Bobbi Packer Designs

Hiring bobbi packer designs was a great decision for me. I’ve never hired a designer before, but my family room project was too big for me to do on my own. I felt that bringing in a professional would ultimately save me time, effort and potentially money. I began my search for a designer on Houzz. Bobbi called me and I felt an instant connection with her. When Desi and Bobbi visited my home for initial meeting, their warm, attentive, listening, and fun personalities stood out. I knew they were the ones to hire. We shared plenty of laughs together, which made the entire process even more enjoyable and comfortable. One concern I had before hiring a decorator was the potential for high cost or feeling intimidated. I worry that a decorator might be too expensive or condescending, or perhaps dismissive of my ideas. However, these fears quickly disappeared. Desi and Bobbi were committed to working within my budget, and they respected my thoughts and feelings throughout the project. Their network of skilled professionals, including an outstanding painter and a knowledgeable electrician made the entire process, smooth and stress-free. Desi‘s dedication to the project was apparent from the start. She always responded to my questions quickly and made me feel heard and respected. I appreciated her thoughtful approach and truly enjoyed getting to know her during our time together. The transformation of my family room exceeded all my expectations. What was a dark space is now a bright, welcoming room that gives me a sense of peace. Looking back, I felt incredibly fortunate that Bobbi reached out after I liked one of her design’s on Houzz . I am so grateful for the beautiful and tranquil space they created in my home. One important lesson I learned is that redecorating a new room is a journey. Bobbi emphasized this at the beginning. I now understand that embracing the process leads to results you love. I highly recommend Bobbi Packer Designs. Best decision I made was hiring them. You should too!

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Desi from Bobbie Packer Designs for past 14 years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most talented and dedicated interior designers I have ever met. Her eye for detail, creativity, and ability to bring a vision to life are truly unmatched. Her professionalism, patience, and commitment to excellence make every project enjoyable and stress-free. I am pleased to highly recommend Desi for her exceptional expertise in interior design, particularly in the areas of plumbing fixtures, bathroom renovations, and kitchen remodeling. Her knowledge of high-quality plumbing fixtures ensures that bathrooms and kitchens are not only visually stunning but also efficient and durable. Whether selecting the perfect faucet, sink, or shower system, she always consider both style and practicality. In addition to her expertise, her design vision for bathrooms and kitchens is truly impressive. Her expertise, creativity, and professionalism makes her outstanding choice for any home renovation or remodeling project.

I worked with Bobbi Packard Designs to obtain their assistance in fabric choice for my existing furnishings in my kitchen and family room. Desi came out and was so enthusiastic, warm and extremely helpful in making color and texture recommendations along with ideas for accessories such as coordinating lamps and throw rugs. It was not a large job for their design team, but I was made to feel that it was for a million dollar project with the attention I received! I couldn't have been more pleased with Desi and her patience, knowledge, kindness and professionalism. I am a local Realtor and would be extremely confident in recommending them to my clients for their homes.

Bobbi Packer designs really helped our dream bathroom come to life! Both Bobbi and Desi went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. They were incredibly diligent in helping to keep everything at budget, and went so far as to be at the house in person whenever important work was being done by the construction crews. All of the contractors they worked with were equally as fantastic. Their tile guy was a real artist with outstanding attention to detail. And the primary contractor was very responsive to every question, follow-up and text I had. I really can't say enough good things about our experience. We love the results and will definitely go with Bobbi and Desi again when we have remodeling needs in the future.

I work at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry, formerly in advancement and now human resources. Bobbi Packer Designs replaced our old cafeteria area tables and chairs, which were pretty basic and from the early 1970s, with stylish, colorful, and comfortable chairs and tables. In addition, she rehupolstered couches and chairs that were basic government-issue from that era with colorful, comfortable, and stain-resistant upholstery for the commons areas. Everyone at the College was very pleased. I highly recommend Bobbi Packer Designs. Easy to work with and they do a good job.

