### Reviews

**★★★★★ — C.Aranka Sheehy, March 2025**

> I am so pleased with my new window blinds!  With great assistance from Kim Chapman of Urban Environments, I purchased six floor to ceiling shades that are a wonderful color and texture and fit my windows beautifully.  Kim was so helpful!  Also, I appreciated the installer, who was thorough, professional and pleasant.  This is the second time I have used Urban Environments, and I definitely recommend them!

**★★★★★ — HU-214588047, June 2019**

> Caitlin and Kim are the ultimate dream team! We have used them for shades in both our kitchen and bedroom, and both times they went above and beyond to create the perfect drapes for our home. The installation was quick and easy, and we are so pleased with the end result! We will most definitely work with them again in the future. Thank you so much!!!!

**★★★★★ — Lugbill Designs, Jan. 2019**

> I highly recommend Kim and her team! I have worked with Kim on multiple projects over the last 9 years. I am an interior designer and she has played a crucial role in several of my client's projects. Kim has a great eye for design, has so much knowledge on all things window treatment related, is very responsive and always follows through. She is full of energy and a delight to work with. Don't hesitate to hire Kim and her team!

**★★★★★ — Ashley Nelson, Sept. 2018**

> Kim and her team at Urban Environments were a pleasure to work with and our bedrooms now look AWESOME as a result of her recommendations for window coverings.  They helped select fabrics and installed in 4 different rooms-- and we are so pleased with the end result.  The install was easy and Urban Environments is a great find!

**★★★★★ — R Ryan, Aug. 2018**

> Kim and Urban Environments were absolutely great!  This is the second time I've used them and will definitely go back to them again when needed.  Matt the installer was also excellent - friendly, courteous and did a great job!

**★★★★★ — krmardy, May 2018**

> It was such a great experience working with Kim and Caitlin.  They are professional, talented, personable and attentive to detail.  Kim came to our home to offer advice on the selection of materials and Caitlin also offered ideas and provided me with samples from the fabrics I was considering.  The installation went smoothly and the results are excellent!. I look forward to working with them again.

**★★★★★ — {lid} Chicago, March 2018**

> Urban Environments has been such a pleasure working with on a client project on the north side of Chicago.  Kim and the team bring professionalism and kindness into each aspect of the project from providing design ideas and coordination of install day.  My client's words to describe the finished product were "breathtaking" from the family room roman shades and tall sliding door draperies.  The master bedroom also had flat romans and one set of drapery that is truly stunning.
>
> LID Chicago will continue to work with the UE team and is looking forward to future projects with them.  Thanks again!!

**★★★★★ — Marc Smoler, Feb. 2018**

> Urban Environments did an excellent job! Extremely professional, detail oriented, and a high-quality product. The entire process of samples, design, and installation was flawless. I highly recommend working with Catlin and Kim.

**★★★★★ — Melissa Quinn, Jan. 2018**

> They were fantastic. We had a particularly tricky job, fitting drapery into pockets that were quite tight, and not all even throughout the same room. They came up with creative solutions and then installed everything quickly and flawlessly. I liked how they were very keen to incorporate my wishes and make me happy, but also had useful professional opinions to share in order to create the best final result. I would HIGHLY recommend them.  Great communicators and also just lovely people!

**★★★★★ — Karen Zupko, Dec. 2017**

> Kim and her team do an A + job.   Kim listens offers opinions in terms of choices that help a client achieve their vision.  She met with me after work--none of this 9 to 5 pm business, which I appreciate.  Her installer worked with us to accommodate our schedule.   And, the work was delivered and installed before the holidays as promised!   And, most importantly, we are very happy with the beautiful results!
>
> Kim has done smaller projects for me and her pricing is fair and reasonable.

**★★★★★ — J Gold, Nov. 2017**

> Excellent service and design ideas!  I needed help with covering 2 side by side sliding doors with a transom over each door.  From the moment I walked in the door at Urban Environments I felt surrounded by positive energy, no pressure, confident that I was understood and would be guided in my decision as much as I wanted from Kim and Caitlin.  I could not have asked for a better experience with choosing my window coverings.  And then it got even better -- their installer, Tom Ewald, was fabulous with the installation.  I love my beautiful Roman Shades!  Lots of compliments from everyone walking into my home!

**★★★★★ — Sue Collins, Nov. 2017**

> I was looking for drapes for a large loft bedroom window and didn't really know what I wanted.  Kim was extremely helpful in the process.  By asking questions about my needs, I figured out the look and she sent samples of the fabrics to my house so I could seem them in the light that they would be in vs. just the showroom.  She helped me work within my budget so I could get the look I wanted.  The installation process went smoothly and I couldn't be happier with the end result.
