Professional, detail-oriented, and passionate, she's really the ideal designer. I loved working with her on a refresh of my main bedroom and office, and Lex's guidance made what would otherwise have been overwhelming feel very manageable. I highly recommend working with her! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > It can be such a challenge to prioritize goals and needs - lighting the way forward is often the hardest part. I'm glad we were able to get in and get it done. And, I'm still in love with the carpeting we chose! Cheers. ### All 24 reviews **★★★★★ — 321555, July 2026** > We couldn't be happier with Lexa and her team. What began as needing help with floor and wall colors turned into a complete redo of our entryway, powder room and great room. The design team sat with us often to discern what we liked even if we didn't know ourselves. Colors, hues, traditional, classical or contemporary. They listened well and learned about us. > When they returned with a floor plan that moved our dining area and added several features (a tambour wall and microcement bench) I was taken aback. The plan was wonderful, innovative and unique. We ended up going with just about everything she recommended. > We also decided to purchase all new furniture. Lexa and her team sourced items from many vendors. They came back to us with three or four options for chairs, sofas, dining room table, lamps, etc. My wife and I took our time, went to some of the stores that carried these pieces and made our final decision. The design team saved us dozens of hours with their efforts. > There were other 'value added' features to using Lexa. She came to our home while we were on a vacation and received two pieces that were being delivered. The banquette was made about a foot too long. It really didn't bother us. She insisted it wasn't right and had it picked up and made correctly. The same thing happened with a table we had made. It wasn't exactly what she wanted and sent it back to be corrected. Lexa fought for a credit with a vendor that I had already, with no luck, argued with. She won and the credit was ours. > The Lexa Glade team was professional, friendly, listened to our needs and fun to work with. I would (will) use them again in a heartbeat. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Matt! We only wish the best for you and Jamie. So happy we've been able to affect such positive impact on your quality of life! **★★★★★ — allie00013, May 2026** > Lex and team, especially Marlo, were fun to work with, they presented a design plan that matched the style we were looking for, and also found some really beautiful tile and countertop for our kitchen! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Allison! We had so much fun collaborating with you. :) **★★★★ — mbkadlec, April 2026** > Lex helped me redecorate and remodel my living room and office. She really took the time to listen to my needs and helped me articulate my style and then developed a detailed plan and budget, giving me many options to choose from. We iterated through a number of different layouts before finalizing the plan. I am very happy with the result. The rooms are so much more functional and enjoyable to spend time in. We even incorporated some existing pieces which was nice. She was able to pick out items that I would never have thought of and they all came together perfectly. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Betsy! We're so excited to see everything styled out and cozy. **★★★★★ — Veronica Burns, April 2026** > Lex has such an incredible zest for connecting design and community. Not only does their work constantly astound me, the intention behind the business is so admirable. It’s apparent that every piece is sourced and placed with the utmost care and that extends to their relationship to the community around them. Lex truly is one of a kind with an amazing eyes and a deep passion. Anyone would be so lucky to work with them! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you so much Veronica!! Community is everything - I appreciate you. **★★★★★ — Karyn Dethrow, Feb. 2026** > Lex and her team are fantastic to work with and extremely talented. Great taste and eye for one of a kind design! **★★★★★ — Christine S, Nov. 2025** > Lexa and her team produce great work and we loved our experience working with them! Creative and personal design for those who want an outcome in their home that is uniquely reflective of who they are. **★★★★★ — Judy, Oct. 2025** > I am extremely happy with the results of my work with Lexa Glade Design. They asked the right questions to find out what I was looking for and were able to translate that into a design that worked within my budget and provided ideas that I wouldn't have thought of on my own with creativity and an exciting design. At the same time, I feel that I am truly in my home with my taste and style now that the project is complete. The level of professionalism, transparency and communication is top notch. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Judy! We are so happy to see you cozy and comfortable in your space. That is what home should be. :) **★★★★★ — HU-933506648, July 2025** > Lexa Glade Design is a dream to work with!! She is wildly knowledgeable and the execution of her creative visions is mind blowing!! The way she sees a space and transforms it is beyond compare. Definitely recommend Lex and her team to everyone! