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.
