Full-Home Design in South 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 South Barrington
Many homes in South Barrington are 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials and custom builds in subdivisions like The Oaks and Woods of South Barrington. These often feature original oak trim and cabinetry, which homeowners frequently update through Color Consultation or Kitchen Design projects. Newer construction, particularly in developments such as The Preserve and Wynstone, may have open-concept layouts where Furnishing & Styling helps define distinct living zones. We also see 2000s and 2010s luxury estates in areas like Biltmore Estates, where Full-Home Design projects address spacious primary bathrooms and expansive living areas.
What homeowners in South Barrington ask for
Homeowners in South Barrington frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1980s and 1990s kitchens, often with closed-off layouts or outdated finishes. Bathroom Design projects commonly address primary bathrooms from the same era, which may have separate small shower and tub areas. We also undertake Living Space projects to refresh larger, open-plan living areas in 2000s and 2010s homes, and Mudroom designs to improve entry organization.
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.
