We love their enthusiasm and passion for what they do. We love their ideas. We love their selections. We love how they got us and understood our taste and direction. We came into the project with ideas but they helped us put everything together. And we could not be more pleased how everything came together in the end. We love everything about them. ### All 26 reviews **★★★★★ — William Jacobs, Feb. 2018** > Mia and her crew took the time to learn about my tastes and interests and then took me by the hand--something I needed, for sure--and developed environments that are so warm, comfortable, and perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and working when I must. They are responsive and their communication skills are top-notch. 10 stars if I could give them. **★★★★★ — Julie OBrien, March 2017** > We worked with Mia and her team on a kitchen and back of the house renovation. We are thrilled with transformation! We would not change one thing about our remodel. Mia and her team are very talented and do outstanding work! **★★★★★ — Blender Architecture LLC, Feb. 2017** > We recommended Mia to select furnishings, art and decorative objects for a new single family home in Lincoln Park, for which we were the architect. Mia immediately connected with the Owner and she and her team selected pieces that compliment and bring depth into all the living spaces of the home. She is professional, flexible, and enjoyable to work with. I especially appreciate her ability to understand and respond to the design work of the home, and to engage with and support the personality and interests of the Owner. **★★★★★ — Dawn Collins, Feb. 2017** > I highly recommend Mia Rao Design! We hired them for design and remodeling of an attic, dining room and living room. Mia is energetic, artistic and organized and her staff is responsive and reliable. She has been in the business for many years and has extensive professional contacts. From demolition to the hanging of the final picture, Mia was there to help make our home functional and beautiful. **Comment from Mia Rao Design:** > Thanks, Dawn!! You were so awesome to work with. I look forward to working with you again! Michigan house perhaps.....? :) **★★★★★ — Diana Villanueva, Feb. 2017** > Love how professional and attentive this team is!! Mia knew exactly the look I was after. She is sweet and always services with a smile. Laura was prompt and attentive to my needs. Can't wait to hire them for my 2nd floor project. **★★★★★ — archana\_chicago, Aug. 2015** > I hired Mia and her firm earlier in the year to help with the upgrades and furnishings needed for my condo. She was able to take a fairly characterless condo and turn it into a beautiful space to live in. Some of the attributes that made the experience & outcomes extremely positive were: > \* Mia takes the time to listen and understand her client's design, color preferences, budget etc. > \* She is incredibly collaborative, has high energy and easy & fun to work with. > \* She has a roster of extremely professional contractors (lighting, flooring, painters etc) who are able to deliver top quality outcomes. > \* She and her assistant designer - Robyn are extremely responsive, organized and keep the project moving. > \* Mia has a great eye for color and her design recommendations are not boxed into cliche designs - The end product is truly unique and a beauty to look at everyday. > I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Mia and recommend her strongly! **★★★★★ — emilyweber321, Aug. 2015** > Mia helped us with our house renovation and designed our kitchen and master bath. She was very experienced and was a huge help to us. **★★★★★ — Gallerie One Distinctive Rugs & Carpet, July 2015** > I have worked with Mia on many rug projects for her clients over the past 10 years. Her clients benefit from her talents as a designer and her commitment to deliver high quality merchandise and exceptional service. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. > Bernard Drzazga > Gallerie One The Designer Rug Chicago **★★★★★ — Cari Pajauskas, Dec. 2014** > We enjoyed working with Mia Roa Design on the design and decorating of our new house. My husband and I were overwhelmed when we started an entire house remodel and I relied on Mia Roa Design to create a design plan that gave us an overall direction. Mia Rao and her team are very talented and professional. We had a wonderful experience with Mia Rao Design. **★★★★★ — popsgiga, Dec. 2014** > We hired Mia to re-purpose three rooms, dining room became a parlor, my office became the dining room and the living room became my new office space. Additionally, we gave our powder room a new look. Working with Mia and her staff was a great experience. She listened to our vision for each room and was very attentive to my goals, both financial and design outcome. The primary reason for the project was to have a larger space for formal dining as we entertain often. We are so pleased with the results and have used that new space often. She was a pleasure to work with and her attention to detail was very appreciated. Each room has a personality of its own yet flows well with the rest of the house. Thanks Mia for the beautiful transformation! **★★★★★ — Saurabh Chaudhary, Nov. 2014** > I worked closely with Robyn from Mia Rao Design Inc to design / decorate my condo and I can easily say I couldn't have been more pleased. Not only does she have a great eye and impeccable taste, she is a thorough professional, is always on top of things and has great work ethic. She was somehow magically able to make sense of my vague ideas and design around them to create a truly unique look. Every time I look around, I can't help thinking with a huge grin on my face - "Yes, this is exactly how I wanted this place to look". Of'course, at times, she did have to steer me clear of some terrible ideas I had and boy, am I glad she did. Lol. