She does an excellent job of determining your taste in decor/design and did a great job of planning the entire project before renovation started. Most importantly, she does not overwhelm one with choices, but guides you perfectly. Exceptional attributes are her attention to details, follow through with deliveries and installations and her ability to work well with the renovation team. Her experience and creativity allow her to think outside the box when challenges arise. Her personality is cheerful, yet professional, and she was an absolute joy to work with! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > It was such fun working with you and your family. Lots of laughing makes work so much more enjoyable! Thank you so much for letting me help get your city spot in tiptop shape! ### All 39 reviews **★★★★★ — Robert Raffeld, July 2026** > I cannot begin to describe how happy I am with Allison's help with my project. The scope of my re-model included re-finishing wood kitchen cabinets, carpeting, area rugs, redesigning living room and den with new lighting and furniture, and re-positioning and hanging the art work on my walls. Her diligence and response to my questions and concerns went above and beyond my high expectations. She has clearly accumulated over the course of her career significant experience and a wealth of sources to draw on. Furthermore, she is a pleasure to work with! I am looking forward to my next project with her next year. **★★★★★ — Zoe, Jan. 2025** > It was great working with Allison, and I would gladly recommend her. I needed to do several smaller projects throughout my house, furnishings, paint, some cosmetic configurations, etc. Other designers were not willing to work with me if I was not going to do a full remodel or spend $100k+. Allison, however, was not only willing to work with me but made me feel my project was just as important as other bigger ones. She is extremely responsive and professional and got moving quickly. She has great suggestions and advice, and is really willing to work with whatever your style is. She helped me to select paint colors, furnishings, how to arrange furniture, and more. She also has a lot of contacts for every design need like painters, contractors, etc. I am so pleased with the results and would definitely work with her on any future projects. **★★★★★ — HU-331930326, Jan. 2025** > We had the pleasure of working with Allison to furnish our condo, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the start, Allison demonstrated incredible professionalism and attention to detail, guiding us through every step of the process. What stood out most was her ability to coordinate seamlessly with the electrician, plumber, painters, and the building management team—ensuring everything was handled smoothly and without delay. > > One of the highlights was Allison’s white-glove service. She not only provided expert design suggestions but also oversaw deliveries and installations personally, making sure everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. Every vendor involved was carefully selected and communicated with, allowing us to sit back and relax as the entire project came together effortlessly. > > Additionally, we were given realistic timelines, setting clear expectations and keeping us informed throughout. The result was a beautifully furnished space without any of the usual stress or surprises. > > If you’re looking for a designer who can deliver top-tier design, manage logistics with precision, and treat your home like their own, we highly recommend Allison Henry. Her professionalism and dedication to excellence made all the difference in creating a space we love. **★★★★★ — Mark, March 2024** > Allison did an incredible job helping us decorate our home. She is insightful, creative, and is very good at finding interesting pieces within budget. We would highly recommend her for any interior design needs! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you! It's been a pleasure working with you and I love how your home is coming together! :) **★★★★★ — Christine Greiner, Feb. 2024** > Allison is a creative designer, a reliable person and has the patience of a saint. Her follow through and final products are impeccable. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > You know I love working with you both! And you've got one of the coolest homes I've worked in! **★★★★★ — fthiemonge, Feb. 2024** > Allison has been helping us with various home projects over the past four years. She has her stamp on at least half of the interior design of our home and we plan to continue working with her for the other half in the coming years. Allison is easy to work with, efficient, has great taste yet can bend to ours as needed (like when we want to use pre-existing furniture here and there), and she works with several subs (painters, carpenters, etc) so we can always just hand the job off to her to "get it done". We look forward to working with Allison on future projects and would recommend her to anyone. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > It has been such a pleasure working with you and your family over the years and I am thrilled to see everyone enjoying your lovely home. I look forward to our continued collaboration! **★★★★★ — Gina, Nov. 2022** > Allison provided cost-effective yet project-enhancing advice across our projects such as lighting and wallpaper and paint. She guided us to stay within our budget with magnificent results. We had selected the flooring and cabinetry before we hired her and she helped us bring the whole condo together! It is comfortable to live in and yet stunning. We had started with two units and our goal was to bring the two halves into a single look and feel. She helped us to bring our vision to reality. