Interior Design in Lake Forest

In Lake Forest, our full-scope projects typically represent an investment starting around $250,000, and estate-scale work naturally sits above entry level given the square footage involved. Consultations and smaller engagements scale below that starting figure. We are direct about numbers early because a clear budget is what keeps a large project calm. In a first conversation we will walk you through what different levels of engagement look like and where your goals honestly land.

We manage Lake Forest estate renovations with a design-build structure, meaning one team carries the project from concept through construction and furnishing. At estate scale, coordination is everything, so design decisions, construction sequencing, and furnishing lead times are planned together rather than in silos. Founder Emily Mackie and our team have refined this approach over 21+ years, and it is what keeps a large, complex renovation calm, coordinated, and on schedule.

Yes, Lake Forest's estate homes and equestrian properties are a natural fit for how we work. Interiors at this scale need to be conceived as a whole, with rooms that relate to one another and to the grounds, and with project management to match the ambition. Our design-build team plans the design, the construction, and the furnishing as one coordinated effort, so even a sprawling property arrives finished, cohesive, and ready to live in.

Yes, new construction is one of our core services in Lake Forest. Joining the project early lets us shape the interior architecture, millwork, lighting, and finishes while the plans are still fluid, which saves rework and produces a far more cohesive home. From there our design-build team carries the interiors through construction and final styling. With a portfolio of more than 40 completed and in-progress projects, we know how to keep a new build coordinated.