Such an amazing team to work with. Bobbi Packer Designs team listened to the client and put together such amazing designs. They went out of the way to make sure the proper material was ordered for the client and involved through the whole process. I highly recommend them for your project.

Working with Bobbi Packer and Desi Guimon was easy! When taking on any decorating project, having the experience be 'easy' is about the best compliment for anyone. They examined the space (Condominium Lobby), listened to the thoughts of those involved, actually paid attention to the budget and came back with multiple wonderful and workable suggestions. We were able to see the suggested furniture and lighting items in person and make informed decisions. Desi happened to see a piece of art that she thought might work and it has pulled the entire project together. Bobbi Packer Designs would be a first-stop in the future.

Working with Bobbi was an absolute delight. We first connected at a local art festival, where she came across one of our artists' original acrylic paintings. After discussing the project with us, Bobbi expressed her client's interest in seeing the artwork in person. Consequently, we arranged a meeting to showcase the pieces for her client's consideration. Throughout the entire process, Bobbi maintained exceptional professionalism, and her support extended to both our requirements and her client's preferences. Her consistent communication left us thoroughly impressed. We are particularly thrilled that she chooses to work with local artists, which is a major plus for an interior designer. Seeking out unique works created by local artists and small family-owned businesses ensures that the artwork she adds to her projects is truly one-of-a-kind. We wholeheartedly recommend Bobbi to our clients, friends, and loved ones based on our outstanding experience collaborating with her.

We have worked with Bobbi Packer Designs for more than 30 years. Her creativity and eye for design are unparalleled. Her attention to detail, along with her artistic ability, make her unique in the architectural design field. Bobbi successfully takes the client’s vision and enhances it using her own innovate style. She goes above and beyond expectations to meet the client’s every need and the result is nothing short of spectacular!

After completing a major addition on our Highland Park home we were left with some unusual spaces that we tried to fill with furniture. It looked like a hodgepodge of new spaces and old. I doubted it could be remedied. That is when Bobbi Packer came to the resucue. Bobbi spent time looking at the space, measuring and imagining. She listened carefully to our preferences and what we hoped to achieve. That is one of Bobbi's unique talents. She is able to merge the clients needs and lifestyle with her own extaordinary artistic vision. In my case, she knew I loved the outdoors. She kept that in mind as we worked on paint colors, textures, furniture, window treatments, accents and lighting fixtures. She kept to our discussed budget and met our deadlines. The finished product was beautiful, functional, welcoming and completely ours. We our truly enjoying everything she put together for us.

I first met Bobbi Packer 35 years ago when she was recommended by a showroom at the Mart. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I were so happy with the outcome. She is very pleasant to be with and has a great knowledge of design. We wanted to be involved and she was totally accepting of our thoughts and what was really important was her understanding of our budget and needs. We had never worked with a designer before and were thrilled with the whole process. She made it very easy. She can design all styles...isn’t stuck in just one way or just her way. I worked with Bobbi again about 6 years ago in a new home. Her sense of design is beautiful. She did custom work for me ... a cabinet and wall shelves. Very unusual yet functional. I highly recommend Bobbi for the smallest of projects to building you a new home.

Working with Bobbi Packer will end up with your loving whatever she has done. She can envision and plan the space. She will work with you,; learn what you like; shop with you; and also look for things and bring them to you. She can work with what you want to keep and/or what you want new. And when it's time she comes up with the best paint colors or wall coverings that pull everything together. She also designed some furniture pieces for us that are very special. AND, Bobbi is a lovely and delightful person to work with. We can't recommend her highly enough.

My wife and I have been working with Bobbi for many years since we built our own home, On top of being probably the nicest person in the whole work, she is an incredible interior designer with wonderful taste. Additionally, she tried to stay within our budget and if there were any issues with anything we received or with any of the workmen involved with her projects, Bobbi would be quick to remedy any problems. I would highly recommend Bobbi!

