Life is too short not to love your home. Our favorite homes have the same qualities as our favorite humans: depth, texture, intrigue, light and lightness, color, whimsy and warmth. With architecture and decorating under the same roof, we specialize in conceptualizing a home’s exterior and interior design and also filling it with things that are useful, beautiful and meaningful. We design custom homes and additions from the ground up, and we also delight in bringing new life to old homes. We curate furniture, art and accessories that are in conversation with the architecture, tell a story and invite you to linger. We guide, organize, communicate and prioritize. We sweat the details and hold all the pieces. As much as our experience and knowledge of design permeates our work, we always create spaces unique to the particular people (and animals) who live in them. Getting to know you–your joys and quirks and backstory–is what enables us to cultivate a home you love. We honor history and acknowledge our responsibility as global citizens by sourcing vintage and repurposing and upcycling when it makes sense, and leaning in to local, artisan and small. An SYH home is personal, functional and timeless, and an SYH-led project is marked by practicality, conscientiousness and levity. SYH serves clients near and far. We have designed homes from coast to coast, though the Midwest is perhaps nearest to our hearts, and definitely nearest to our Bloomington, Indiana, based studio. We have worked on homes in Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio. Whether you are in Indianapolis or Chicago, Michiana, Louisville or Cincinnati; whether your project is your forever home or your second or third vacation home; whether you need architecture or furniture or both: if you are looking for someone to create with you an artful home that tells your personal story, we’ll be a good fit. A few hours of travel is always worth it for the right team. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Lighting Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Design Consultation - Entry Design - Floor Plans - Project Management - Playroom Design - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - Nursery Design - House Plans - Art Selection - Guesthouse Design & Construction - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Sunroom Design & Construction - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Home Theater Design - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Attic Conversion - Garage Design - Home Additions - Age In Place Design - Architectural Design - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - Staircase Design ### Areas Served - Bloomington - Chicago area - Cincinnati area - Greater Midwest - Indianapolis area - Louisville area - Michigan - Nationwide ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Susan Yeley Homes | | Address | Bloomington, Indiana 47401, United States | | Phone | (812) 331-7959 | | Website | http://www.susanyeleyhomes.com | | Followers on Houzz | 341 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/SusanYeleyHomes/ - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/pub/susan-yeley/13/165/b15 ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Susan Yeley Homes](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/susan-yeley-homes-pfvwus-pf~721557370) - **Website:** http://www.susanyeleyhomes.com - **Phone:** (812) 331-7959 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 15 awards (2015–2026), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 31 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — lora580, July 2023** > The SYH team was wonderful to work with! We are so happy with the beautiful and functional space that Susan designed for us, and with how well the project was managed. Not one detail was missed! **★★★★★ — rwgbpasadena, Aug. 2021** > We worked with Susan for a plan to remodel our LA kitchen. She and her team could not have been easier to work with and delivered a fantastic design for a small and tricky space. Look forward to seeing it come to life. > Ruthie and Greg **★★★★★ — Teresha Whitted, June 2020** > I’m not really sure how I can truly articulate just how amazing Susan and the entire SYH team truly are, but I will do my best to summarize. First, Susan is unbelievably talented and she is truly made for what she does. I mean I think she might be a magician. Second, Susan and her entire time are all professional. They do not miss deadlines or meetings EVER ! Susan and her team go above and beyond throughout the entire design process. We are talking top shelf customer service. The client deliverables have blown us away EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I waited TWO years to book Susan because I wanted to study her portfolio and my goodness she is worth the wait. The response time from the entire SYH team is almost immediate, which I never expected because I understand she has lots of clients to serve. Somehow, Susan and her team have made us feel like we are the only client they have. If you are looking for a design/architect team please look no further because Susan is the best in the business. It’s so awesome to have an architect working directly with the interior designer which is what SYH has to offer. The SYH team have made a very daunting gut remodel project plan and simplified our decision points to options. Can you imagine walking into a tile or fixture store with