuck and his team, recommended by our real estate agent, did a fantastic job painting all the walls, doors, and baseboards in our 1,900 sq. ft. condo—in just one day! He even coordinated the installation of picture frame molding the same day so it could be painted right after. The results were excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and efficiency of their work.“

“I have worked with Mark & Mark Menna Designs for several years as an Industry partner. As someone who works with kitchen dealers across many states - I can tell you Mark & his company stand apart. Mark is a masterful designer & can design a kitchen like few others. From conversations with Mark over the years, it is evident how important each & every client is to him.“
