Queen Bee Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 13, 2014
“I have worked with Laura since we bought our house 8 years ago. She has done an amazing job at helping us decorate to our tastes -- but at least 10x better than we could have done on our own. She's helped us understand the space, what furniture will fit in it, the colors that will work best, etc. I think she's actually saved us money because every choice is well thought out -- we do not have to later discard items that do not fit or that do not coordinate well. Laura is very efficient and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Cynthia was so great to work with! We helped us plan our home remodel and walked us through all of the steps in the process since this was our first time doing such a major remodel. She is so knowledgeable about what can and cannot be done. She also provided alternative choices when we were trying to stay under budget. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great interior designer at a reasonable price. We will definitely be contacting her in the future when we finish off our basement.”

I so appreciate that Leah is happy to provide both high end and less expensive choices. She happily mixes what I already own with the items purchased through her.

The work of a professional can make all the difference. Whether your home has 10 bedrooms, or your apartment is 800 square feet, it can be tricky to create a cohesive look that is representative of your style. That's where a local Chicago interior designer comes in. A home interior decorator will help distill your tastes and ideas into a design that suits the needs of your space.

What does an interior designer do?


A good home design professional will hone your style down to its very essence and be able to choose a functional layout that feels natural to you. Interior design companies can be involved as much or as little as the client desires. Many clients who hire a house interior decorator in Chicago, IL — particularly those who are remodeling — have a good sense of how the room should look and what products they should use. Often clients will insist that interior design contractors use the products already present in the house. Other times a designer will need to start from scratch — especially if this is a newly purchased or just-built home. An interior design firm will need to figure out exactly what the client needs, which includes organizing rooms, picking flooring and wall colors, and finding furniture to complement it all. Sometimes that means he or she will have to recruit help from other Chicago, IL home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.

Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator in Chicago, IL. Ask yourself what you want your space to become and what it will be used for. Figure out the extent of what you need help with, what your must-haves are and what your budget is. Interior design services can add up fast, so be up front with a potential design firm or individual from the beginning. Also, pick an interior decorator that fits your style. Browse through the portfolios of different Chicago interior design firms and decide if you would live in those houses. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you could live in it. There's a big difference!

Questions to ask when you meet with local Chicago interior designers:


  • Can you give me a referral? (It makes a big difference to talk with a client who's worked with the designer before.)
  • Can I see your design portfolio?
  • When will the home renovation be done?
  • Do you charge an hourly rate or a flat rate, or use the cost-plus method or a mixed method?
