    “The professional service I received from the staff at Warren Barnett was 5 star from start to finish. They guided me through designing and furnishing my entire dining room. They also helped me polish a look I was trying to go for in a few of my other rooms. I can't wait for my next dinner party to show it all off to my friends.”

    “Chad was great to work with! After 8 years with a large empty stairwell wall I was so excited to work with Chad to design a picture wall. He really listened to what I was looking for and made it a reality. I truly LOVE my picture wall and so many people love it when they walk in my house. I used to see this type of wall in magazines only and love that one is in my house telling my families story.”

    “Lauren is a wonderful designer. She designs rooms that are timeless and classic but up to date and fresh. I like to say that we have the same taste - but hers is better. She understands what I like but makes it much more fabulous. I have worked with her on 3 different homes, from a summer cottage to a huge city factory conversion, choosing fixtures and finishes, fabrics and furniture from the start to finish. She helping me on my fourth project now. She is very professional and wonderful to work with in every way.”

    Expressive Interiors by Marietta Calas
    Interior Designers & House Decorators in Lake Forest
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2013
    “I have been working with Marietta for several years. I got connected with her through my niece who also has worked with her. She has helped me redecorate my family room, my bedroom and my bathroom. I don't have an extremely large budget and am terribly indecisive. Somehow Marietta seems to be able to work through all of that and come up with some fantastic ideas. One of the most important factors in dealing with Marietta is that I trust her implicitly. Her taste is impeccable, her vision extraordinary and her patience unending. I currently have another project on the horizon and will be using Marietta for that as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. A decision that we live with forever!!!!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2012
    “I had an excellent experience with LMR Designs. I trusted Linda completely with her design and color recommendations and everything came out better than I could have imagined. I was so pleased with the first project that Linda did for me that she subsequently picked out paint colors for every room in my house and re-designed my living room. I highly recommend Linda. She's professional in every sense of the word.”

    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 Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest 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?