I met Bobbi at her first house renovation and my first Real Estate job in Lincoln Park 25 years ago. I was so impressed with her creativity, ability to figure out what I wanted even when I wasn't sure, bringing or recommending precise contractors and workman for each job and the ability to patiently take control. We started with my first townhouse which she designed and worked with my developer to build. Despite the fact that we were limited on space, she was able to design the layout in a manner that everything I wanted worked. After working with her on my house the developer had her do models, lobbies, hallways, etc. in several of his developments. Many of these had time deadlines which were promptly met. Bobbi designed and furnished my condo in Chicago, my country house in Union Pier, Michigan, and my present home in Palm Springs. Much of the furniture originally selected as well as her custom designed furniture has been moved and fit beautifully into my different homes. I obviously love working with her and cannot imagine working with anyone else. She is incredible in her knowledge, creativity and is very upbeat. I hope you are lucky enough to work with her.

I’ve done 4 projects with Bobbi Packer Designs ,3 we’re stores of mine another my duplex apartment.my husband and we’re thrilled with what she had done, Bobbi had done all the design work and was the the contractor for these projects.It was though all my dreams came true !!!

If you’re looking for the standard HGTV designer, Bobbi Packer, isn’t for you, but if you’re looking for a timeless transformation that you can actually live it work in, there’s no one better than Bobbi Packer. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bobbi and her team on multiple projects. From renovating a master bathroom in 2007 to reconfiguring, renovating and furnishing an entire condo in 2017. She starts with getting to know you, understanding how you live, and what you like. Then she uses her unique blend of taste, style, utility, and experience to flawlessly execute the idea. I’ve come to Bobbi unsure about major decisions. Her prescription is almost surgical. One example, “I’m racking my brain on what color for floor stain, what should I do?”, then Bobbi a few seconds later “with opening up the kitchen it really does make it the centerpiece of the house, so let’s take the color tones of the cabinets, flip the ratios and do that for the stain. That way it reinforces the kitchen connecting the home”. She literally erased 3 weeks of anxiety about what stain as if she was just snapping her fingers. I had a friend who renovated their entire townhouse with Bobbi for the purpose of selling it. He put it on the market at the highest price the complex had ever seen. Ended up closing 30 days after he listed it, at $60k above list price. I’m sure there are many great designers in Chicago, but they don’t hold a candle to Bobbi and her team.

If you ever want to meet a designer that has it all, Bobbi Packer is the one for you. She is a combination of architect, electrical contractor, plumber, wood floor expert, cabinet designer and interior designer. It is extremely difficult to find all these extraordinary qualities in one person. In fact she is prominent in the design world and her work has appeared in many magazines Bobbi was with us for two projects. No matter what we thought we wanted to do, Bobbi would gently guide us in the right direction to make sure the end result was perfect. I am a hands-on person and Bobbi encouraged me to be part of the process to find furniture and fabrics. She valued my input but I trusted Bobbi’s choices over mine. Her sense of color, style, and understanding a room's spatial needs enhanced the beauty of our apartment. Every guest who enters our apartment says, “this apartment is gorgeous…who was your interior designer.? My husband and I were very pleased with the results she accomplished!! She has a delightful personality, takes seriously the wishes, needs and desires of her clients, and I would highly recommend her now and always.

My husband and I moved our outdated furnishings into our new condominium. Bobbi Packer had several in-depth conversations concerning our decorating style. She scouted out numerous potential furniture choices and accompanied us to view each selection. Bobbi contributes a strong sense of color, style, space as well as numerous contacts with carpenters and painters who serve to create a comfortable home oasis.

Bobbi Packer has been my designer for the last thirty years doing two of my houses, and continuous updates, like the amazing job she did incorporating my husbands dental collection into a room design, Her firm is talented, friendly, helpful, reliable and current in today’s trends, No request on my part is ever denigned. I love her work and would never use anyone else.

Bobbi designed a complete renovation for my Lakeview townhome, the finished result was amazing. A modern fresh look on every floor that fit with my taste and complimented my art collection. Her professionalism and design experience can’t be beat. I highly recommend Bobbi and her team.
