Full-Home Design in Western Springs
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.

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.

In Western Springs
Homes in Western Springs
In Western Springs, we often work with 1920s brick bungalows in neighborhoods like Forest Hills, where original galley kitchens are often closed off from dining rooms. We also see many 1950s and 1960s ranches in Springdale, where primary bathrooms are frequently split into two small, separate rooms. Our Kitchen Design service often reconfigures these older layouts to create more open spaces. We also provide Bathroom Design to update these smaller, divided primary baths. Homes near the Stonegate subdivision, built in the 1980s and 1990s, often feature unpainted oak trim and cabinetry that we address through our Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation services.
What homeowners in Western Springs ask for
Homeowners in Western Springs often engage us for Kitchen Design to update 1920s and 1930s kitchens, which typically have small footprints and limited counter space. We also frequently provide Bathroom Design for 1950s and 1960s homes, where primary bathrooms often need to be reconfigured for better flow. Full-Home Design projects are common for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that seek a more cohesive aesthetic throughout the entire house, including Living Space updates and Furnishing & Styling.
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.