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you, Gina! It was so fun working with you and Bill and I'm so happy you are enjoying your new home. **★★★★★ — Paige, Oct. 2021** > Allison supported me in the redesign of a Primary Bathroom. If I could give more than 5 stars to Allison, I would. What a joy to work with such a talented and creative designer. She listened and worked to quickly understand my style and preferences - and then collaborated with me to stretch my own thinking, introducing me to new and interesting design elements. All I can say is - I loved working with Allison and I love my bathroom! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thanks Paige! You're the one who gets 5+ stars for being such an awesome client. I had so much fun working with you and am so happy you are enjoying your bathroom! **★★★★★ — lindamurrain, May 2021** > Allison Henry Interior Design is OUTSTANDING!!! I live in Chicago and work on the east coast 5 days a week...I had some water damage and needed to get it repaired. In working with Allison it became easy to do a complete makeover of my entire 3B, 3B unit. She is extremely creative, task oriented and flexible. My husband was totally against using a 'decorator' and he now raves about working with her!!! She will always be my choice when I have a need. Allison coordinated the general contractor and kept things on track, worked with my schedule, made things simple and easy, while ensuring we stayed within my budget. I LOVE my place...it is a complete redesign, I LOVE my furniture (things I saw in pictures which she found) and I LOVE how my guests talk about how beautiful my place is. I hate to leave home. AHID made my vision better than I imagined. Allison was GREAT to work with!!! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much, Linda! It was so fun working with you both. I always looked forward to our meetings and am thrilled that you love everything so much. It turned out great. I'm sorry it's over! Haha You made things easy, even though you weren't in town. I would certainly love to work with you again if you ever need anything! **★★★★★ — Julia Watt, March 2019** > Allison is definitely the best interior designer we have ever worked with. It didn't take long for her to totally 'get' our style and we easily found the items we needed for our home. She is very good at her profession and goes above and beyond for her clients. We are so happy with Allison and we will not hesitate to call her for future needs. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Such a fabulous place AND fabulous clients- hard to find! It was wonderful to work with you both and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. I hope you and the family get to enjoy often! **★★★★★ — c k, Feb. 2019** > Allison was amazing. She helped us redo a kitchen, put in hard wood floors, redo lighting for many of the rooms and choose paint colors the whole house among other things. The bulk of the work was the kitchen. We chose the appliances, but she helped source everything else. She helped us go through the bids to choose a contractor. She was quick to respond and always had time for discussion whether by email, by phone or in person. Her work was on time and our project finished within our timeframe. And importantly, her ideas were amazing. we love everything she came up with and to this day, our kitchen is the favorite room in the house! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for your review! I really enjoyed working on your home and was thrilled with the way your kitchen turned out! I'm glad you all are enjoying it so much! **★★★★★ — Corinne S, Feb. 2019** > Working with Allison was the best thing that happened during our project! We were in the midst of a large home renovation with a contractor and had so many things to consider we were in a bit over our heads! Allison took a. methodical approach working her way through the project first by helping us to sort out more permanent choices such as tiling, cabinetry, lighting, bathroom ideas, etc as needed for the contractor and then moving on to more decor choices such as paint colors, furnishings etc. Her eye was able to stay with the big picture to create a cohesive home that we love! I would absolutely hire her again when the time comes. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > And I would absolutely love working with you again! Thank you for the review! The sense of adventure you both have gave me a chance to work with new materials and color palettes, which is always the most fun for a designer! We made a great team! **★★★★★ — Blanca Kaufman, Feb. 2019** > We hired Allison after seeing her work at a friend's home. From start to finish (we built custom) Allison was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. My husband and I have very different tastes and Allison was patient, asked questions and most importantly listened. She was able to make suggestions that satisfied us both resulting in a beautifully designed home that reflects our personalities and works with our lifestyle. Thank you Allison, we would not have been able to do this without you! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the wonderful review! It has been such great fun working with you both over the past couple of years- I always look forward to seeing you and am here to help with anything you need moving forward! **★★★★★ — daryl watson, Jan. 2019** > I worked with Allison for approximately 2 years renovating my condo. Allison was great to work with. She's reliable, flexible and full of great ideas. I would highly recommend her, without reservation, to anyone. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you, Daryl! I would highly recommend you as a client!! :) It was great fun to see the transformation of your condo and I am going to miss that stellar view! Enjoy your new space! **★★★★★ — Kyle Cole, Jan. 2019** > We are so grateful to have worked with Allison on the decorating of our new home. She was a critical part of our team—great sense of humor, smart, great listener, and just very thoughtful. While she has a wealth of knowledge and experience, she didn’t push a vision on us, as much as work with us to understand our tastes and guide us toward making the right decisions. Overall, we worked together for about 6 months and successfully designed and furnished our entire main floor and master suite – on time and on budget. Thank you so much Allison! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > It was such a pleasure working with you both! Our meetings were so fun and your home turned out great! We made a great team!! Thank YOU so much for trusting me to help you create your dream home! **★★★★★ — Laura Yepez, Jan. 2019** > Allison was great to work with. She was patient, flexible, and always available. We had a huge project than ran over 18 months. The project included 9 guest rooms, 10 bathrooms, and a gourmet kitchen with eating and living space. Each each room was carefully designed with unique touches yet still included similar elements so they boast the same amenities. I've received a ton of positive feedback on the renovation and my business has improved dramatically as a result. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review, Laura! This has got to be one of my all-time favorite projects! It was so fun working with you and I am so happy everyone likes it! **★★★★★ — Rana Abraham, Jan. 2019** > Allison is an excellent interior designer and I really enjoy working with her. Allison helped me pick paint colors and all furnishings for our new construction home. She is very professional, responsive and dependable. She not only has a exceptional talent for color and composition, but is competent in media and material. Additional, Allison is able to work with any budget and style from very high end to economical. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for your review, Rana! I have really enjoyed working and laughing with you over the course of your project and beyond! **★★★★★ — Kristen Buss, March 2018** > Loved working with Allison and I am so happy with how my loft space has turned out. Allison has vision, patience and flexibility to scale based on her clients needs. Such great ideas and solutions to accommodate varying complexities and interests. Not to mention a fun process. Thank you Allison ; I can't wait for phase 2 ! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review, Kristen! It was really fun working with you and I can't wait to come to a party in your cool and artsy loft! Let's get some of your gorgeous sketches on the walls! **★★★★★ — Monica Getzendanner, Feb. 2018** > Allison provided design services for a condo bathroom remodel last July. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable about tiles, fixtures, paint,and accessories, and unfailing cheerful. I am enlisting her services again for a few other remodeling projects...I recommend her highly as a designer and decorator. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for your review. It was easy to be cheerful while working with you! I look forward to doing more with you when you are ready! **★★★★★ — Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, Dec. 2017** > We've worked with Allison Henry Interior Design out of our Chicago showroom for several years. Always a pleasure to work with, and they are great advocates for their clients' needs and budgets. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for the review. I LOVE Tufenkian rugs. They are so beautiful I wish I could use every single one! And, of course, I love working with Emily in the Chicago showroom! So much fun- and she knows her stuff! **★★★★★ — copans, Oct. 2016** > We hired Allison to assist in several facets of the renovation of our home. She helped us with paint selection, window treatments (35 windows!), and furniture layout. This was an extensive remodel of a 120 year old house which required her to think creatively about ways to freshen up and brighten up an otherwise very old fashion space. > > She was efficient, flexible and creative throughout the entire project. I would highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — ichentx, June 2016** > I did a two-hour consultation with Allison to pick condo paint colors and furniture layout. Allison was very professional and communicative. I used all her suggestions and it turned out great. I also hired the contractors she recommended. They both did a great job with a reasonable price. I highly recommend Allison's services. **★★★★★ — Karen Leone, Feb. 2015** > I worked with Fusion Interior Design, and specifically Allison Henry, for the duration of the 18 month renovation of our home. Allison was extremely professional, yet warm and friendly, and was always responsive and available. I also found the costs to be reasonable and the billing procedures to be straight forward and timely. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for your review. It has been a pleasure to continue working with you and your family over the years! **★★★★★ — Kelly Spehar, Jan. 2015** > Allison was a pleasure to work with. She listened to our needs and came back with great options for us. We worked quickly and efficiently. She worked great with the contractors and did her best to keep them on time and budget. She found us a beautiful kitchen armoire which made our kitchen design. She helped us create a layout for our kitchen and bathroom that made the most of our small Chicago loft and kept it inviting for entertaining. Even though our work is complete, she continues to be responsive to our questions and needs. One opportunity is to ensure she tracks your billing and invoices very closely. We would highly recommend Allison. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for submitting a review. We appreciate it and look forward to helping you with anything you need now or in the future! **★★★★★ — cathyosika, Jan. 2015** > Fusion Interiors are an extremely professional and talented group. They bring to every project, no matter what scale of type, a unique and interesting perspective and wonderful inventive designs. They work in a timely fashion meeting expectations for projects that are often quick paced. They are incredibly respectful of our clients budgets and work well with finding the appropriate places to budget the entire project. Besides that, they are just really charming and fun to work with and always, even in stressful times, bring calm and good cheer to each person working on the project. After working with them for over 15 years, we would recommend them to all of our clients. