Drury Design
Lighting Companies & Designers in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 18, 2012
“I have worked with Tina Muller in Drury Design to remodel 4 spaces: kitchen, powder room, hall bath and master bath. I have to say, Tina is exceptional to work with. She is also very personable, understanding and patient with clients. Our old space was old and gloomy. We had been in the house for 7-8 years. With so many inspirations we found at Houzz.com and all the magazines, we could not decide exactly what our style is: traditional, modern, contemporary, ... as we like a little bit of everything, but most of all simple, functional, beautiful. Naturally, the design requirements we had given out to Tina for our relevant small-space kitchen and bath were functional, spacious and elegantly zen. On top of that, I had also requested lots of storage in all the spaces so we can keep things away yet accessible easily. I am very impressed with Tina and her work. She was able to sort through and filter our input to pinpoint what our style is in 2 appointments (the free consultation appointment and the subsequent appointment). In the subsequent appointments, we were able to tweak the design to meet all our needs. As we went through the entire process, Tina always made herself available to us with additional design needs, shopping, and picking out the right wall colors. Additionally, the Drury Design is a full-service design firm that I also utilized for project management, installation services. They work with high quality partners and suppliers for my appliances, granite, tiles, lighting needs... Here is a little secret: They really do stand by their projects, products, and services. You get what you pay for and you do pay for quality work and product but they don't nickel and dime you per hour. Thinking back, it was an ambitious project. We are very thankful to work with such a professional team. Tina and the Drury Design team has transformed our 25-year-old house into a beautiful, relaxing, inviting space. We are very happy with the work, the team and the services.”

“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.”
Matrix Basement Finishing
Lighting Companies & Designers in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 7, 2013
“I had about a third of my basement, about 550 sq. ft., completed using the Matrix Basement System. This r-18 rated, water proof, mold proof, mildew proof system (4' by 8' panels) was perfect for protecting my investment. They also did my drop ceiling, all electrical, hvac work and installed the three doors we added. The total process took about 4 weeks. The work crew was very professional. They worked with me in coordinating the parts of this project that I had other contractors complete and made the whole experience very enjoyable. My completed basement blends in with the rest of my house. The insulated panels keeps the humidity down and the temperatures at the same level as my upstairs level. I love it.”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Chicago, IL home's layout, structure and needs to create an effective lighting plan throughout your home. Though electrical engineers or interior designers can take on the task of outfitting your home with the appropriate lighting services, a professional Chicago lighting designer explores lighting as a technique.

What is a lighting plan designer?


Lighting designers often have a knowledge of physics, optics, ergonomics and environmental issues along with an eye for construction and design, allowing them to devise lighting plans that not only improve visibility but create hierarchies, dynamics and a mood within a space. Often working in conjunction with an architect or interior designer, lighting companies will work to incorporate reflective surfaces and integrate daylight. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of lighting showrooms & sales: Interior Designers & Decorators, Design-Build Firms, Electricians.

Think about how you plan to use each area of your Chicago, IL home. It's important to communicate to your Illinois lighting designer which space will be used as an office and which will be a media room, for example, as these will require very different lighting services. In addition, consider how you'd prefer to control the lights. Lighting technology today includes dimmers, sensors, photocells (that let lights react to the amount of daylight in a space), programmable scene controls (that let you program different settings for varied lighting) and whole-house lighting controls (that let you control all or a portion of your home's lights from one source), allowing you to tailor your lighting controls however you wish.

Be wary of electricians or sales reps posing as lighting designers. Identify professional lighting companies by finding out whether they're involved in lighting programs or associations such as the International Association of Lighting Designers, and confirming that they have LC (Lighting Certification) or CLC (Certified Lighting Consultant) credentials.

Questions to ask a prospective lighting designer:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • Are you a participant of any professional programs or associations?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can the job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about when there are changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
