Questions
What is included in Furnishing & Styling?
This service includes a design consultation, presentation of your design, construction documents for furnishing, material selections, jobsite inspections, and finishing touches for your home.
What do I receive at the end of the Furnishing & Styling process?
You receive detailed construction documents for furnishing, specifications for all material selections, and a fully furnished and styled room or home.
How does Furnishing & Styling differ from your other services?
Furnishing & Styling focuses on furniture, lighting, and decor, without the structural changes of Kitchen Design, Bath Design, or Full-Home Design. It provides more comprehensive selections than Color Consultation and focuses on specific rooms rather than general Living Space design.
How long does a Furnishing & Styling project take?
The timeline for Furnishing & Styling projects varies based on the scope and the availability of selected items. We will discuss a projected timeline during your initial design consultation.
Can I use my own contractor for installation?
Yes, our construction documents and material selections are provided for your contractor to implement. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned.

Homes in Inverness
Inverness features many 1970s and 1980s custom homes in subdivisions like Inverness on the Ponds and The Woods of Inverness. These homes often present opportunities to update original primary bathrooms, which might be split into two small rooms or feature outdated finishes. We provide Bathroom Design services to address these layouts. Newer construction, such as the 2000s and 2010s homes in Inverness Point and Plum Grove Woodlands, often have open-concept living spaces, but homeowners might seek Color Consultation to refresh wall colors or Furnishing & Styling to personalize large rooms. Many 1990s two-story colonials in areas like Muirfield Village have kitchens that can benefit from a Kitchen Design update, perhaps to improve flow or incorporate modern appliances.
What homeowners in Inverness ask for
Homeowners in Inverness frequently seek Kitchen Design for their 1980s and 1990s homes, often to modernize layouts that feel closed off from living areas. Bathroom Design is also popular, especially for primary bathrooms in 1970s and 1980s custom homes that may have original finishes or inefficient layouts. Full-Home Design projects are common for residents looking to update multiple spaces in their 2000s homes, bringing a cohesive aesthetic throughout. Furnishing & Styling helps homeowners in newer subdivisions personalize their open-concept spaces.

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.
