Kitchen & Bathroom Design in Chicago
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.

In Chicago
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.

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.