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable and anything she does not already know (doubt there is much), she is able to quickly research. Simply put, I cannot recommend Robyn and Mia Rao Design enough. **★★★★★ — John Connolly, Nov. 2014** > Mia and her team were absolutely integral to my major home rehab turning out well. I had a subpar contractor and luckily Mia was there to keep things on track and get the end result I needed. Going into it, I had an idea of what I thought I wanted, but as the project developed I really ended up with something different and much better. The way she guided me allowed that to unfold with just the right amount of steering to keep it all together. It would have been a nightmare without them. **★★★★★ — melaniepete1, Jan. 2013** > Mia is a great designer and has a lot of resources to give you the look you want. She takes the time to know her clients likes and dislikes and is able to pull together your desired look. She is great at what she does. You won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — hershey5, Jan. 2013** > Mia recently transformed my condo into a unique modern but functional space. She incorporated many of my suggestions into the design making me feel like I was part of the design team. Mia as well as the other vendors she subcontracted were always professional, knowledgable, and punctual. I love my new apartment and I loved working with Mia. **★★★★★ — s1u2c3c3e4s5s6, Dec. 2012** > As a general contractor for over twenty years, I have collaborated with numerous interior decorators. Mia is by far the most talented and my personal favorite. Everything she does is exquisitely tasteful. > She is easy going but very efficient . Her final product speaks volumes. > I would recommend her to anyone . > Distinctive Remodeling Inc. > James J. Haack **★★★★★ — kdehayes, Dec. 2012** > We used Mia both in our city home and then again when we moved to Highland Park. Mia pushes you to think creatively (otherwise, why hire a designer, really), but does not oversell the idea if you do not love it. A consummate professional, Mia is flexible, friendly and fun. **★★★★★ — emilyweber, Dec. 2012** > Mia helped me do some re-decorating and she was wonderful. She has a great sense of design and the industry. She was really fun to work with and also very professional, she really knows what she's doing. I would definitely recommed her. **★★★★★ — jrember, Dec. 2012** > Mia is a true design partner. In our experience, she helped make our dream master bath a reality. With just a few simple pictures as inspiration, she understood and brought my style to life through her great design sense. She is collaborative, flexible, honest, professional, responsive and has been been great to work with. Looking forward to working with her on future projects and would highly recommend her team! **★★★★★ — Jesse Chicago, Dec. 2012** > Having worked closely with Mia Rao Design, Mia has proven herself to be a reliable and dedicated business partner. Her attention to detail and her ability to faithfully represent the design aesthetic of the furniture lines we showcase in our showroom has created an invaluable relationship. We loof forward to wrking with Mia Rao Design on many projects to come! **★★★★★ — architype22, Dec. 2012** > Mia Rao - a professional, dedicated and talented interior designer stands out alone in her field. > > My association with Mia goes back to April of 2012. First impressions always mean something, in Mia's case, it was everything. Her desire to offer the highest level of service to her clients shinned through on our first meeting at Ebanista. > > Mia’s cheerful personality and expert eye for design captured my respect from someone with a God given talent. My 20 years as a principle of Architype, LLC in Houston, TX to my leadership at Ebanista as Midwest Territory Manager I have not met many who have the talent and professionalism that Mia offers to her clients. > > My best to you my friend. > > John McCarthy / Ebanista Midwest Territory / Chicago Merchandise Mart **★★★★★ — fishguy1, Dec. 2012** > I am a painting, wallpaper and faux finishing specialists. I have completed many jobs with Mia Rao through he years. She has amazing taste and knows exactly what she is looking for. Her company and employees are very professional and a pleasure to work with. I have never had any issues with any jobs involving Mia. **★★★★★ — lgoldwyn, Dec. 2012** > Mia helped us decorate and update a home we just bought. She helped us with planning and overseeing the construction, including plans for new floors, lighting, and painting. She helped us determine which furniture we should bring to the new home, and helped us place all the pieces and the art. She coordinated all the trades people and helped us choose colors and accessories. Mia has a great personality is a lot of fun to work with. She has great taste and is wonderful with colors and coordinating pieces. She respected our budget and did not push any projects or items above our budget. I recommend her 100%. **★★★★★ — danz1, Dec. 2012** > Mia is comfortable working with contractors and her sunny disposition is always welcome on a job site. She blends colors and textures well and her homes are pleasing and well thought out. > > Artifex Builders **★★★★★ — caryweinstein, Dec. 2012** > Mia and her company have been a great pleasure to work for and with. Her company does great work and we are thrilled to be part of it. **★★★★★ — Kevin Shapin, Dec. 2012** > We are a workroom and have dealt with Mia on a number of projects. Business to business...A+ > > timely with paperwork > organized > professional > clear communications and timely responses > > Designer A+ > > I can honestly say I have seen 1000's of fabrics and worked on 1000's of pieces. Her taste is impeccable and tailored to each one of her clients but at the same time you could take any piece and put it almost anywhere else and it will look like it was meant to be there as well. Her taste and talents transcend the space she is working on. ## Selected projects - [Gorgeous Lakeside Getaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gorgeous-lakeside-getaway-pj-vj~7800845) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Take a look at this sophisticated home in Michigan.
