Stephanie Deckro Interiors

A project which involves drastic changes in our lives was undertaken by Stephanie with compassion, and summoned both her professional expertise and an awareness of our tastes and needs. Our collaboration was encouraged for all decisions, and complete respect was accorded all of our opinions and choices. All of this was done efficiently, without distraction and with full attention to the clients.

We recently updated our 1990’s kitchen and bath. Stephanie was incredibly helpful to us in this process. She listened carefully to our objectives and offered fresh, creative design ideas. She worked exceptionally well with other contractors and helped us to stay on budget. The final product was a kitchen and bathroom that achieved the cottage feel we were looking for, on time and on budget. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie!

Fall of 2021 I purchased a townhome. I knew I wanted help to make it be my style, but to also be comfortable for aging. I had seen on Houzz that Stephanie had worked with seniors. I contacted her, we met, and immediately knew we could work well together! Stephanie has a wonderful working relationship with a local contractor and tradesmen. I was pleased she used people in my community. She addressed any concern I had immediately, always with perfect results. She sourced everything I wanted, oversaw construction/installation to a perfect completion! EVERYONE who comes to my new home comments how beautiful it is, from paint colors to lighting, to how perfect my furniture looks in a new setting! I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants help in creating a lovely home, a place to be proud of, that reflects who you are! Barbara J. Rauman

Stephanie is an outstanding professional. She is knowledgeable, personable and she has an excellent taste. I was moving from my house after 50 years to a duplex in a retirement community. She was recommended to me by a couple of friends as an interior designer. I could not have asked for better. She measured the space in the new place as well as the furniture in my house. I was presented with 3 alternatives and we merged them into one. I was able to bring all my furniture pieces without crowding the new space. She also helped me with selecting window treatments for all the windows and backsplash for the kitchen. She was willing to monitor installation of both. She is also an excellent advocate for her clients' needs. After my moving into the new place, she volunteered to help me with hanging up some of the art on the walls. Stephanie is easy and pleasant to work with; I enjoyed our cooperation very much. Jitka Hurych 517 Roberts Ln DeKalb, Illinois 60115

Stephanie is excellent at design AND running her business. We loved the designs she created for our extensive interior remodeling project. She created multiple layouts based on our style and preferences while also pushing us to consider new and different ideas. And we appreciated her consistent professionalism...being organized, responsive to our calls/emails, on time for appointments and efficient in her work.

Stephanie Deckro helped us transform our home to make it accessible and comfortable as well as attractive, the design timeless. Fifteen years later, we are collaborating on creating an inviting workout area within a large guest room. She is once again anticipating our needs and helping us fulfill our dreams.

We have worked with Stephanie multiple times over the past few years. Each interaction has been extremely helpful whether it was her helping us to design a room’s layout, revamping an existing space or taking on the full responsibility of shopping for rugs, artwork or other decor. We appreciate how she learned our style, yet has also helped us to expand our tastes. We would highly recommend Stephanie !

I have worked with Stephanie on projects around our house for close to 20 years now. She is an excellent interior designer. One of the things I most appreciate about Stephanie is she is a true professional. She shows up on time for appointments and always replies to emails and phone calls quickly. She interacts intelligently and respectfully to the other workers on the project. Our latest remodel was due to water damage and Stephanie helped us navigate all of the various people involved (mitigators, electricians, plumbers, contractor, etc.). It was stressful at times and she was able to be a calm and reassuring presence. Stephanie has an eye for what looks good and was able to give her thoughts and advice and at the same time let me make the final decision based on what I liked and felt was best. She is practical and knows what places it is important to put more money into and what places it is not, as it relates to our families needs as well as potential for resale, etc. Stephanie is very organized and keeps great records, so if I forget something, ie. paint color, measurement, etc. she is able to find that quickly and easily. I would recommend Stephanie wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for help with any sort of project around their home.

My husband & I have used Stephanie on several projects; offices, flip houses, & our own home. We have always been amazed at how she can design a layout, she always seems to be able to see what needs changed to make the design work, always comes up with something we would never think of on our own. She is fabulous I have referred her to family & friends. If you want something fresh, beautiful and functional, Stephanie is the designer for you!!

I had never used an Interior Designer in the past, and now I will use Stephanie any time I have a new project. I had multiple rooms in my house that I wanted to change and really did not have a clue where to start. Stephanie came to my house and immediately started giving me ideas and suggestions. She was always quick with responses when I had questions. It was a very pleasant experience working with Stephanie!

Stephanie has helped us with the design of several homes for us, over the years. She recently advised us during a major remodel (actually a rebuild) of our current home. Stephanie was such a huge help with making decisions on building design, choosing paint colors, flooring (saved me from making a big mistake on floors!), fixtures, countertops, furnishings...everything actually. Our home is beautiful, and I am so happy with all the choices. She helped with the kitchen layout/design, which saved me from mistakes the kitchen designer had originally planned. We trust Stephanie with all phases, and highly recommend her. Her help turns a stressful situation into a fun project, with great results!

The expectation when hiring an interior designer is that the person can provide professional advice while taking into account the customer’s personal taste, existing home furnishings, latest “trends”, budget, and schedule to name a few. Sometimes those expectations are not only met but can only be described as exceptional. That was the case working with Stephanie. She entered the task with what I would describe as an open book and then quietly though purposefully, listened, suggested, listened some more and then recommended how to put the final product into action. She worked closely with the construction crew, participated in meetings with the suppliers, and made sure throughout the entire process that everyone was on the same page. Stephanie is a credit not only to herself but the entire profession. I will definitely use her services again if the need arises and highly recommend her to anyone needing help with interior design.
