She learned early that even formal beauty was meant to be intermingled with everyday life, and that the well-lived life takes place not in stiff and somber surroundings, but in artful structures graced with a comfortable elegance and wit. Alessandra divides her time between New York, Rome, Harbour Island and Chicago where she founded her design firm in 1981. She has completed projects across the globe, including in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, London, and countless other locations. Awarded by House Beautiful as their first Master Class Designer and recently named as one of Elle Decor's A-list designers for the second year in a row her work continues to inspire those through confident, livable and ever-changing interiors. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Space Planning - Color Consulting - Furniture Selection - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Lighting Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Custom Built-ins - Entry Design - Playroom Design - Nursery Design - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Custom Blinds & Shades - House Plans - Art Selection - Custom Home Bars - Closet Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Walk-in Closets - Custom Rugs - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Garage Design - Kitchen Remodeling ### Areas Served - Chicago - Cicero - Evanston - Schaumburg - Arlington Heights - Palatine - Skokie - Oak Lawn - Berwyn - Oak Park - Glenview - Northbrook - Elk Grove Village - Niles - Chicago Heights - Melrose Park - Morton Grove - Elmwood Park - Crest Hill - Norridge - Forest Park - Lincolnwood - River Forest - Summit - Lyons - Riverside - Harwood Heights - North Riverside - Stickney - Forest View - Bedford Park - Summit Argo ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Branca, Inc. | | Address | 5 East Goethe, Chicago, Illinois 60610, United States | | Phone | (312) 787-6123 | | Website | http://www.branca.com | | License Number | 1520-3247 | | Followers on Houzz | 418 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/BRANCAinteriors - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/a\_branca - Blog — http://instagram.com/abranca\# ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Branca, Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/branca-inc-pfvwus-pf~755233665) - **Website:** http://www.branca.com - **Phone:** (312) 787-6123 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Her numerous honors and awards include ELLE DECOR's 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 A List, House Beautiful's Master Class, and more. - **Best of Houzz:** 5 awards (2013–2017), for Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 1 review** ### All 1 review **★★★★★ — Nicholas Wells Antiques, Jan. 2017** > It was a great honor to help supply Alessandra with antiques for one of her interior design projects.

It is a grasscloth. Phillip Jefferies has a great selection! **Q: Beautiful room! Where can I find a similar window treatment?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi irozes! Thank you for your compliment! The shade was made custom out of silk for our client. You could always pick out a favorite fabric of yours and have one made specifically for you from a window treatment company. **Q: Could you please tell me what color the walls are. Thank you.** *(in Photo Questions)* I have an dark olive green sofa and would love help with the color painting the walls and fell in love with this picture. I am not great with choices so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. A: We covered the walls in a grasscloth. Phillip Jeffries has some excellent choices! **Q: beautiful room! Please share name of wallpaper. Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you! We upholstered the walls in a custom paisley fabric and then trimmed the edges with a dark blue twill. **Q: Sconces** *(in Photo Questions)* Plaster? Who by? A: Yes! These 1940's sconces are by Serge Roche and made of plaster. **Q: Wall color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Wall color? A: Hi Kat Zerega, This room is actually covered in a blue grasscloth. The color has been discontinued but http://www.phillipjeffries.com/ or Kneedler Fauchere have great blue grasscloths to choose from! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