no direction on options that will work well in your space and function for your lifestyle? If you hire this team then you will never have to worry about being overwhelmed during your project because they will take care or every detail. Susan keeps our goals for this project at the center of every decision and this intention has yielded an amazing design plan. She is currently making all of my dreams come true. Highly recommend and we will never use anyone else for our design needs ! Thank you SYH team! We are truly grateful beyond words. **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > Teresha, we couldn't have asked for better clients than you! Thank you so much - not only for the review but for the opportunity to work with you to reconceptualize that iconic home - to make the inside live up to the architecture and also be more functional for you! You have been collaborative and open and positive and reasonable throughout. It's been a joy, and we can't wait to see the design come to life - and someday, to stop by for tea and get to see you living there! **★★★★★ — Kristi Robinson, March 2020** > I imagine that Susan and her team put their all into everything they do. I can't imagine a better person to work with when it comes to design; she's basically some kind of Mary Poppins of design, and she has the ability to see through walls... Seriously, she listens, she was super observant and considerate of our aesthetic, and she pulled together a plan that works. I'm really excited to get this project going! **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > You're the BEST, Kristi - except maybe your dogs, lol. We loved working with you (all your humans and canines - and your flora too!) and can't wait to see how your new space turns out. **★★★★★ — Glenda Schulz, Jan. 2019** > We hired Susan Yeley's team to help us renovate our 100-year-old, craftsman’s style bungalow. We also wanted to add on to the back of the house (where the kitchen is located) to create a deck and mudroom. The addition onto the back would also mean we could create a walk-in closet in our bedroom. We had never hired a contractor before so not only did Susan help us with the design, but also helped us hire a contractor. The entire process was so smooth! And even though we had a good idea of what we wanted, Susan and her team helped us get everything just right and made it even better than we had originally planned. We are so pleased with our kitchen, mudroom and walk-in closet (and pantry!) that I would recommend working with Susan Yeley Interiors for any renovation. Our project came in on budget and on time and I would hire Susan Yeley again for any future renovations. **★★★★★ — Kelly Ankney, June 2018** > We are super happy with the fantastic professional consultation with Susan. She answered all my questions and concerns concerning our remodeling project, and had solutions and suggestions that we are putting towards our project. She could not of been more professionaI. She really listened to what my vision was in a very respectful and helpful way. We decided not to hire her as an ongoing consultant during our project as we are on a budget and now have some repair construction issues of unknown cost that we have to address before starting our project. But she was so forthcoming about recommending certain trusted contractors to complete our projects, as well as her design suggestions, that we felt we had a great start. I would highly recommend her to anyone! **★★★★★ — Brad & Gina Rogers, Jan. 2017** > Susan helped us design the kitchen remodel of our 1960's home when we moved to Bloomington in 2014. We went into the remodel with some initial ideas. She listened to what we wanted and asked about our sketches. Within several days she came back with some great layout choices that we hadn't considered. Meeting with Susan was a great decision! > > Susan is professional and approachable. She works quickly, and her dedicated spirit shines through in her work. Her designs were well proportioned making for a kitchen that everyone loves to cook in...or just hang around. She helped us choose various finishings including surfaces, colors, textures. She even found us some cool refurbished furniture options. Susan helped us find the balance we wanted to create a classy, but refreshing kitchen where the whole family loves to be be. **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > Couldn't have had better clients -- turned friends. So very happy that such a great family is living so well in this beautiful space. **★★★★★ — Maria Krause, Dec. 2016** > Susan met with me for a hour consultation on ideas I had in mind to decorate my dining room. She listened to my ideas as well as offered suggestions that I might want to consider. Her guidance was greatly appreciated. Susan also shared a list of professionals she recommended for my project. Most importantly, Susan is a very personable and engaging person. It was a great experience! **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > Thank you, Maria! Happy New Year to you and hope your projects are progressing beautifully. **★★★★ — Kelli Paul, Dec. 2016** > We hired Susan Yeley Interiors to provide designs for my Master Bathroom, Kitchen, Living Room, and Game Room. She worked with us to better understand our likes/dislikes, needs, etc.. She provided multiple designs for each area at different cost levels as well as suggestions for materials that might work