Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in Schaumburg, IL

"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."

"Jane was great to work with. We were doing a major remodeling of our first floor, as well as updating furniture and appliances, powder room, and updating our den, and needed both architectural design and interior design. Jane was supportive and patient in walking us through from our general ideas to specifics, and we are very happy with the results. Would highly recommend working with her and have recommended her to friends."

"Fantastic. Second time I have hired Dawn and she is really amazing. She is really focused on her clients and what is best for them and not trying to maximize her profit. I feel like I not only get wonderful decorating results but at a great value."

"We are trying to get our house ready to sell and really needed advice on kitchen upgrades, interior painting, window treatments...all those things that make new buyers go all in. However, I am not creative at all, so this was becoming a challenge. I found a lot of great reviews about Nancy on Angie’s List, so we called her; she responded within 24 hours and she fit us in her schedule within 72 hours. She is extremely flexible with scheduling and fit us in on a Friday night, arriving right on time (even in horrible weather). Within minutes of walking through our front door, we loved her. She is extremely nice and very genuine; and very respectful of what you currently have and your current tastes (some realtors might make you feel terrible about your house, but she is just the opposite). She walked through the front door with the eyes of a potential buyer and we went through every room as a buyer would. She gave us excellent suggestions on paint colors, countertops (even left some granite samples with us), window treatments, lights, accessories, and more. There were several areas that I'd planned on spending money to change and she advised me not to, that I wouldn't get my money back. She also gave many suggestions for when we do actually stage the house and how to make it more appealing. She gave us several links for affordable window treatments & lighting, gave us names of people to call for various work we plan on having done. It was an absolutely wonderful experience; I wish I'd know about her 12 years ago when we first bought the house. I will definitely be calling her when we buy a new house. Her fee is exceptionally reasonable; she saved me from spending more than her fee on unnecessary upgrades/improvements! I dreaded getting our house ready, but after working with Nancy, I'm excited about how it's going to turn out and the fact that I'm not going to be spending as much as I thought I'd need to. It was time & money well spent!!!"

"I have hired both Habitar Design and Stratagem Construction for several projects over the past six years (they are sister companies – Habitar is the design arm and Stratagem Construction implements renovation projects, etc.). My experience has been uniformly excellent. Both Habitar and Stratagem have professional workers committed to customer satisfaction. The companies stand behind their work and remedy any issues promptly. Most recently, in August 2018 I worked with an excellent Habitar designer I’ve worked with before – Hannah – to replace defective mirrors in both bathrooms of the South Loop condo to which my wife and I recently moved. The project was completed promptly and the mirrors were installed competently and looked great. I also worked with Hannah in choosing new shades for the condo windows. In the past, I also hired Habitar and Stratagem for various other projects, including installation of windows to enclose a three-quarter wall in a condo bedroom. In addition, Hannah has worked with us to help design a number of living spaces, including guiding us in selection of furniture, and ensuring that we maximize use of space effectively. I strongly recommend both Habitar and Stratagem for both design and construction/renovation projects."

"From the beginning, our experience with the Kitchen Studio was outstanding. Susan was easy, creative and engaging during the design process and communicated well throughout the Project. The construction team was on-time and focused, diligent in their efforts, and also communicated well throughout the process. They cleaned up at the end of every day and were  respectful of our space despite the chaos. A big Project completed on time and on budget. Very happy.  <br />"

"Jeanne was a real pleasure to work with. Professional and fun. We had no idea what we wanted and she guided us to great decisions. Her recommended painter was hit it out of the park and the window treatment vendor was easy to work with, but we eventually decided against the treatments since we plan on selling the condo soon."

"We called Joanmarie  in a last minute effort to choose paint colors before our painters were due to arrive the following week.  Joanmarie made an appointment with us for the very next day.  She's spent 1-2 hours with my wife discussing colors and design ideas.  We were very grateful for her last minute assistance and energizing personality.  We put her color suggestions to use and are overall satisfied.   If we decide to use a design consultant in the future, we definitely would consider calling Joanmarie first! <br />"

"I knew I wanted Mary from In & Out Design to help with my new townhouse master bedroom when we had our first conversation on the phone. She helped me completely transform my bedroom into a comfortable, cozy space utilizing the burgundy colors that I love. We kept most of the original furniture. However, Mary came up with a different furniture layout which made the room feel completely different just by doing that. We even went shopping together at a few home stores to pick out accessories, lighting, wall hangings, pillows and window treatments. It was a fun day! Mary has such a vision for design and she helped me achieve the look I had in my head but didn't know how to explain it. I love my master bedroom!"

"I have never worked with other decorators, but Nick brings the shopping to me.  He has samples to show me or he sends links to pictures.    This has made the process so easy.  <br /> I really enjoy working with Nick.  He is offers great ideas but is flexible when my budget or personal taste requires.  He has great <br /> furniture contacts for reasonably priced, well built materials.  I got a great modular couch that can be reconfigured to meet the needs of the group in the room.  It was Nick's idea that it be modular because it served many functions but  it was also good for getting the pieces into the space. <br /> Nick is also willing to disagree.   I am paying him for his opinion, so that's what I want. <br /> In my experience with Nick decorating is not delivered in a one moment package.   One piece comes,  a little later some other pieces come. Then there is the final arranging and accessorizing and we are done.  It is a bit like completing a puzzle - typically not done in one sitting.  <br /> Nick is also respectful of budget.  It is very easy in decorating to get carried away or make changes that impact the budget.  Nick has always offered me options to stay on budget, and when we veer off it has been my decision. <br />"
