As such, we want to take a moment and say THANK YOU to you: our clients, our friends, our family, our support system. Many times those are one in the same.

Without you our business would not be what it is today. So, thank you.

From all of us at Inspired Interiors, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!

• seems to have everything,
• always returns your gifts for something “more to their liking,”
• has an ambiguous (or outdated) personal style,
• or, wants to update their home but doesn’t know how..

Then, a gift certificate for an in-home design consultation is the PERFECT gift!

The Inspired Interiors consultant comes to your gift recipient’s home and puts a game plan together, including:

• Recommendations on colors for walls, drapery, upholstery, carpeting.
• A floor plan of how to best utilize a room’s space–no more wasted corners.
• Lists of what furniture and accessories to buy and where to buy them.
• How to incorporate two people’s unique styles into one cohesive look.
• A realistic budget for what it takes to achieve their vision.

Consultations start at $50 for junior designers and $125 for senior designers.

How Does Your $100 Equal $25 Million?

Did you know: studies show that if each household in Chicago shifts $100 of planned holiday spending from chain stores to locally owned merchants it would prevent $25 MILLION from escaping our local Chicago economy.

Three Ways to Shop Local at Inspired Interiors:

1. Shop our store – we offer free personal shopping advice so you can find something for everyone on your gift list, and we offer free gift wrapping too.
2. Gift a 60 minute consultation – for the person who has everything, but hasn’t pulled the trigger on that design project. Interior design consultations are $50 for junior designers and $125 for senior designers.
3. Buy a gift certificate – and sleep easy knowing your finicky gift recipient won’t be returning your present this year!

How cool is that!

We diagnosed this Ravenswood Manor couple as traditional with a vintage flair. Our prescription: vintage brass finishes layered on dark hued woods and oodles of antique fabulousness.

In the bathroom we embraced vintage touches like a cluster of multi-sized antique frames and one large golden frame converted into a shadowbox with four open storage areas (stocked full of goodies from our shop). Stunning!

Custom made soft roman window treatments and vintage pieces turned the bedroom into an oasis of depth and textures. New bedding, throws and pillows dressed up the bed sassier than a teenage starlet at the Oscars.

Inspired Interiors custom designed the two-tiered island with a cooking zone and an eating zone. Yes, the table is permanently attached to the island–and to the floor. This space saving innovation delivered on two, often conflicting, homeowner requests: free up floor space and increase storage.

The one big splurge, handmade tiles from a craftswoman in California, added a subtle oomph to the kitchen backsplash with their MC Escher-esque repetitive onion pattern. Keeping the appliances and sink in the same locations kept costs down to allow for the exquisite tiles.  

Let us restore harmony to your kitchen.

The lifeless vanity wall was replaced with coffee bean stained cabinetry and striking stained glass mosaic tiles. The tile and mirror assembly created a visual separation on his/her sink areas. Vertical orientation of tiles now draw attention to the spacious ceiling height of the room, while splashes of spa-like hues create an overall relaxing palette of colors.

In the new design, we introduced texture to the tub area with a soapstone pebble mosaic on the floor. The dated bathtub was exchanged for a stunning (and reasonably priced) vessel tub. Money was saved, and budget was met, by using existing plumbing locations, thus allowing the client to allocate funds to upgraded finishes like quartz countertops, frameless glass shower enclosure, natural stone flooring, etc…
