Full-Home Design in Barrington
Full-Home Design provides comprehensive interior design for your entire residence. We design all interior spaces, from initial concept through finishing touches, creating a cohesive home.
What we do
Our process begins with a Design consultation to understand your home's scope. We then present your design, including drawings and material concepts. Construction documents detail the design for your contractor, and Material selections specify all finishes and fixtures. We conduct Jobsite inspections as construction progresses, and add Finishing touches to complete your home.
Who it suits
This service suits newly built homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, or Atlanta. It is also for homeowners undertaking major renovations of existing houses, such as a historic bungalow in Atlanta or a lake house in Southwest Michigan.
Questions
What is included in Full-Home Design?
Full-Home Design includes a Design consultation, Presentation of your design, Construction documents, Material selections, Jobsite inspections, and Finishing touches for your entire home.
How does Full-Home Design differ from your other services?
Full-Home Design covers all interior spaces of your home, unlike Kitchen Design, Bath Design, or Living Space, which focus on individual rooms. It includes documentation for construction, which Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation do not.
What do I receive at the end of the design process?
You receive a complete set of Construction documents, including drawings and specifications, along with detailed Material selections for all finishes and fixtures in your home. We also oversee the Jobsite inspections and Finishing touches.
How long does a Full-Home Design project typically take?
The duration of a Full-Home Design project varies based on the size and complexity of your home. We will discuss a timeline during your initial Design consultation.
How do you work with my contractor for Full-Home Design?
We provide your contractor with Construction documents, which detail the design for their build. We conduct Jobsite inspections to ensure the design is implemented correctly during construction.

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.
Full-Home Design work from the studio
Led by Jennifer Peterson from the Chicago studio
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.
