FAQ

Working with a designer in Gold Coast.


How much does an interior designer cost in the Gold Coast?

For Gold Coast homes, full-scope projects with Inspired Interiors typically start around $250,000, an investment that covers design, construction, and furnishings carried by one team from concept to completion. Design consultations and smaller engagements scale below that. Whether you are refining a high-rise residence, a vintage co-op, or a historic mansion, we will give you a candid sense of scope and budget before you commit to anything.

What is it like to work with a design-build firm on a Gold Coast renovation?

It means one team owns your Gold Coast project from the first concept through construction and final styling. At Inspired Interiors, founder Emily Mackie leads the design, and the same studio manages the build, so the vision you approve is the one that gets executed. Full renovations generally take several months to a year depending on scope, and you always know who is accountable, because it is us.

Can you design for a vintage Gold Coast co-op as well as a modern high-rise?

Yes, and the Gold Coast asks for exactly that range. Vintage co-ops reward respect for original proportions and detail, high-rises call for careful handling of scale, light, and views, and the neighborhood's historic mansions ask for something else entirely. Across all of them we pursue finishes that read as effortless, tailored to the architecture rather than imposed on it. Our portfolio includes more than 40 completed and in-progress projects across Chicago and the North Shore.

Do you handle renovations in Gold Coast high-rise buildings?

Yes, we design and renovate in Gold Coast high-rises as well as the neighborhood's mansions and vintage co-ops. As a design-build firm, we manage the construction side ourselves, including the logistics and coordination that building work in a high-rise involves, so you are not left brokering between a designer, a contractor, and your building. One team, one plan, from concept through construction and furnishing.
