Queen Bee Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Evanston
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.”
Michelle's Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Evanston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 4, 2013
“We hired Michelle to help us redesign our master bath and are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We wanted to create a spa like setting complete with a larger shower, luxury whirlpool and other creature comforts that women enjoy. Michelle came up with a stunning design that involved some changes of moving a wall, adding pocket doors and relocating some of the plumbing. Her plan included all the materials to be considered for the project and paint colors. We love the whirlpool that is large enough for two and has these fancy lights that change colors as the pool is on. Her design incorporated the existing master bedroom and she helped us with some ideas there also. Michelle is very creative, full of energy and an absolute joy to work with. There are many great designers in Chicago and she is definitely in that elite group of designers.”

“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.”
Dan Rak Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Evanston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 30, 2014
“I hired Danny to do some interior design in our new home. I didn't have a clear vision what I wanted done- but I knew that the space wasn't being utilized to its fullest. Danny was WONDERFUL! After meeting with him ONE time and discussing "sort of" what we wanted- he RAN with it and in a very timely manner provided us with several "options" for us to review . He was VERY professional, always easy to get in touch with (should we have any questions or wanted to dialog about our options)- and he stuck within our budget! He was very forthcoming with our invoices as things were purchased so there was no surprises! I couldn't be any happier with the end result! And I would recommend him to all my closest friends and family in a heartbeat!! GREAT WORK, awesome to work with and would 100% would use him again!! What a great experience!!”
Leah Phillips Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Evanston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2020
“We recently did a full-blown renovation of a two-story unit in a River North high rise. Leah really takes the time to understand your aesthetic and then seamlessly guides you through the process. We were completely overwhelmed with choosing bathroom finishes, kitchen finishes, flooring, lighting, wall colors, let alone furnishing our unit and Leah was there every step of the way. She is transparent, responsive, and extremely organized and makes what could be a stressful situation fun and easy. She worked very closely with our contractor and coordinated all logistics (delivery, vendors etc.) with our building. My favorite part of the process was seeing our vision come to life. We were out of town for a few weeks and Leah managed and orchestrated the entire delivery and set up of all furniture and styling of our home. After a long trip we came home to a furnished and perfectly styled home. It was such a treat! Leah truly is one of a kind and we can't recommend her enough.”

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 Evanston, 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 Evanston, 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 Evanston, 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 Evanston 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 Evanston 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?
