Do you design Lincoln Park greystones?

Yes. Greystone and brownstone renovations are among our most common Lincoln Park projects, including kitchens, baths, and whole-home work that preserves original millwork, mantels, and detail.

Can you design a Lincoln Park new construction home?

Yes. We work with your builder and architect from early drawings so millwork, lighting, cabinetry, and finishes are planned before framing closes up.

What should I plan for in a Lincoln Park renovation?

Narrow stairs and tight landings limit furniture delivery, existing plumbing stacks make relocating baths costly, and landmark district rules can govern exterior work. All of it is manageable when planned early.

Interior Designer in Wilmette, IL

Sarah Jacquelyn Interiors is an experienced interior designer serving Wilmette, IL. The firm designs Colonial, Tudor, and center-entry home renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, additions and dormer build-outs, mudrooms and family spaces, and whole-home furnishing built for how families in Wilmette actually live.

Interior Design for Wilmette Homes

Wilmette is family territory. The housing stock reflects it: center-entry Colonials, Tudors, Cape Cods, brick Georgians, mid-century ranches, and a growing number of gut renovations and additions as families choose to stay and expand rather than move.

The design work here is practical and personal at the same time. Kitchens that were closed off in 1955 need to open without losing the character of the house. Bedrooms need to become primary suites. Basements need to become real living space. Every square foot has to earn its keep, and the result still has to look like a home rather than a floor plan.

Designing for a Family Home That Still Looks Good

Durability and beauty are not opposites. Performance fabrics, washable wallcoverings, indoor-outdoor rugs, and well-chosen finishes let a Wilmette home absorb kids, homework, dogs, and daily traffic while still holding the color, texture, and pattern our work is known for.

The other half of family design is storage. Built-ins, banquettes, and properly planned mudrooms recover space that freestanding furniture wastes, and they are the difference between a house that feels crowded and one that feels calm.

Planning a Wilmette Renovation

Older Wilmette homes bring plaster walls, original plumbing stacks, and limited electrical capacity, all of which affect what can be moved and what it costs. Additions carry village permitting and setback review that add time to the front of a schedule. Cabinetry and appliance lead times, not construction, usually determine when a kitchen finishes. Selections made early are the most reliable way to protect both budget and timeline.
