We couldn't be happier with the results. Christie and her associates Linda and Kassidy were very professional throughout the entire process from design and picking out our flooring, furnishings wall colors, and through construction and delivery. Very communicative throughout the process. Christie and her team helped take us a bit out of our "comfort zone" in colors and fabrics, for example, but in the best possible way. The finished product in both the basement and kitchen is phenomenal, and we love spending time in our new spaces, and sharing time with family and friends. > > Shout out also to her partner sub-contractor, AW Wendell and Sons. Eric is equally professional and works with the best contractors we've ever worked with, who all did excellent, top of the line work, with great attention to detail. . > > We highly recommend Christie and her team at CKI! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the excellent review. We enjoyed working with you and your family on your project, and I'm glad to hear how much you're enjoying the finished spaces. We’d be delighted to assist you again whenever the need arises. Thanks again! ### All 30 reviews **★★★★★ — Kristin McDonough, May 2026** > Christie was able to bring our very different aesthetics together in a cohesive design that really included both of our personalities and ideas! Her whole team was so helpful and caring every step of the way. After we spent years of back and forth without a designer to help and not really sure exactly what we wanted, she was able to really bring a whole picture together that completely transformed our space. Christie was really able to hear our ideas and make them come to life! All work and installation was done professionally and with extra care. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. It means so much to me and our team. We loved helping bring both of your personalities and ideas together to create a space that feels uniquely yours. It was such a pleasure working with you both! Thanks again. **★★★★★ — Heidi Mulhall, April 2026** > This is the second time we worked with Christie Kenny Interiors on our home (this time on a kitchen remodel.) Chirstie and her team did not disappoint! From design concept thru installation Christie and her team were there every step of the way! Christie orginazation and communication are top notch and her design was gorgeous! We are so happy with how the kitchen turned out and will definitely work with her team again in the future! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind words. Especially coming back for a second project. We loved working with you again and are so grateful for the trust you placed in our team throughout your kitchen remodel. > > We’re so excited for you to enjoy your new kitchen and would be honored to work together again in the future! **★★★★★ — aperni, Nov. 2025** > My husband and I were truly overwhelmed with our house renovation especially since the house we purchased was a midcentury modern and it wasn’t our particular style but the water views were amazing so we decided to take the challenge and renovate instead of tearing down. > Our builder introduced us to Christie and she was invested in our project from early architectural plans to the final touch ups. Over the 4 year renovation, Christie and our builder worked together seamlessly with each other and my family. She gave us the option of how involved we wanted to be with the design elements and we chose the middle ground of not having choices made for us but presented with a few options that she had narrowed down from thousands of options. Christie is truly a magician as with her creative style she coaxed us into appreciating the midcentury modern elements, and made an overwhelming renovation into a truly enjoyable and unique passion project. We would definitely use her creative talents again a thousand times no matter the style of house. Thank you Christie and your assistant Linda! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was an honor to be part of your design journey. I’m grateful for the trust you placed in my team and me. I’m so happy you love your home, and it means the world to be part of creating it with you. We’re always here when you need us, and thank you again! **★★★★★ — Amy Chaffin, Nov. 2025** > We had a terrific experience with Christie and her team. Christie really takes the time to evaluate the space, listen to your concerns or ideas, and assemble a plan for your project. She and her team were thoughtful and respectful of our time and budget at every step of the process. The space that we worked on with Christie is stunning. Her design ideas are original and sophisticated. Guests are completely blown away when they see the updates. I look forward to working with Christie and her team again soon! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure collaborating with you. We loved bringing your vision to life and are so thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying your new space. Knowing that the transformation wows your guests makes our day! > > We look forward to working with you again soon. **★★★★★ — HU-422731105, June 2025** > We moved from the city to Clarendon Hills last fall, and knew we wanted to work with a designer to help create the best spaces for us in our new home. After talking to a few options, it was clear Christie & her team were the right choice. They were organized, thoughtful, fun, and really got to know us even before we started the detailed work together. Throughout the process, they somehow understood what we needed more than we did! The designs were perfectly tailored to us and our lifestyle -- modern, cozy, and functional in our everyday crazy family life. They also kept us updated every week so we never had to worry about the pieces coming together. We loved working with Christie, Linda, and Kassidy and can't wait until our next project together! