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.”
ANAHITA Studio
Kitchen Designers in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 13, 2022
“We loved working with Ana. She gave us a great consultation on our kitchen remodel. We had a constrained budget; however, Ana was incredibly accommodating to our needs and budget restrictions and gave us great suggestions for cabinet color, countertop material, appliance/fixture sourcing, and furniture (bar stools) selection that integrated perfectly with our desired aesthetic. We were able to execute her design suggestions easily with her guidance and everything ultimately came in within budget to our delight. The final result is a very clean, modern kitchen that we absolutely love! We were so pleased with her work that we asked her to help us with remodeling our tenants kitchen downstairs. She chose neutral but modern colors and helped us choose countertops that would be durable without compromising style. She has a very good eye for clean, modern spaces that are functional and attractive, and she is good about listening to your requirements and proposing designs that work for your needs. I highly recommend working with her.”
MJM Interiors, Inc.
Kitchen Designers in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 23, 2013
“I hired Mary (MJM Interiors) to assist with an update of most rooms in my house, including the master bedroom, family room, living room, kitchen and office. Mary was extremely professional and responsive. She had me start by utilizing the Houzz website to assist her with looks or schemes that I liked. Once she had a better sense of what I was looking for, she was able to provide me with a number of different options at different price points, including looks I had never considered, that actually looked much better than anything I came up with. She was very patient with my questions/concerns, as well as creative with solutions that stayed well within my budget. Her attention to detail was exquisite and her responses to my large number of questions were timely and helpful. I was not looking forward to updating my house, but Mary made the process very easy and my house looks amazing. Everyone I have recommended MJM to has also been very satisfied. I would absolutely hire MJM again if I ever need additional design assistance.”
Queen Bee Interiors
Kitchen Designers 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.”

“Christine was amazing to work with. She listened to what I was looking for and conscious of my budget. I have received so many compliments on my home! Christine made sure that my house was not only beautiful, but also practical for my family. My husband and I have young children and a dog. I can't say enough good things about Christine! I will definitely use her for all future projects.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 10, 2018
“Dual Concept Design has been a pleasure to work with. We have done number of projects with them and they are very professional team to work with. 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. Seeing the rugs, they chose, in the completed space was outstanding. Congratulations with your completed design.”

Interior Designer or Decorator FAQs
The duration of a kitchen design project varies widely based on scope, but a complete kitchen renovation can typically take 3 to 6 months from initial design to completion. Planning and design might take 1 to 2 months, while construction and installation will take another 2 to 4 months. Remember, customization and material availability can impact these timelines.
Kitchen designers are knowledgeable about the latest design trends and materials, ensuring your kitchen is both stylish and functional. Sustainable materials and smart kitchen technologies are currently popular, as are designs that promote open spaces and natural light. Quartz remains a top choice for countertops due to its durability and aesthetic variety. Your designer can help you navigate these options, balancing current trends with timeless design principles.
Before consulting a kitchen designer, gather inspiration (photos, magazines, online boards) to clarify your aesthetic preferences. Also, think critically about your budget and functional needs (e.g., cooking habits, number of users, storage requirements). Being clear about your needs and wants will help the designer create a tailored solution.
The most common challenges include staying within budget, making decisions among numerous options, and managing the disruption of construction. Experienced kitchen designers address these by establishing a clear budget upfront, guiding homeowners in making informed decisions, and creating a detailed project timeline. Regular communication is key to navigating unforeseen issues smoothly.
Expect regular updates and open communication channels throughout your project. Professional kitchen designers often use project management software to track progress and decisions, ensuring transparency. Meetings at key milestones for approvals and feedback are standard. Itʼs reasonable to expect responsiveness within 24-48 hours for any inquiries you may have during the project.
To achieve a balance between trendiness and timelessness, focus on incorporating trends through easily changeable elements like paint colors or hardware, while keeping foundational elements (e.g., cabinetry, flooring) classic and durable. Your kitchen designer can guide you in selecting materials and designs that reflect current trends without sacrificing longevity or comfort.
