Her expertise in residential interior design, commercial interior design and hospitality interior design provides a diverse portfolio and flexibility with project needs. On any given day, Janice's projects range from kitchen and bath design, to office planning and design, to selecting artwork and accessorizing, to complete restaurant remodels like the Underground Burger Bar and Hamilton Walkers. Focused on a consultative approach to each design, Janice takes the time to find each clients' personal style and color palate they are most comfortable in and wrapping the design around these elements. Approaching design in 4 layers, Janice starts with the best possible space plan. Building from the space plan she brings the room into a three dimensional perspective, varying furniture and cabinetry heights and bringing lighting into the space. The third layer incorporates color and material selections, customizing visual and textural elements specific to each project. The final element is accessorizing, with the unique perspective of each individual client. Janice is a graduate of the Harrington Institute of Interior Design. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Lighting Design - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Built-ins - Entry Design - Playroom Design - Floor Plans - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - Nursery Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - Custom Home Bars - House Plans - Art Selection - Universal Design - Basement Design - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Rugs - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Theater Design - Wine Cellar Design - Home Staging - Drafting - Historic Building Conservation - Kitchen Remodeling - Home Office Design ### Areas Served - Aurora - Fox Valley - Naperville - Bolingbrook - Palatine - Wheaton - Downers Grove - Elmhurst - Lombard - Plainfield - Romeoville - Carol Stream - Addison - Woodridge - Glendale Heights - Glen Ellyn - West Chicago - Westmont - Lisle - Villa Park - Bloomingdale - Darien - Bensenville - Lemont - Hinsdale - Warrenville - Western Springs - Burr Ridge - Winfield - Willowbrook - Clarendon Hills - Hillside - Oak Brook - Berkeley - Indian Head Park - Oakbrook Terrace ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Janice Connolly Interiors | | Address | Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, United States | | Phone | (312) 635-5405 | | Website | http:// | | Followers on Houzz | 32 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Janice Connolly Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/janice-connolly-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1669395366) - **Website:** http:// - **Phone:** (312) 635-5405 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2017–2020), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 14 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Kristine Santucci, May 2019** > Janice was a pleasure to work with on my latest bathroom remodel.

I have worked with Janice over the past fifteen years and she has guided my husband and me in a variety of decorating projects sharing her expertise and creativity in all areas. She even helped us choose exterior paint colors for our vintage home! She listens well to our ideas and offers a variety of choices always considering our perspectives but willing to help us think "outside of the box." She has helped us redecorate many of our rooms often utilizing existing furniture and moving them in different locations but adding something new! She has kept us in close contact during the project, stays within our budget and meets deadlines in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Janice Connolly as one of the best in this field! She's an incredible, talented decorator! I'm already planning a bathroom redo for next year and can't wait to contact her to plan this project! **★★★★★ — Sam Bullaro, Oct. 2016** > It has been a pleasure working with Janice since we first meet. We called on her when we built our home. She has been the consummate professional and worked with us to accomplish the style that we are comfortable with, yet keeping with current fashion trends. Her knowledge of both furniture, fabric and colors is exceptional. We have used her many times to revamp other rooms and have yet to be disappointed in her designs. I recently moved my office to a smaller area and called on her to design a layout that would fit the office furniture I had and meet my needs. It was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her for your interior design needs. Sam & Pat **★★★★★ — Beth McClenahan, Oct. 2016** > Janice has helped with my remodeling needs for several years. The master bath was the first project. It has a subtle timeless style. Janice presented me with a detailed drawing and and several choices for the materials. I could count on her to be on site to monitor the work. Next was the kitchen, then the sunroom and study. She created a shadowbox depicting my husband's interest in magic and made a wall hanging. The climbing men in the living room are just a hoot and quite a conversation starter. ## Selected projects - [Spacious Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spacious-kitchen-pj-vj~1956695) - Location: Darien, IL - Photos: 15 - [Master Bath With Everything](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-with-everything-pj-vj~1956698) - Location: Itasca, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: Luxury Bath with Gas Fireplace, Heated Floors, Large Curved Shower, Travertine Tile Walls + Floors. - [Most Excellent Basement!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/most-excellent-basement-pj-vj~1956033) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 23 - Description: Basement with a Sports Theme - [Painted Lady](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/painted-lady-pj-vj~1956706) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 18 - Description: Paint Consult on this Victorian Beauty. - [Traditional Kitchen with a Prairie Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-with-a-prairie-twist-pj-vj~1974333) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 9 - [Large Contemporary Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/large-contemporary-basement-pj-vj~1956705) - Location: Bolingbrook, IL - Photos: 29 - [Working Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/working-kitchen-pj-vj~1948377) - Location: Darien, IL - Photos: 14 - Description: Real Working Kitchen for a client who Cooks Every Day! - [Contemporary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bath-pj-vj~1956708) - Location: Lemont, IL - Photos: 42 - [Groovey Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/groovey-kitchen-pj-vj~1956701) - Location: Evergreen Park, IL - Photos: 19 - [Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portfolio-pj-vj~1946169) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Bedding](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedding-pj-vj~1956703) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Traditional Dining & Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-dining-and-living-rooms-pj-vj~1956709) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Luxury Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-bath-pj-vj~1956693) - Location: Lemont, IL - Photos: 5 - [Contemporary Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-basement-pj-vj~1956577) - Location: Lemont, IL - Photos: 28 - [Traditional Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-master-bath-pj-vj~1956255) - Location: Lemont, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: Traver-tine Tile Floor, Walls + Accent Border. - [House Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-update-pj-vj~1956387) - Location: Elmhurst, IL - Photos: 14 - [Underground Burger Bar Restaurant](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/underground-burger-bar-restaurant-pj-vj~2094278) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 28 - [Hamilton Walkers Restaurant](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hamilton-walkers-restaurant-pj-vj~2348555) - Location: Champaign, IL - Photos: 33 - [Contemporary House with Great Lighting!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-house-with-great-lighting-pj-vj~5649097) - Location: Oak Brook, IL - Photos: 22 - [Baker's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baker-s-kitchen-pj-vj~5548043) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 10 [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/janice-connolly-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1669395366) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840765832.m3u8?s=3a3c2451800e141dd05c8726122a76b7218913d7&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **What types of interior design projects do you specialize in (full-home, single room, remodel support)?** I specialize in a wide range of projects, from residential and commercial to hospitality interior design.