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you, Ranjani! You and your family have been wonderful to work with. We cannot wait to assist again in the future. Thanks again. **★★★★★ — joanne\_tarazi, June 2025** > We recently gave our kitchen a facelift and had the pleasure of working with the fabulous Christie Kenny of Christie Kenny Interiors. The end result was nothing short of amazing. > Just yesterday, we even had a magazine photo shoot in our kitchen—and of course, Christie was there to assist with staging and styling. It was an incredible experience! > Christie completely transformed our kitchen, taking our vague ideas and turning them into a stunning, functional space that perfectly reflects our style. She’s a strong advocate for sustainability and reducing waste, and did a fantastic job repurposing some of our existing cabinets—giving them a fresh new look. We were thrilled to both reduce our environmental impact and save money—two wins in one! > Her keen eye for detail, clear communication, and ability to stay within budget made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Christie and her team to anyone looking for a top-notch interior designer. > If you're considering a home update, I highly recommend reaching out to her: Christie Kenny Interiors (708) 218-8726 **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your excellent review! You have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to assisting you again in the future. Thanks again! Christie Kenny **★★★★★ — Geeta Wood, Dec. 2024** > We hired Christie to help with our kitchen/bathroom/mudroom remodel and we absolutely love the results! I had a very particular vision and Christie did such a great job making that vision come to life. I wanted a modern look but still wanted it to feel warm and inviting. She presented different options to us and was patient as I struggled to find just the right look I was going for. Remodels are stressful but she put me at ease and earned my trust right from the beginning. Christie and her assistant Linda were so fun to work with - I highly recommend! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind review, Geeta. Working with you and your family on your remodel has been an absolute pleasure. I look forward to assisting you in the future. Again, thank you for selecting Christie Kenny Interiors. **★★★★★ — Heidi Mulhall, April 2024** > Christie did an amazing job on my recent family room redo! She created a room that was not only beautiful but comfortable for my family. She was always quick to respond to questions and was patient when I had trouble making choices. She listened to my familys needs, was organized, and very through. I will definitely use Christie again on my next project! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you, Heidi! I appreciate your kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. I look forward to assisting you in the future. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Demetrios Doukas, Nov. 2023** > I HIGHLY recommend Christie Kenny Interiors. > > Christie was so easy to work with! She listens and organizes so many details its quite amazing. We enjoyed working with her so much she really was a friend to us. She was so easy to talk to and bounce ideas off that I will definitely use her again for our next housing project. > > We had a larger project that was initially a lot for us to mentally think about but she broke it down and made it seem so simple. Her attention to detail and making sure that your space is YOUR space really stood out to me. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > I appreciate your kind words. You, Yvette, and the kiddos have been so much fun to work with. Thank you for choosing us to assist you. > We are looking forward to assisting in the future. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Melissa Nuttall, Nov. 2023** > Absolutely loved working with Christie and her assistant! We were looking for a full service interior designer with creative ideas, a fresh and contemporary style and quality contractors and vendors. Christy is so thorough and came up with a design plan that met our design needs. Our new space is both functional and stylish...we love it! All of the contractors and vendors we worked with through Christy did great work and were really nice to work with. I highly recommend working with Christy Kenny Interiors and her team. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Melissa, thank you so much for your kind words! You and Jay have been such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to assisting you in the future. Thank you. **★★★★★ — Aimee Wing, Nov. 2023** > Christie Kenny's design expertise has been an absolute game-changer for our home. As the owner and designer, she played a pivotal role in customizing our home and making it a dream come true. From helping us decide on colors, lighting, materials, to expertly designing our bathrooms, kitchen, mudroom, and bedrooms, she demonstrated an exceptional level of skill and creativity. > > What truly sets Christie apart is her ability to gently nudge us out of our comfort zone, resulting in a home that's not only beautiful but also unique and tailored to our preferences. She was consistently available, from the very beginning to the end of our project, addressing our questions, being patient with our lack of decision-making skills, and accommodating changes. > > Christie's approach of presenting initial plans and then fine-tuning them according to our desires showed her dedication to creating a space that truly reflects our style. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome, and we owe it all to Christie! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thanks so much for your kind words, Aimee! You and your family have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I am so grateful for the opportunity to assist you in creating your dream home. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — HU-665868846, Nov. 2023** > It had been 18 years since I did any styling with our house. I was spurred into action by some damage to our walls by a bad ice dam one winter. Once that was fixed, I both needed to recarpet my entire house, and wanted to update my family room and bedroom for years, but couldn’t seem to find the direction I wanted to go in. I knew I needed some help. I started looking online for reviews about interior designers. I did look at portfolios but the most important thing to me was what clients thought about the actual designer. I feel like I might be easily swayed into accepting their style when it really might not be something that I deeply liked, because that had happened to me before. Christie Kenny’s reviews uniformly talked about how easy she was to work with, how caring she was, and about how she got to know her clients and what THEY liked and wanted. Boy, were those reviews right! And now, I can add 1 more testimonial to that list! > > I have been working with Christie since 2021. My original project was going to take a little while because of all the Covid delays. On top of this, I called Christie to reschedule more times than I would have ever imagined because I was taking care of my Mom and her health was failing. There seemed to always be an emergency happening. Christie was ALWAYS caring, comforting and would work around whatever was happening on my end. She is completely professional but so much more. She is also a wonderful person. She got to know me and my personal situation. She has become a good friend, but one who REALLY knows design! More importantly, she took the time and listened to me and now really knows my style and what I like! She has a great sense in knowing if I am on the fence about something and will come up with various options to choose from. At the same time, she has opened my eyes with new design ideas. > > I have already said this, but Christie has an absolutely great eye for design! My bedroom and family room are just stunning, and I could not possibly be happier. We even added putting a man cave together for my husband in our finished basement and he is now surrounded by all the things he enjoys! > > Working with Christie has been a joy. We are moving onto a new project with a guest bathroom remodel, and I am so confident that it will be a stunner, too. Christie takes really all of the worry - and certainly all of the footwork - out of the process. I actually look forward to every meeting and get together that we have. She is obviously passionate about what she does. She is very obviously so talented in her design eye and skill. But the best part of Christie Kenny Design is Christie Kenny herself. She is someone that I am so grateful I found for my house project because I also got to meet and know a really wonderful person. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Wow, thank you so much for your thoughtful review, David and Celeste! I appreciate it. You're both a pleasure to work with, and I'm so grateful. Again, thank you so much. > I'm looking forward to assisting with the bathroom remodel. **★★★★★ — Theresa Schulz, Dec. 2022** > Christie and I met for a few hours and she guided me through many ideas for my home. Just what I needed!! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Theresa, thank you very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure assisting you. I look forward to helping you in the future. **★★★★★ — Jeremy Kraft, Dec. 2022** > As a general contractor, I have worked closely with many designers over the years. Christie and I have worked on several projects together and she is by far and away the most organized, decisive and accessible designer I have ever worked with. Her plans are well thought out and clearly written which translates to easy execution. It makes what could be a very complicated project run seamlessly which is great for me but even better for her clients. Looking forward to more of the same in the future! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Jeremy, thank you so much for your kind words! You and your team are always such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to many more projects. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Josh Ries Construction, Inc, Dec. 2022** > New home 2022 > Christie was amazing! Organized, easy to work with, and very personable. Would love to work with her again! > \#BlackLakeHouse **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Josh, thank you so much for your kind words! You and your team are amazing. **★★★★★ — Michelle, Oct. 2022** > Christie was recommended to us by our architect. I really needed to work with someone who could guide me on the art and science of design. I had a bit of a vision of what I wanted but didn't know how or if it would all work together. I still remember Christie saying that when you have a well designed space, people will walk in and say, "oh what a nice space" and then they will start noticing the thoughtful details and start saying "oh look at that, oh look at that". We wrapped up our project in May of 2020 and therefore no one walked into the space. As we have emerged from pandemic life and are having people in our home again, exactly what she said is happening. People say, "Oh this is nice" and then start noticing depth of details that Christie added to our vision. Christie encouraged my husband and I to make the personal choices of finishes we liked and used her talented and skilled design eye to make those choices look natural and cohesive. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Michelle, thank you for your kind words. Working with you and your family was an absolute pleasure. Thank you so very much! **★★★★★ — HU-4656431, Dec. 2021** > Christie and team have been amazing! Although I love interior design I had no idea where to start when we bought our first home. I didn’t even know what look and feel I wanted or how to put my blurred vision together. When I contacted Christie to help with the interior of our new home, I could tell she was really listening to every word I was saying. I struggled with furniture placement, decor, and overall how to make the design of each room flow throughout the house. Everything she advised us on was perfect and watching our house come together with her expertise has been amazing. Each room has tuned out better than I could have imagined and cannot wait to see the completed producti! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much, Jessica! It has been such a blessing working with you and your family. I appreciate it and look forward to our continued collaboration. Thanks again, Christie. **★★★★★ — Chris Reagan, Dec. 2021** > Christie is great to work with - she has a "can do" attitude. She runs a very professional operation. She has excellent project management skills and collaborated very well with our builder. She has excellent design ideas that tied everything together. She is a pleasure to work with, easy going, flexible and always has a smile. I am extremely pleased with the kitchen remodel and would highly recommend her. