Kitchen & Bathroom Design in Wilmette
Our Kitchen & Bathroom Design service focuses on the most used spaces in your home. We design new kitchens and bathrooms or redesign existing ones, creating detailed plans for your contractor to build.
What we do
Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your project. We then present your design, including drawings and specifications for your new kitchen or bathroom. Construction documents provide detailed plans for your contractor, and material selections specify all finishes and fixtures. We conduct jobsite inspections during construction and add finishing touches at the project's completion.
Who it suits
This service is for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits projects like a kitchen remodel in a Chicago bungalow or a new primary bathroom in an Atlanta craftsman home. We also design new kitchens and bathrooms for homes in Southwest Michigan.

Homes in Wilmette
Wilmette homes include 1920s brick Tudors and Colonials in areas like Indian Hill Estates, often featuring smaller, closed-off kitchens that homeowners want to open up. Many 1950s and 1960s ranches and split-levels in neighborhoods such as Mallard Ridge present opportunities for Full-Home Design, particularly with their original bathrooms that often have outdated layouts. We often work on these homes, addressing common issues like low basement ceilings in 1970s builds near Lake Michigan with Basement Remodel services. Homeowners also frequently seek Kitchen Design for these older homes, updating their original cabinetry and finishes.
What homeowners in Wilmette ask for
Homeowners in Wilmette frequently update 1920s and 1930s kitchens, which often involve reconfiguring galley layouts to create more open Living Space. Many 1950s and 1960s homes require Bathroom Design to modernize fixtures and expand smaller primary baths. We also see requests for Basement Remodel projects in homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, aiming to improve functionality and light. Furnishing & Styling is a common request for refreshed living areas across various home eras.

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.
