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 Winnetka, IL

Sarah Jacquelyn Interiors is an award-winning interior designer serving Winnetka, IL. The firm designs new construction homes, historic estate and East Winnetka renovations, kitchens and primary suites, custom millwork and cabinetry, and full-home furnishing, working alongside North Shore builders and architects from early drawings through installation.

Interior Design for Winnetka Homes

Winnetka is a village of large lots, mature trees, and serious architecture. Tudor, Colonial, Georgian, and Prairie-style homes from the early twentieth century sit alongside a steady stream of custom new construction on teardown lots, particularly east of the tracks and near the lake.

Both types of project need a designer early. On a historic estate, the challenge is updating systems, kitchens, and baths without losing the proportion and detail that give the house its value. On new construction, the challenge is the opposite: a large home with no history can read as generic unless millwork, cabinetry, lighting, and finish detail are planned as one coherent scheme.

Working With North Shore Builders

Large Winnetka projects run on builder schedules with batched selection deadlines. Missing one stalls a trade and costs money. We keep selections ahead of those deadlines, documented in the format your builder’s team expects, and we review architectural plans early while furniture fit, sightlines, millwork depth, and lighting placement can still be adjusted inexpensively.

Winnetka also has its own approval and permitting rhythm, and lakefront and older properties can carry additional review. Building that into the schedule at the start prevents surprises later.

Design With a Point of View

Our work is known for layering color, texture, and pattern, and it has been recognized with Design Excellence Awards for Dining Room Design, Custom Textile, Custom Detail in Millwork, and Specialty Framing. For a large Winnetka home, that means rooms that feel considered and personal rather than a repeat of the last four houses on the street.