best. She helped identify potential contractors as well as suppliers for materials. Susan and all her staff were very professional as they helped us understand all aspects of the design created and the details we needed for moving forward with incorporating the design as we began to renovate and update our home. Her company is very easy to work with and provides high quality designs. They are helpful and informative, and we likely will continue to work with them once we choose which area of the house to start in! **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > We're ready to pick this up again whenever you are, Kelli! Happy New Year to you and yours and THANK YOU for the review! **★★★★★ — Colleen Menczer, Dec. 2016** > Susan is simply the best, whatever your needs. I used her for consultation to confirm my own plans weren't too crazy and asked her to talk me through my ideas to make sure I wasn't overspending and to Use her experience to avoid pitfalls that only pros know how to avoid. She saved me time and money on my basement remodel. **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > Inquiring minds want to know how the basement turned out, Colleen! Meanwhile, thank you so much for your kind words, and Happy New Year to all the Menczers! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Studley, Dec. 2016** > We scheduled a consultation with Susan to discuss flooring options but her visit turned into SO much more. We discussed lighting, bathroom idea and even paint. I highly recommend Susan. When we are ready to move forward with our projects we will be using Susan! **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > What a fun afternoon that was, Stephanie! I'd love to know the progress! Thank you for the review and Happy 2017! **★★★★★ — Susan Loucks, Dec. 2016** > Susan was so great to work with! She helped me make furniture and accessory selections that look terrific in our home. She really took our personal needs and style into account when making her recommendations. I plan to use her services again in the coming year as I update other rooms in my home. **Comment from Susan Yeley Homes:** > Can't wait to keep tweaking at your place, Susan! Thanks for the review! Your house is looking so beautiful! Happy New Year. ## Selected projects - [Off Campus Canvas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/off-campus-canvas-pj-vj~7845273) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: Homes are, at their best, as changeable and alive as their inhabitants: able to expand - for weekend guests, or for an entire season of life that is full of happy chaos — or contract - for quiet moments, downtime, empty nesting. We designed Off Campus Canvas to feel grounded in the present and also to be able to change over time. In the short term, it will house students at nearby Indiana University (and also comfortably accommodate visiting family). In the long term, it will become a Midwestern… - [Coach's Getaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coach-s-getaway-pj-vj~7845329) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Bobby Knight’s one-time home office was pretty much as he left it when our client opened the door for us the first time, except that it was a storage space more than a workspace by then. It was time, she deemed, to turn it into something she could use for events and visitors. The office amounted to a big square room on the other side of her garage, and although the bathroom was unfortunate and the case goods dated, the ceiling was vaulted and a lovely expanse of windows framed wooded views. This… - [Park & Palette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-and-palette-pj-vj~7846379) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: A family of five needed a kitchen that could keep up with them: two IU psychology professors, three high schoolers, a serious cooking habit, a small army of countertop appliances, and more houseplants than most people own in a lifetime. The bones of the older East Side home were good — tall shuttered windows, crown molding, a dining room one doorway away — but the kitchen was cramped, the pantry was a coat closet down the hall, and the counter space had long since lost the battle with the Kitche… - [A Good Vintage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-good-vintage-pj-vj~7845340) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 74 - Description: While SYH is primarily a residential firm, this project was too good to pass up: reimagining an historic Bloomington building as a creative hub for a pair of inspiring local entrepreneurs and friends. It’s not actually their home—but it had to feel like one. The building now hosts private offices, meeting and event space, a working photography studio and workroom, annnnnnnnd a fully equipped apartment on the top floor, intended to house visiting resident artists. We took it on for two reasons: t… - [Unionville Family Central](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unionville-family-central-pj-vj~7694933) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 59 - Description: This forever home has family legacy woven into its very foundation—literally. The husband grew up here, in a house built decades ago by his father and grandfather. When he and his wife approached us about retiring on this cherished property, the original plan was to renovate. After careful study, however, it became clear: starting fresh