Bathroom Design in Chicago
Our Bath Design service creates detailed plans for new or renovated bathrooms. We design the layout, select all materials, and document the construction details for your contractor.
What we do
Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, including floor plans and elevations. Construction documents detail the plumbing locations and electrical needs. Material selections cover everything from tile and fixtures to lighting and paint colors. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is built as intended, and we assist with finishing touches like accessories.
Who it suits
This service is for homeowners in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits renovations of existing bathrooms in historic homes or new construction primary bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and powder rooms.

Homes in Chicago
Chicago's housing stock includes many 1920s brick bungalows in neighborhoods like Portage Park, often featuring galley kitchens closed off from dining rooms. We often address these layouts with Kitchen Design services. In Lincoln Park, 19th-century greystones frequently have primary baths split into two small rooms, which we combine and reconfigure with Bath Design. Many 1980s townhomes in areas like Lakeview have unpainted oak trim and cabinetry, prompting requests for updated Furnishing & Styling or Color Consultation to modernize these spaces. We also work with 1950s ranch homes in Beverly, where low basement ceilings are a common challenge during Full-Home Design projects.
What homeowners in Chicago ask for
Homeowners in Chicago often seek Kitchen Design to open up 1920s bungalow kitchens. Bath Design is frequently requested for combining small, split primary bathrooms in 19th-century greystones. Many projects involve Full-Home Design for 1950s ranch homes, addressing challenges like low basement ceilings. Furnishing & Styling updates are common for 1980s townhomes to refresh dated oak finishes.
Bathroom Design work from the studio
Led by Jennifer Peterson
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.