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review, Cathy! We can't think of another architecture firm in this whole, wide world that we would rather work with! **★★★★★ — Angel Stech, Jan. 2015** > Fusion Interior Design is a wonderful, professional & dedicated design company. This team of two helped design our entry way, living room, den, dining room, kitchen & master bedroom! The work lasted 2 1/2 years. We continue to use them for any little project! > > We started with a newly built home, completely vanilla. They came to our home & immediately started to get to know us. We choose Fusion because they had done a wide range of design work. They were not the "one size fits all" company. Over several meetings they got to know our family and our design style! Through this process we became great friends! > > Then they presented several professional floor plans. I was blown away at the detail & level of knowledge they enbody. We choose the floor plan we loved & they took care of everything. I mean everything & constantly updated us on the progressive of custom pieces to ordered pieces. > > Krista & Allison have been in the design business for years & it shows with the level of quality connections they have in Chicago. Our drapes, custom furniture pieces, & small construction work were handled by companies they have used & trusted. I was confident in their choices & our pieces came out better than I hoped! > > We had used one other design company & was very unhappy. Once we turned to Fusion it was a great match. If your looking for a wonderful experience look no further than Fusion! I could never recommend them enough. > > Thank you Krista & Allison you both rock, > The Stechs **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > YOU are the one that rocks! You and your wonderfully sweet family! Thank you for being such an awesome client. It was a pleasure working with you and thank you so much for your trust. We are thrilled with the results and so glad you are too! **★★★★★ — rmmamm, Jan. 2015** > I hired Allison to help with our home remodeling which included 2 bathrooms, living room, den, and bedroom. She was amazing at understanding my tastes, respecting my budget, and helping instruct and drive the construction workers. I loved that she narrowed down paint, tile and hardware choices and gave me different cost levels. The finished product was amazing and very close to budget and schedule. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > We are glad you are enjoying your new spaces and can't wait to work with you again soon! Thank you for the review. We had a great time working with you! **★★★★★ — zimmpa, Jan. 2015** > I have worked with Alison Henry from Fusion Interior Design. She is insightful and intuitive about her clients tastes. She creates rooms that are beautiful, but also functional. She makes the whole process a lot of fun. Going to the Mart with her is like a shopping trip with your best girlfriend. I have enjoyed working with Alison on two houses and now that it's time for some updates, she's the person I'll be calling again. I'm looking forward to it! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > We have SO enjoyed working with you over the years. It's always fun to work with someone who really shares our love of art and design. We have even learned a thing or two from YOU! **★★★★★ — carololsen14, Jan. 2015** > Allison of Fusion Interior Design was originally referred to me by a friend whose bathroom she designed and I hired her to help me with a new condo. My original request was for assitance with paint color choices, a furniture layout design and a dining table & chairs. She was amazing in selecting a cohesive color scheme - she was able to keep with my aesthetic but push me a bit outside my comfort zone (darker paint color, which I love!). Similarly, the Herman Miller dining chairs she steered me towards are absolutely perfect in my home; yet, I would never have chosen these without her help. She also found the perfect rug to complement the dining area, had custom shades made for my office and more. She was respectful of time and budget and I am already making plans to work with her again. I cannot recommend her enough! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thanks, Carol! We are glad we nudged you out of your comfort zone! Thank you for trusting us. We are so happy you are enjoying that awesome space! **★★★★★ — marne123, Jan. 2015** > Fusion Interior Design is a great company to work with for any size project. Krista and Allison are willing to work with any budget which is nice because if you only want one room done at a time, they will accommodate your request. They are very professional and friendly. They both respond to requests via texting, emails, or phone in a very timely manner. We have had so many compliments on how nice our house looks. We would have never been able to pick out the paint colors, railings, furniture, and fireplace design on our own. Everything just flows so nicely throughout the house. The accessories that Krista chose added just the right touch and she has really made our house a home. We would highly recommend Fusion Interior Design. Krista and Allison are a great team. My husband and I really enjoyed working with them and we would definitely work with them again on future projects. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you, Marne! We had a lot of fun working with you and your family and would love to work with you again in the future! **★★★★★ — bc0808, Jan. 2015** > My experience working w/ Fusion was overall great experience. Fusion designed our lakefront condo with myself being absent fromt the location. They made the process very easy, and kept me informed throughout the process. More importantly, their vision and end result of our decor is phenomenal. We didn't have a lot of instruction or guidance throughout the process, so they had to rely on their vision and experience which ended up being better than anything i could have envisioned. Fusion made the whole process an enjoyable one and I can't say enough about the great job they did. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review! We had a great time working on your fabulous condo, although the views of the lake could be VERY distracting at times... Haha You were such a pleasure to work with and we are so glad you were happy with the results! We hope you have lots of chances to enjoy it! **★★★★★ — Nancy & Keith Swanson, Jan. 2015** > We were renovating a wonderful space in the Gold Coast and needed help to facilitate selection and purchasing for the entire space. We live in the Chicago area on a part time basis, so trusting someone with the "on site" presence was important. We were fortunate to work with Allison and found her ability to collaborate with the architect, contractor and with us was superior. She was able to allow us the necessary input into the decision making, that was a priority for me. She is a great communicator and her listening skills are very adept. She learned quickly my taste and desired outcomes and was sensitive to budget without sacrificing design. She challenged me when appropriate but welcomed my ideas. I truly feel the outcome is outstanding. I would recommend her highly! **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > One of our favorite projects! We had a great time working with you and the architects on this project. Everything came together so smoothly! Thank you for allowing us to help you achieve your design goals- and thank you for your kind review! **★★★★★ — trien8786, Jan. 2015** > My wife and I decided to remodel 2 bathrooms, kitchen and have it all tie in with a mid century modern feel in our living areas. > We full well knew what we did not want, however what we wanted we could not articulate after visiting showroom after showroom and meetings with contractors. > > Thru a business relation I was introduced to Allison Henry of Fusion Interior Design. In our initial meeting she had us doing all the talking while continuing to probe us. In a follow up meeting Allison outlined ideas she felt fit our house, personality, while keeping in mind that the house had to appeal to more than just us since a move within 5-7 years was on the horizon. > > Obviously budget plays a part whether you're a millionaire/billionare, or reasonably well off. Thru my own field I know that for most people a budget is a "made up figure not based in reality" We all know what a mercedes costs, a remodel? Another story. Fusion Design presented us with choices that made very clear the corresponding costs of design/construction decisions. This clarity allowed us to work up a budget before start of the work we felt would create a wonderful result with a $ figure we found to be a great investment in our property. > > Allison also dealt with all contractors, timelines, budgets and scheduled pay outs. The result left us very happy. > > I cannot say enough good things about Allison and Fusion, I highly recommmend them and have done so to others, all were pleased. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > We had a great time working with you on your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — djgallery, Jan. 2015** > Worked with Allison Henry of Fusion Interior Design over the two year renovation of our home. Working full time, it was wonderful to have a talented, professional design partner that stuck to schedules, interfaced well with other professionals on our team, and, most importantly, listened so well. We developed a flexible, efficient working partnership that saved us time while still allowing us to be involved in decision choices. Allison brings a combination of professional training, an informed eye on color and detail combined with a fresh take on design. Result - a timeless, comfortable aesthetic that reflects our own point of view and that we continue to enjoy. We were thoroughly satisfied with our experience, have often recommended Allison and Fusion to others, and do not hesitate to call on her as new things come up. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review! We are so happy to have had the chance to work on your fabulous house. It was a lot of fun working with you! **★★★★★ — Covers Unlimited Corporation, Jan. 2015** > I have worked with Allison and Krista for years and consider myself lucky to know them. Their attention to detail along with focused clarity of thought and proper instruction make each and every job we work with them on a delight. Their projects always end up elegant and comforting to all the senses. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review and thank you for being a company that we can ALWAYS count on to help us realize our design goals. And make us laugh while doing it! **★★★★★ — nanciekingmertz, Jan. 2015** > We have offered framing and installation services to Fusion I D for several years.

We have always enjoyed working with you and love your selection of frames and matting! **★★★★★ — rdoerge, Dec. 2014** > I have had Krista and Allison do multiple projects on my home over the 10+ years I have worked with them. They are timely, organized, efficient and always come with a flexible plan. They will give you budgeted time estimates which are very helpful when planning your project. Also, they get me going in the right direction but with enough insight and vision to be able to adjust it to where I want to go. THey are very good about knowing where to make more of an investment and where you might be able to spend less. They are very efficient with both my money and my time. > > I highly recommend them.

