Full-Home Design in Kildeer

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.

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.

In Kildeer

Homes in Kildeer

Many homes in Kildeer, such as the 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials found in subdivisions like Long Grove Lakes and Meadowood, often feature original oak trim and cabinetry. This frequently leads to requests for Kitchen Design or Full-Home Design to update these spaces. Homes built in the early 2000s in developments like Meadowood Estates might have primary bathrooms with separate, smaller shower and toilet rooms, prompting Bathroom Design projects to create more open layouts. We also see requests for Mudroom designs in homes near Kildeer Countryside Elementary School, where families need better organization for everyday entryways.

What homeowners in Kildeer ask for

Homeowners in Kildeer frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1990s kitchens with original finishes and layouts. Bathroom Design projects are common for 2000s primary bathrooms that feel dated or inefficient. We often address requests for Full-Home Design in two-story homes from the 1980s and 1990s, aiming to refresh multiple living areas. Mudroom projects are also popular in family homes to improve organization.

Full-Home Design work from the 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.
