Doing Interior Design In Chicago

By Wendy Naceria


When it comes to doing and getting an interior design done, the process is similar in any part of the world, and this means any city in the world. So while I will give some recommendations for Chicago designers to look into at the bottom of this text - I will keep the article rather general and universal in scope.

I want to start off by making a clear distinction between interior decorations and interior design. Those who work with interior design are there when you need have a new place and want to set it up right from the start. If you have an already established interior and you just want to redecorate it and spice it up a little bit, then what you need is interior decoration, usually done by an interior decorator.

The next decision you will need to make is between two other types of options. There is another fork in the road, and this time regarding whether you hire a professional or do it yourself. Let me inform you that doing interior design on your own is more expensive, so being cheap is usually not a good reason for DIY.

There are some hard questions you need to ask yourself in order to find out whether you can really do it on your own. I want you to be honest about your capability for patience. Can you really be patient in terms of taking all the time and effort it takes to master a whole new trade?

If you decide you are in a hurry or are not in the mood to do it by yourself, you need to hire a good professional. And how do you find the good ones in Chicago? Well, that is very simple my friend. Pull all of your Chicago connections and ask everyone you know whom they can recommend. Start visiting friend's homes and asking how and who did their design.