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Ross!! You are a power partner. So grateful to have you in our community. **★★★★★ — Meghan, July 2025** > Working with Lex on a bathroom remodel was an amazing experience! She not only helped me narrow-in on the style/mood I desired, but opened my eyes to the cross-section of interior design and functionality. During the design process, she provided pros and cons of different options that were available within my preferred style objective. She was very gracious in creating design layouts that included options I was considering--even those she advised against--so I could see firsthand why they either didn't suit the physical space or didn't align with how I intended to use it. Lex was very engaged in listening to my goals and patiently guided me through choices when I felt stuck and unsure. She is professional, but not intimidating; honest, but not harsh. Extra points for her being such a cool person, too! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Meghan!! We aim to please and to empower. It was wonderful working with you all - Could not be more excited to see the final product. :) **★★★★★ — HU-856280280, June 2025** > Lex and her team were truly exceptional. As someone new to homeownership, I wasn’t sure where to begin with my first design project, but Lex made the process smooth and stress-free. She provided expert guidance on everything—from paint colors and carpeting to room layout and furniture sourcing. Her contractor referrals were top-notch, and her eye for design brought everything together beautifully. I felt completely supported the entire way. I’d confidently recommend Lex and her team to anyone looking to design their space. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Zach! You and Paul were such great fits, and we couldn't have asked for better clients. **★★★★★ — Paul Mannix, May 2025** > Lex and her entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first-time home buyer, the idea of taking on our first home design project felt overwhelming, but Lex demystified it. From selecting paint colors and carpets to recommending trusted contractors, designing our living room layout, and sourcing furniture, she guided us through every step with expertise and care. Her attention to detail, creative insight, and thoughtful approach made a world of difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Lex and her team to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and client-focused design partner. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Huge thank you!! Your words and support are so appreciated. Looking forward to seeing the space progress and evolve. **★★★★★ — Ben Tisser, May 2025** > I worked with Lex on a first-floor renovation, and overall had a great experience. I had a flood and had to gut the first floor. Insurance didn't cover and the budget was extremely tight. She really understood my style and brought a lot of creativity to the project. I appreciated her effort to stick to the budget, which I know isn't always easy when you're juggling design and execution. > > There were a few bumps along the way—what projects don't have bumps—despite that, the end result looks great and feels very "me," which is the most important thing. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who listens and delivers thoughtful, stylish spaces. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Ben!! Though the circumstances that prompted our engagement were not ideal, we really made the best of it, and I could not be happier to see how you've settled into your new space. I know we'll be talking as your journey continues to unfold. Cheers, friend. :) **★★★★★ — carrieinchicago, April 2025** > Lex has such an impeccable eye for design and I could not be happier how with my place looks. She asked the right questions and helped me define my style, even when I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted. At first, moving into a new place and having a blank canvas felt overwhelming, but she made the process so easy, and I felt lighter the more we worked together. My place is now colorful and bright, and it feels like home. Highly recommend Lex! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Carrie - Always a huge thank you for your support. You really deserve the world. Thank you. **★★★★★ — wrptry, April 2025** > Lex is extremely attentive and empathetic. She is thoughtful and deliberate and goes to great lengths to understand and address the client's physical and emotional needs. She is an excellent project manager and problem solver, and meets any roadblock (of which there can be many when dealing with construction) with logical and pragmatic solutions. She has a great eye for color and encyclopedic knowledge of 20th century design. Highly recommend. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you for your kind words!! So happy to have the opportunity to work with you. :) **★★★★★ — Eli Tykeson, April 2025** > I have been working with Lex for almost a year now and have been very happy with the work her company has done. Lex is extremely organized, has great attention to detail, and provides attentive project management. Marlo designed this amazing cat wall that my cats love and use every day. Bill, Marlo, Ross, and Lex are good people who have made the renovation process totally worth it. I would 100% recommend **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > It's been such a pleasure working with you - Thank you for finding us, and for your friendship! :) **★★★★★ — Kathy Salerno, March 2025** > Lex is a talented designer who works seamlessly with her clients. She has a fresh and innovative approach to designing beautiful spaces. I've really enjoyed working with her! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Kathy! You're the best and so incredibly wonderful to collaborate with. **★★★★★ — Lynn Clementi, March 2025** > We hired Lex to re-design our primary bathroom. Our home is over 100 years old and the bathroom has some funky angles from the roof line. Lex embraced the challenge of creating a beautiful and highly functional space. She chose materials, patterns, and colors that we never would have thought of ourselves and it all came together like it was meant to be. We are so happy with the result, it's like showering in a spa every morning. On top of her inspiring design skills, Lex is an absolutely wonderful human. We weren't the easiest clients to work with (indecisive and limited budget) but Lex stuck with us wholeheartedly and was professional every step of the way. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thanks so much, Lynn! You and Bert deserve the world, and we're so happy we were able to support you through this process. You owe yourself more credit than you give. Best of luck as you continue to journey along! **★★★★★ — daniel\_3819, Feb. 2025** > I reached out to Lex to create some custom furnishings for my home. For each piece, I had a specific idea in my head, but when it came to materials, logistics, and artisans I didn’t know where to start. She quickly refined my ideas and put together a stellar group to handle everything I needed. It was a pleasure working with such a talented designer who truly cares for her clients. It was not only fun, but the end results were better than I would have ever expected. Thank you! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you!! You have such a creative vision - It's been a lifetime of fun working with you. **★★★★★ — Jasmine Abdul, June 2024** > Lex always goes above and beyond. She is truly passionate about what she does and she’s darn good at it. I tell everyone about how wonderful she is and recommend her to all of my family and friends. She truly is a talented gem and I hope more people get to experience her work. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Jasmine! That is so incredibly sincere. You know I’ve got your back! **★★★★★ — Jessica, May 2024** > Lex is great! She has helped our family in so many ways. We were lucky enough to work with her on our new construction and forever home in Naperville. She helped us with paint, wallpaper, furnishings (all unique and special), accessories etc. She was always very thoughtful and patient with us through the process, and impressed us with her work ethic and attention to detail! We’ve loved working with Lex and I know will continue to utilize her services in the future! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > Thank you, Jess! It has been such an honor to work with you, your family, and your new home. Lifelong bond - I’m here for it all! **★★★★★ — Leslie Vinson, May 2024** > She did a fantastic job on my kitchen remodel. I loved her ideas, and her wide variety of materials and designs to choose from. But the quality of the craftsmanship and timeliness of the work was where her professionalism really shines. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > I am so happy you love your new kitchen! The power of refresh is real. :) **★★★★★ — Ariana Sky, Oct. 2023** > Lexa has helped me tremendously in remodeling my entire 1959 home. Despite there being a lot of "hurry up and wait" and hastily made decisions on our end to keep more structural things going, she's been able to rebound and work around what we have. I look forward to continuing to work out all the more fun details with Lexa like tile choices and wall colors to runners and furniture. **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > I'm still so happy to receive updates on how your space is unfolding. Every time I visit there's a new area to enjoy. Home is a journey! Looking forward to more. **★★★★★ — Nancy Hodgkins, July 2023** > Lex was attune to my needs and helped me evaluate my priorities for a home office refresh. My new space is now not only seamlessly functional, but 100% reflective of ME - in ways that I was unable to articulate on my own. I have newfound pleasure in both living and working from home. Thank you! **Comment from Lexa Glade Design:** > You are so welcome, Nancy! Your space is an extension of yourself, and you should be proud of investing in that! ## Selected projects - [Naperville Eclectic Whole Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/naperville-eclectic-whole-home-pj-vj~7548151) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 14 - [Highland Park Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-townhome-pj-vj~7657849) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 9 - [Naperville Curated Basement Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/naperville-curated-basement-bar-pj-vj~7548156) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 5 - [Belmont Gardens Art Deco Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belmont-gardens-art-deco-revival-pj-vj~7669751) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - [Old Irving Park Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-irving-park-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~7669749) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - [Lake Geneva Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-geneva-lake-house-pj-vj~7263436) - Location: Lake Geneva, WI - Photos: 10 - [Chicago River North Lounge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-river-north-lounge-pj-vj~7244617) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 3 - [Chicago West Loop Multi-Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-west-loop-multi-residence-pj-vj~7244616) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Highland Park Modernist Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-modernist-home-pj-vj~7244614) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 2 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lexa-glade-design-pfvwus-pf~1455980568) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1167794355.m3u8?s=062a03c2f055974c17444e4f17610314c246f825&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
