Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 30, 2013
“Robert from Modlife has an incredible eye for finding stunning Mid-Century pieces. He also has the ability to pick furniture pieces and "recreate" them with updated fabric. I have purchased Mid-Century chairs from Modlife and also had him create ones that we could not locate in order to match the rest of our furniture. He is easy to work with and super creative!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 13, 2012
“I hired Lugbill Designs for a kitchen renovation and was very impressed! Erica Lugbill has a terrific design eye and a talent for making a space really pop. She is extremely professional, courteous, and shows tremendous attention to detail. I couldn't be happier with the end results and will use Lugbill Designs for design work for many years to come.”
Queen Bee Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 13, 2014
“I have worked with Laura since we bought our house 8 years ago. She has done an amazing job at helping us decorate to our tastes -- but at least 10x better than we could have done on our own. She's helped us understand the space, what furniture will fit in it, the colors that will work best, etc. I think she's actually saved us money because every choice is well thought out -- we do not have to later discard items that do not fit or that do not coordinate well. Laura is very efficient and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Our most recent work was with Paulina Cervantes who came to us with a very clear vision as to the design, color and concept she was looking for.

“Alessia of reDesign Home was an absolute delight to work with! After learning about my needs, likes, and vision, she presented three ideas -- each as good as the next. Her ability to combine multiple elements in a harmonious way that feels classic yet modern and elegant yet inviting is remarkable, and I'd recommend her services to anyone. Thank you so much, Alessia!”

The work of a professional can make all the difference. Whether your home has 10 bedrooms, or your apartment is 800 square feet, it can be tricky to create a cohesive look that is representative of your style. That's where a local Chicago interior designer comes in. A home interior decorator will help distill your tastes and ideas into a design that suits the needs of your space. Whether you need help creating a functional space plan, rearranging existing pieces, designing the inside of a new home, or simply sourcing amazing furniture and decor, seeking the help of professional home interior designers and house decorators in Chicago, IL is a must.

What does an interior designer do?


A good home design professional will hone your style down to its very essence and be able to choose a functional layout that feels natural to you. Interior design companies can be involved as much or as little as the client desires. Many clients who hire a house interior decorator in Chicago, IL — particularly those who are remodeling — have a good sense of how the room should look and what products they should use. Often clients will insist that interior design contractors use the products already present in the house. Other times a designer will need to start from scratch — especially if this is a newly purchased or just-built home. An interior design firm will need to figure out exactly what the client needs, which includes organizing rooms, picking flooring and wall colors, and finding furniture to complement it all. Sometimes that means he or she will have to recruit help from other Chicago, IL home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.

Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator in Chicago, IL. Ask yourself what you want your space to become and what it will be used for. Figure out the extent of what you need help with, what your must-haves are and what your budget is. Interior design services can add up fast, so be up front with a potential design firm or individual from the beginning. Also, pick an interior decorator that fits your style. Browse through the portfolios of different Chicago interior design firms and decide if you would live in those houses. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you could live in it. There's a big difference!

Questions to ask when you meet with local Chicago interior designers:


  • Can you give me a referral? (It makes a big difference to talk with a client who's worked with the designer before.)
  • Can I see your design portfolio?
  • When will the home renovation be done?
  • Do you charge an hourly rate or a flat rate, or use the cost-plus method or a mixed method?