would be better for the long-term comfort and flexibility they envisioned. The decision was made: the old home came down. In its exact footprint, a new one rose—… - [Rainbow in the Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rainbow-in-the-woods-pj-vj~7830282) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - Description: Tucked along a quiet road east of town, this joyful new-build is a true from-the-ground-up SYH creation—architecture to wallpaper, footers to finishes. Designed for one of our favorite contractors and his family, this home radiates warmth, color, and charm at every turn. Juggling two bustling businesses, two daughters and two furry friends, this family wanted a home that felt grounded in nature but bursting with personality. The structure, inside and out, had to balance practicality and durabili… - [Leveling Up](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leveling-up-pj-vj~7691990) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 15 - Description: A drawn-out remodel a few years back left these homeowners a little shell-shocked—but once they’d recovered, they realized what we know to be true at SYH: a great architectural shell alone does not a home make. They came back to us ready for phase two: to level up their living and dining spaces with furniture and decor that would support their lifestyle, reflect their aesthetic, and bring the whole place to life, without changing a single wall. - [Westside Understory](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westside-understory-pj-vj~7693797) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: During the pandemic, two coastal transplants unexpectedly became Bloomington transplants. Their century-old home on the Near West Side charmed them above ground, but hid unrealized potential below. With contractor Jim Wright-Kaiser, we transformed a rough, underutilized basement — including a cramped former apartment with a particularly unfortunate bathroom — into a retreat that effectively doubled their living space. This basement renovation presented the perfect opportunity to honor history wh… - [Splash of Joy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/splash-of-joy-pj-vj~7692659) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 5 - Description: The Cobbler's Children have new shoes! The upstairs galley bathroom the kids share in Susan's 1959 split-level finally got a facelift, just in time for them to move away to college. Here's hoping it compels them home from time to time —the true measure of renovation success for any family space! - [Midcentury Marvel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midcentury-marvel-pj-vj~7443876) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 69 - Description: They call Bloomington a boomerang town. This client is one of those bouncers-back. She and her husband engaged SYH mid-pandemic to remodel this house that she remembers well from her childhood, when it belonged to her mother's best friend. We kept the house's original 1958 layout for the most part—just opening the kitchen up to an adjacent hall—but gutted and reconceived an old addition as well as a very recent one, and completely refaced the exterior and landscaping. In support of the architect… - [Suite Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suite-green-pj-vj~7692672) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: These clients called upon our Central Indiana design team to envision a home addition that would create dedicated spaces for Mom and Dad’s work, crafting, sleep and personal care. They asked for space, light and color - areas to relax and recharge, as well as room to focus on their work away from the foot traffic of daily life. - [A-Frame Lake Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-frame-lake-retreat-pj-vj~7444814) - Location: Indianapolis, IN - Photos: 29 - Description: With three puppies and three grown sons, not to mention a regular crew of grand-dogs, significant others and friends, this Indianapolis-based couple wanted their weekend lake retreat to be serene and inviting, and also relaxed and indestructible. At SYH, we feel that a vacation house, like a basement, has to be designed so well that it compels you there. This simple, comfortable A-frame certainly makes the hassle of packing the car and opening the boat and stocking the groceries all worth it. Th… - [Atrium House by Earl Flansburgh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atrium-house-by-earl-flansburgh-pj-vj~6659873) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 12 - [Maple Grove Forever](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-grove-forever-pj-vj~7150234) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Light Filled Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/light-filled-ranch-pj-vj~6775787) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [The Mullet House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-mullet-house-pj-vj~5807209) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 13 - [High-Level Bi-Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-level-bi-level-pj-vj~2716636) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 10 - Description: Two years before this photo shoot, a Bloomington couple came to SYI wondering whether to renovate their dated bi-level or upgrade to a new house entirely: the classic love-it-or-list-it dilemma. The whole house needed to be touched, really: bathrooms and