Our Bath Design service creates detailed plans for new or renovated bathrooms. We design the layout, select all materials, and document the construction details for your contractor.

What we do

Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, including floor plans and elevations. Construction documents detail the plumbing locations and electrical needs. Material selections cover everything from tile and fixtures to lighting and paint colors. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is built as intended, and we assist with finishing touches like accessories.

Who it suits

This service is for homeowners in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits renovations of existing bathrooms in historic homes or new construction primary bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and powder rooms.

Homes in Barrington

Barrington homes include 1960s ranch houses in neighborhoods like Wynstone, often with closed-off kitchens that benefit from Kitchen Design. Subdivisions such as The Oaks feature 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials, where primary bathrooms often have split layouts that we address with Bathroom Design. Homes near the Barrington Hills Country Club include 1920s and 1930s estates, which sometimes have smaller, separate living spaces that we integrate with Full-Home Design. We also see 1970s and 1980s homes in areas like Lake Zurich Road with unpainted oak trim that we update through Color Consultation.

What homeowners in Barrington ask for

Homeowners in Barrington often seek Kitchen Design for their 1960s and 1970s ranch homes to create open-concept layouts. We frequently undertake Bathroom Design for 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials to update dated finishes and improve functionality. Basement Remodel projects are common in homes across Barrington, addressing low ceilings and creating more usable living areas. Full-Home Design is a recurring need for older estates looking to modernize while preserving their character.

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
