Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & Decorators in River Forest, IL

Turn Key Designs
Interior Designers & Decorators in River Forest, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2022
“Turn Key was excellent to work with from start to finish! Was in need of a new closet design/build and the big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot didn’t offer nearly anything close to what Turn Key provided me. Both Courtney and Andrew were great from start to finish. They kept me in the loop during every step, whether it was with an email or a personal phone call. They both make you feel like family, and that trust goes a long way in business. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out! Turn Key knows it’s stuff and they know it well!”

“I have worked with Laura since we bought our house 8 years ago. She has done an amazing job at helping us decorate to our tastes -- but at least 10x better than we could have done on our own. She's helped us understand the space, what furniture will fit in it, the colors that will work best, etc. I think she's actually saved us money because every choice is well thought out -- we do not have to later discard items that do not fit or that do not coordinate well. Laura is very efficient and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Michelle Glennon Interior Design, Inc
Interior Designers & Decorators in River Forest, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 October 2014
“Michelle was fantastic from the very beginning all the way through the final touches. I recently bought my first condo and had no idea where to start and I had no time to figure it out. After a short initial meeting where Michelle got to know me and my tastes, she took everything and ran with it. I loved every idea she had, every piece she picked out and when it was all said and done, I couldn't be happier. Everyone that comes over now immediately comments on the design of the place and I couldn't be more proud. I owe it all to Michelle!”

“I can't speak highly enough about Phillip Harrison's services! Mark helped us with a home redesign that was more than we could have ever imagined!!

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2019
“I’m so glad I found Ava James Design. Kristie is professional & passionate, and so much fun to work with. Design is difficult for me, and Kristie made it easy. She listened to what I needed & added her own ideas, which I never would have thought of. I will definitely be contacting Kristie & Ava James Design for all of my design needs.”
Esslinger Design Company

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“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.”

“Highly recommend. We have used Julie's color design consulting regularly over the past several years. In each case she has successfully assisted in determining the right color scheme based on multiple variables. Julie's expertise covers allrange of situationss from just moving in to updating the overall look to preparing a home for sale. Each for these requires someone who understands the goal and can convert that knowledge into the perfect rselections leading to the desired esult. Julie is outstanding at each aspect in the process.”

“Jacquie is an exceptional designer with a fantastic eye!! She is able to help with a small design project (such as giving a room a "facelift") or she can manage a large construction project from start to finish. Jacquie is great at understanding a person or company's own style, rather than imposing her own style upon them. I have worked with Jacquie on multiple corporate projects as well as personal projects, and have referred her to multiple friends and relatives. I can't say enough great things about Jacquie's work, plus she's a great lady to boot!! Highly recommended!!”
Darl Grooters Ltd
Interior Designers & Decorators in River Forest, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 July 2015
“We worked with Darl on a project in Naperville in 2014. His designs turned what was already a luxury home into a show stopper. His ability to create spaces with a warm and inviting feel really sets him apart from other designers whose work we have seen upon work completion. His sense of style and ability to integrate the best colors and fabrics also stood out in the home. We highly recommend him to other professionals in the Houzz network!