kitchen, lighting and flooring and paint everywhere, not to mention new furniture to fill in and improve the living spaces. We spent a year with this family, considering options that were less transformative but allowed for the whole house to be… - [Craftsman Charm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-charm-pj-vj~5464272) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 15 - Description: Like most of our projects, we can't gush about this reno—a new kitchen and mudroom, ensuite closet and pantry—without gushing about the people who live there. The best projects, we always say, are the ones in which client, contractor and design team are all present throughout, conception to completion, each bringing their particular expertise to the table and forming a cohesive, trustworthy team that is mutually invested in a smooth and successful process. They listen to each other, give the ben… - [Happy Midcentury](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/happy-midcentury-pj-vj~1539237) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 12 - [Classic Indiana Limestone Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-indiana-limestone-ranch-pj-vj~6659897) - Location: Bloomington, IN - Photos: 10 [See all 22 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/susan-yeley-homes-pfvwus-pf~721557370) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1183814547.m3u8?s=fc20e28e77b1e70fa2d9144e3f910c445d4bc9e3&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Ideabooks - [SYH: 3115](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185750881/list/syh-3115) — 11 ideas - [SYH: 1005 Brainstorm](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185446164/list/syh-1005-brainstorm) — 124 ideas - [SYH: 1005](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185446160/list/syh-1005) — 97 ideas - [SYH: One15](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185053487/list/syh-one15) — 122 ideas - [SYH: 904 Brainstorm](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184519246/list/syh-904-brainstorm) — 96 ideas - [SYH: 904](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184519181/list/syh-904) — 116 ideas - [SYH: 1206 Brainstorm](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184303606/list/syh-1206-brainstorm) — 244 ideas - [SYH: 1206](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184303586/list/syh-1206) — 38 ideas - [SYH: 5785 Foyer Brainstorm](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184022416/list/syh-5785-foyer-brainstorm) — 187 ideas - [SYH: 5785 Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/184022408/list/syh-5785-foyer) — 66 ideas - [SYH: WFHB](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/183387841/list/syh-wfhb) — 35 ideas - [SYH: 514](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/182764245/list/syh-514) — 92 ideas - [SYH: Art](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128508169/list/syh-art) — 92 ideas - [SYH: Cabinet Functionality](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108356755/list/syh-cabinet-functionality) — 196 ideas - [SYH: Stairs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60127630/list/syh-stairs) — 206 ideas - [SYH: Wash Up (Bathrooms & Mud/Laundry Rooms)](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50329086/list/syh-wash-up-bathrooms-mud-laundry-rooms) — 773 ideas - [SYH: Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54585682/list/syh-furniture) — 272 ideas - [SYH: Surfaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50732273/list/syh-surfaces) — 296 ideas - [SYH: Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52176472/list/syh-lighting) — 352 ideas - [SYH: Windows & Window Treatments](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50857322/list/syh-windows-window-treatments) — 65 ideas [See all 342 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/susan-yeley) ## Community Q&A **Q: Cabinet material** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m seeing a pretty consistent repeat in the grain. Is this a laminate made to look like straight grain fir? A: This is called rift cut or rift sawn grain. This image isn't one of our projects rather an inspiration. If these cabinets are custom made, then it's a real wood veneer that is rift cut/sawn, probably white oak. **Q: Another product question** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand of front door is this or is it a custom item? A: Hello again! This was a custom made front door. **Q: Brick or stone exterior** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand and color is the brick or stone on this house? A: I wish!! This is a home we did for a client and they graciously let us do our staff photos at their home. **Q: Beautiful tile!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you share the color/brand? A: Thank you! It's Heath Tile KPFA Green 2x6 **Q: Fireplace tile** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, Can you share the details of the fireplace tile? A: That is Fiandre Tile Nihon in 24x24. **Q: Wood stain used on walls and floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the color of the wood on the walls and floor. What type of stain was used? Thank you! A: Hello! Thank you for your question. The floors are white oak with Bona ClassicSeal. The wall paneling is rift sawn white oak with a clear finish to preserve the natural color of the wood. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
