Interior Design Consultation in Chicago, IL
Designer On Call is an hourly interior design consultation service in Chicago, IL from Sarah Jacquelyn Interiors, bookable in two-hour orten-hour blocks. It covers in-home consultations, paint color selection, builder selections for cabinets, counters, hardware and tile, rug sizing, furniture rearranging, lighting advice, and designer-access shopping at the Merchandise Mart.
Design Advice, By the Hour
Our Designer On Call service is perfect for clients who just need a little design advice or hand-holding.
Not every project needs a full design team. Sometimes you need an experienced set of eyes for two hours — to confirm the rug size, kill the wrong paint color before you buy five gallons of it, or walk your builder selections with you so you do not freeze in the showroom.
Designer On Call is bookable in two-hour or ten-hour blocks of time.
