"We would recommend Wendy in a heartbeat to anyone looking for interior design or decorating expertise. We started with one small bathroom layout project, and eventually used Wendy for almost every decision in our new house, from art and furniture selection, to cabinet layouts, to window design, to paint colors, to outlet and lighting placement, to crown molding design and so much more. She is creative, efficient, responsive, and very easy to work with. She is connected with so many different vendors and suppliers, and pays close attention to all details. Her pricing is very reasonable, and the value she delivers is priceless."

"JK Company did a fantastic job on our new brick paver patio. I talked to several other companies and I had the most confidence in Tino of JK. He was the only one that made design suggestions that made sense and we're so glad we went with them because everything turned out great. He's very reliable and prompt at getting back. He stayed on schedule and didn't let us down plus they had all of their insurance documents in order including Workmans Comp and Liability insurance. I'd highly recommend JK."

"I have used Ecoscape for over a year now. They are responsive and do high quality work. Their team is professional, precise and cleans up the work when finished. I have worked with Ecoscape for landscaping design and was very pleased with their ideas, the quality of the plants, and overall work. They also re-sodded my yard and provide general landscaping maintenance. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"Roman is extremely talented and conscientious. He is very thoughtful and the quality of work is exceptional. He does not take any shortcuts and neither does he suggest one. He is a bit slow and might not be suitable for someone who is in a rush. We paid a flat rate and might have been a bit pricey, but we believe we got great value for our money."

"After buying a condo that was quite outdated, I became overwhelmed with design ideas and lost as to what needed to be upgraded. I also had challenges with the layout of the living room and guest room. After reaching out to a few interior designers, I decided to work with JW Creative as Jake, the designer in charge of my project, was very professional and understood what I envisioned for my home. The results were better than I had imagined, especially for the living room and guest rooms. Jake was able to make elements of my home work with the design that I had previously thought had to be replaced, which saved me thousands in unnecessary improvement. I was extremely satisfied with the quality and price of the items. I would not have been able to find such items at that price on my own. Their work definitely deserves five stars!"

"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

"We had 40 yr old wallpaper to be removed & lots of cracks in the plaster. Another contractor told me he would not even take the job. Yoel & his crew are so experienced they did a beautiful job. My plaster walls now look like new. Victor can handle any challenge. They thoroughly cleaned up. Will be using them again for future projects. So glad Angi recommended them"

"Juan and his team were Amazing! Juan returned my calls and texts quickly and answered all of my questions. His landscape design, construction of the retaining walls and suggestions turned out better than my husband and I could have ever imagined. Juan and his team were professional, talented, courteous, and extremely hard working. When we are ready to tackle our back yard, we will definitely be using Juan and his team."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Winnetka, IL

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