It's been a lot of fun! **★★★★★ — AllChicagoLofts.com / @properties, July 2013** > I am a Realtor that had a serious dilemma. My very loyal client had tried to buy 2 unique properties and the deals had not made it to the closing table. He wanted a space that was unusual and not cookie cutter. I finally convinced him to buy condo that had the right bones, but need the interior re-imagined. I helped him by a foreclosed condo and then he hired Allison to design space and coordinate the construction. My clients rehabbed timber loft is beautiful and he is thrilled. Allison interrupted his wants, needs and ideas and created a gorgeous space that is fresh, clean and fits the personality of the client. I would highly recommend Allison to all my clients. **Comment from Allison Henry Interior Design:** > Thank you for the review. We enjoyed working on this challenging project with these fun clients and look forward to working with you again soon! ## Selected projects - [Gold Coast Neutral](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gold-coast-neutral-pj-vj~856193) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Lincoln Park Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-classic-pj-vj~856043) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 9 - [Lincoln Park Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-family-home-pj-vj~2814591) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 9 - [Kenilworth Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kenilworth-family-home-pj-vj~1731477) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Mid Century Modern Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-townhouse-pj-vj~2814634) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 15 - [Colorful in Lakeview](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-in-lakeview-pj-vj~1271852) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - [Contemporary Grand Rapids Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-grand-rapids-home-pj-vj~976440) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - [Portage Park Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portage-park-kitchen-pj-vj~5572989) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 3 - [Romantic Jamaican Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/romantic-jamaican-villa-pj-vj~998163) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Old Town Bachelor Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-town-bachelor-pad-pj-vj~1271872) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - [City Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-traditional-pj-vj~6043417) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 11 - [Wicker Park Inn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wicker-park-inn-pj-vj~6119350) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 4 [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/allison-henry-interior-design-pfvwus-pf~92321005) ## Video - [Company video](https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/2605401/sp/260540100/playManifest/entryId/1_5belfrve/format/applehttp/protocol/https/a.m3u8) ## Frequently Asked Questions **What types of interior design projects do you specialize in (full-home, single room, remodel support)?** We specialize in a wide range of interior design projects, from comprehensive full-home transformations to single-room designs like kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas.

Question about chairs.** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi Allison, Amazing work. Do you do any work in the Wash DC area or only around Chicago? Love your table & chairs. I recently ordered a similar bookmatched table (had to do a lot of work to get one within budget). Mine is in walnut, 124" x 45" bookmatched, 2 pieces. Now trying to find chairs and love these ones (and also like the ones in your Grand Rapids project). Do you mind sharing the source of these chairs (if you prefer, you can email me at aslam@post.harvard.edu). Much appreciated. Thanks! A: Hello Has! Thank you for your note! This is one of my favorite projects! I am going to send an email to the address you listed above. Best, Allison **Q: In this bedroom what is this fabric** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the fabric used in the master bedroom on the bed. It is a great pick. Thank you Carla A: Thank you, Carla! I'm not sure which fabric you are asking about but the fabric on the headboard is from Donghia and so is the light green wool blend sheer hanging behind the bed. The fabric on the bedspread is from Pollack & Associates. **Q: beautiful curtains** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you purchase the curtains? A: Thank you for your question! These curtains were custom made and installed by a local workroom to our specifications. We used a fabric by Carolyn Ray that was hand-painted. You can find more information regarding where you can purchase the fabrics at http://www.carolynray.com. **Q: Stunning!** *(in Photo Questions)* What material did you use for the entry moulding? A: Thank you for your comment and question! This is just wood moulding custom designed by the architect. We specified a high gloss paint by Benjamin Moore to finish it. **Q: Could you please tell me what material was used for the moulding in th** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Sabrina- The trim is all made of wood with a painted finish. Thank you for your question! **Q: Trim Color** *(in Photo Questions)* I struggling with the trim in my home. I LOVE this! Is it painted? If so, can you please share the brand and color??? Thank you so much! A: Hi Christina! Thank you for your question. The trim is, indeed, painted. The color that you see readily on the trim is Benjamin Moore \#999 Rustic Taupe. If you look closer, you will see that the window sashes are painted a darker color for more definition. That color is Benjamin Moore \#1547 Dragon's Breath. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
