Full-Home Design in Shoreham

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.

In Shoreham

Homes in Shoreham

Shoreham features a mix of homes, including 1950s ranch homes in areas like the Shoreham Village subdivision, where Kitchen Design can update smaller, original layouts. We also see 1970s and 1980s two-story homes in subdivisions off Lakeshore Drive, often with primary bathrooms split into two small rooms, which benefit from Bathroom Design. Many homes, particularly those built in the 1960s near Grand Mere State Park, feature original wood paneling or closed-off living spaces. Furnishing & Styling can help integrate or update these elements, while Living Space design can reconfigure layouts for modern living.

What homeowners in Shoreham ask for

Homeowners in Shoreham frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1950s and 1960s galley kitchens, often aiming to open them to adjacent dining areas. Bathroom Design is also common for 1970s and 1980s homes, addressing layouts with separate toilet and shower rooms or outdated finishes. We often help with Full-Home Design for homes built in the 1990s, where clients want to update multiple spaces simultaneously. Basement Remodel projects are also popular for adding functional living areas to older homes.

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.
