Interior Design in Evanston

Full-scope projects in Evanston typically represent an investment starting around $250,000, which includes design, construction, and furnishing handled by one team. Consultations and smaller engagements scale below that figure. Evanston's historic homes often benefit from phased or focused work, and we are happy to shape an engagement around a single floor or a few key rooms. In an initial conversation we will give you an honest read on what your goals require.

A full renovation in Evanston generally takes several months to a year depending on scope, and older homes can sit toward the longer end when structural or systems work is involved. Our design-build approach helps, because one team carries the project from concept through construction and furnishing, so discoveries inside old walls are resolved by the same people who designed the rooms. We set expectations clearly at the start and keep you informed throughout.

Yes, preserving character while reimagining how a home lives is exactly what draws us to Evanston. The city's historic housing stock, from lakefront homes to arts-and-crafts gems, is full of original detail worth keeping, and we treat that character as the starting point rather than an obstacle. We restore and echo what is good, then rework layouts, systems, and finishes for the way people live now, so old and new read as one home.
