Allison Henry Interior Design

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.

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.

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.

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!

Allison is a creative designer, a reliable person and has the patience of a saint. Her follow through and final products are impeccable.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

Allison Henry is one of the most reliable professionals I have ever worked with. 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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We have offered framing and installation services to Fusion I D for several years. They make excellent decisions for their clients, keeping budget and style in mind.

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. And the finish project is always fabulous.

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.