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words, Chris. It has been an absolute pleasure assisting you with your Kitchen remodel. I look forward to helping you in the future. Thanks again, Christie. **★★★★★ — HU-596203319, Oct. 2021** > Christie is very professional and listens to your needs and likes. She designed our project from start to finish, and whenever I had a question she was promptly ready with an answer!! You won’t be disappointed! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind words, Natalie! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and your family. I look forward to assisting you again in the future. Kindest regards, Christie Kenny **★★★★★ — Faustin Pipal, July 2021** > Christie and her team are terrific. Creative, timely and very professional. She also kept her eye on the bottom line which we certainly appreciated. Project involved converting a second BR into an office and dog room. VERY happy with the result. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words, Frosty. It was such a pleasure working with you and April. Thank you, Christie. **★★★★★ — Sarah Steele, Feb. 2021** > Christie is so wonderful to work with. I'd highly recommend her! I used another designer prior to working with her, and I didn't feel that the first one understood what I wanted, and didn't seem to care too much about the project. In contrast, Christie really took the time to understand what our style is (and actually helped develop it more), and worked hard to make the project fit our house, lifestyle, and \*budget\*! She is realistic and knows how to work within a budget, using lots of resources. More than that, she is a total pleasure to work with, and I'll definitely go to her again. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much, Sarah. It has been an absolute pleasure assisting you. I look forward to assisting you in the future. Kindest Regards, Christie. **★★★★★ — Christie Martin, Dec. 2020** > Christie Kenny is a joy to work with. Having worked very hard to restore our period home, we had ‘white walled’ rooms planning to come back and add color. Then the years started to pass...until Christie came in bringing her natural eye for style and color. Within a few short weeks our house transformed into the home we had originally dreamed. Christie is a wonderfully professional designer bringing with her a warm, engaging, and humble demeanor that motivates her client to move forward confidently with their desired project. I highly recommend Christie Kenny Interiors and am so pleased to have had the experience of working with her! Thank you Christie! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words, Christine! It has been an absolute pleasure assisting you with your beautiful home. I look forward to helping you in the future. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — HU-620717057, Aug. 2020** > Christie Kenny has amazing talent and creativity! She put so much effort forth in getting to know our family including our likes and dislikes. She put her heart into creating a space that brings our family together to spend quality time in comfort and class! And she did this all within a small budget. I can't thank her or recommend her enough! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! I appreciate it. I look forward to assisting you in the future. Thanks again, Christie. **★★★★★ — jilllaughter83, Aug. 2020** > You can not go wrong hiring this woman. She did my paint colors at old house and now current house and I will continue to hire her for updates throughout the house. Worth every single penny! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Jill, you’re so kind! I always enjoy working with you and your family. Thank you, Christie! **★★★★★ — Rachel Frederick, June 2020** > Definitely would recommend hiring. Christie Met all my needs quickly and efficiently. Very helpful in answering all questions and working within my budget. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words, Rachel. It's always such a pleasure working with you and your family. Thank you, Christie. **★★★★★ — Tareena McCann, June 2020** > Amazing work on our basement!! Classy and functional. She really gets to know her clients to understand their need and their style **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words, Tareena! I appreciate you and your family and always enjoy working with you. Thank so much, Christie. **★★★★★ — 12/12 Architects & Planners, Feb. 2020** > We have known Christie for over 10 years, and know her to be one of the best interior designers we've ever worked with. She is an excellent designer, and her customer service is head and shoulders above the rest. She is courteous, responsive, knows how to stay on budget and on schedule, and will not disappoint. We recommend her without hesitation to all of our architectural clients. **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Thank you, Cinda! I appreciate your kind words. I look forward to assisting you and your clients in the future. Thanks again. **★★★★★ — Lisa Stach, Dec. 2019** > Working with Christie is like working with a best friend. She is a full-service professional who will work with you to create a space personally tailored to your needs and tastes. I can't recommend her highly enough - my home is gorgeous! **Comment from Christie Kenny Interiors:** > Lisa, thank you! It has been such a pleasure working with you. I have enjoyed every minute. I’m glad you’re enjoying your beautiful new home. I look forward to assisting you in the future. **★★★★★ — Mary Purcell, Oct. 2019** > Christie is so nice to work with and did a wonderful job helping with me set up our house while we are listing it for sale. ## Selected projects - [Palm to Prairie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palm-to-prairie-pj-vj~7849382) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: This full-home renovation was designed to balance timeless sophistication with comfortable everyday living.
