Design Inside

Chicago interior designers Kathryn and Bill Cherne established Design Inside with the goal of making the luxury interior design and remodeling process approachable and fun. We know first-hand that designing, building, and decorating your home can be a daunting task. We help you narrow down the thousands of design ideas into one, final plan for you and your home. You love the look of a beautiful home but, it takes more than showing a Pinterest board to a handyman to transform your home into a space that you can be proud of.

We are a creative group of Interior Designers in Chicago who are passionate about helping you solve your home design challenges. We work hard to ensure that we are designing a unique space that is tailor-made for your needs - not copying and pasting a previously used design. You will be guided through the interior design, remodeling and decorating process. Even the simplest of projects can have issues arise. We have the experience to look down the road to try and avoid those roadblocks, minimizing the impact, in case we do run into an issue.

In most homes and condos in Chicago, the home office is a critical space that is many times underutilized. When beginning a home office interior design project, you and your design team should always take into account how you will use the space. For some families, you need a small home office space that can be used for paying bills, going through documents and storing other important paperwork. Others may need a setup that is more substantial. A hard-working bachelor wanted our help converting his bland home office into something that he would enjoy working and relaxing in.

Living rooms are traditionally one of the largest and most-used spaces in a household. With so many design options, decorating your living room can easily turn into a complex task. Let our interior designers help you with designing your own living room.

Bathroom remodeling can be a huge undertaking. We have had the privilege of designing many bathrooms and powder rooms for customers over the years ranging from the small powder room to the larger master bathroom suites with walk-in showers, double-sink vanities, and large hot tubs. Putting together a bathroom that will make your neighbors jealous and finally give you a chance to use those bath soaps your friend bought you for your birthday is something that we do every day. If you aren't ready to have a designer help you with your bathroom renovation at this time, check out some of our decorating ideas below.

We love kitchens of all shapes and sizes. If you are looking to start a kitchen remodel or are stuck trying to design the kitchen for your own Chicago home, let us help you out. Check out how we helped some other home owners with their kitchens.

From formal dinner parties to everyday meals, designing a stylish and versatile dining room is a great way to get more out of your home. Let our team of interior designers in Chicago help you design a dining room that meets the needs of your household.

Do you live in Chicago or one of the surrounding suburbs? Are you planning on undertaking a large decorating or renovation project? If you answered yes to both of those questions, a Design Project is probably right for you. With a Design Project, our design team can help you with all aspects of your project to ensure that you end up with the space that you have always wanted. We'll meet with you in your home for about an hour to get to know you, your family and discuss your project. After, you will receive an estimate for the number of design hours we think it will take to work on your project.

Sometimes you just need a little assistance or a second opinion to guide your interior design or renovation project. Our Quick design package is perfect if you need a few hours of expert support from one of our interior designers. We can help you if you live in the Chicagoland area with our in-person packages, or, anywhere with our e-design options. A designer will meet with you for two hours over a Zoom or Facetime call to design a space that fits your style and budget. By the end of the design session, you will have plenty of actionable design tips that you can execute on your own.

Our online interior design sessions allow you to schedule 30 minute blocks of time with one of our interior designers to go over your pressing interior design questions. This allows us to work with you quickly and efficiently over the phone or from your Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, or other Android device. Online interior design sessions are a perfect fit when you have a set of specific questions about your design or home renovation project. We have spent a long time creating and tuning our process to quickly and efficiently get you answers to your design questions.
