Katie just knows her stuff. She approached our project with a no nonsense that was exactly what we…read moreneeded. We gave her a throw blanket as a starting off point for our bedroom, and she picked a few paint and carpet options that were perfect and that, most importantly, we never would have chosen without her help. She also helped coordinate new paint and towels and a more modern look for our master bath. You just don't know what you don't know in interior decorating. We were not interested in creating the thousand row spreadsheet and Houzz accounts for this project so felt we got a great return for Katie's reasonable fee. We had never used an interior designer before, but will definitely call Katie for future improvements.

"I first hired Katie to help redecorate my living room (it looked like an empty bachelor pad). I…read moredidn't have a lot of money to spend and was unsure if I could even afford a decorator. Katie was amazing and willing to work with any budget. She was able to use a lot of my existing decor in the house in different ways than I ever imagined. The living room looked incredible after she was finished. I have since used her to pick out paint colors and help us buy a new couch. I will definitely be using her again in the future."

By far the greatest interior designer in Illinois. We worked with Nadia to fully furnish our newly…read moreacquired house in Naperville and we couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did Nadia came up with beautiful and detailed concepts for our rooms but she incorporated our ideas and personalities into her art. We are extremely happy with her choices and artistic tastes. She is a masterful designer that takes her profession very seriously. It's easy to see she is studious of current trends and styles.

We will def use her services again.

I hired Kristin to help me remodel my living room, change lighting and repaint my condo. I needed…read moreto brighten hallways, bedroom and utility closet. Kristin recommended the perfect fixtures as well as added lighting to a utility closet making it far more usable. The most dramatic change was in the living room. It had lighting around the perimeter but there was no electric in the center of the room so it was a dark space. Kristin had the brilliant idea of building beams to run along the ceiling and install dimmable lights in the beams. It changed the ambience of the room completely. That, along with new fixtures made my home much more livable. Her patience, good taste in wallpaper and paint colors and good choice of well qualified contractors contributed to a successful job. I would highly recommend Kristin Taghon Interior Designs for any project.

We couldn't decide what we wanted to do so we called in Jasmin and Kristin to help out. What I appreciated the most is that they took the time to understand our budget, our style and what we liked and didn't like about our condo. They made some great recommendations and came up with interesting ideas that we wouldn't have made on our own. They also listened to our ideas and were happy to go with some of our choices. Once we decided on the work we wanted, they helped us choose contractors and were happy to include one of our recommendations in the bidding process. Jasmin and Kristin took care of all of the logistics of the work, from ensuring the elevators were reserved to making sure the contracts had proof of insurance. They ordered all the parts and scheduled the contractors so that they were able to work together and weren't tripping over each other. It was amazing, I was so thankful that we got the whole condo painted, a new backsplash in the kitchen and lots of new lighting installed the week that my wife and son were out of town. The contractors were always on time, very professional and did a great job. We were very happy with Jasmin and Kristin and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Made by individuals that take great pride in their work, which is visible in the quality of their products. They do it all, in home designs, manufacturing, shipping and installation. Having their own installation team ensures the projects are installed consistently and correctly. No matter the size of project i feel this company can get the job done right! I have shopped The Container Store for years and they offer multiple lines of closet and storage solutions that fit many budgets, which makes it a great value for any budget. You'll find they not only offer closets, but they have a line of garage organization systems. The quality of the garage systems is spot on. Very good quality! While visiting one of the Chicago area stores, I saw they even have wooden wine racks, work from home office spaces and many more specialized custom spaces. I love their latest lighting storage solutions as well. Very innovative! Great value and a fun place to shop. The stores staff are always friendly and welcoming. I've shopped with a lot of the same staff for years which tells me it must be a great company.

We ordered a media center and a closet organizer for our new home a total price that is in the…read more$6.000 range, for reference. Our "designer" (Patti) was not great to work with, talked a mile a minute, repeatedly spoke over us and had no follow up skills once the contract was signed. In fact, I have never heard from her again, nor have I heard from anyone from Closet Works to date to discuss this situation despite multiple requests for someone in management to call me back. Our initial install date was on December 15th, 2021. On the install date, there were MANY issues the main ones are below, but there are several more more minor issues that need to be addressed: 1. The wall and the locations of the outlets were measured incorrectly forcing the installers to do cutouts to the boards between cabinet sections to accommodate outlets. -- This renders the outlets unusable since the drawers push against the outlets, forcing us to choose a smaller drawer box. 2. Missing parts to the overall design. 3. Incorrect holes drilled in doors for the knobs, forcing us to choose a different design with credit or reorder all 4 of the doors. 4. Other design issues or incorrect parts for the media center and closet. 5. Damage by the installers to our ceiling and floor. This is only the beginning of the lack of any actual customer service and professionalism by Closet Works, their owners or leadership. Once the installers discovered these issues, they told me to "contact our designer." Which I did, and she promptly sent me to voicemail. When she did call back, she was apparently in too much of a rush to speak to me, so asked me to send her an email with all of the issues and pictures and "she would get it taken care of." Fast forward a few weeks (4 weeks to be exact), we had not heard anything. So I followed up with an email to our designer and received an email from the designer that stated "This is all my fault. I'm going to complete the order today. I've been sick then helping others sick. I'm so very sorry. " So ok, fine - I get it things happen. Two weeks later, I have still not heard anything definitive - so I called myself... I was directed to Amanda in service, who is apparently in charge of post install issues.. She informed me that she had not been made aware of any of these issues that needed to be corrected. We are now 6 WEEKS POST INITIAL INSTALLATION at this point. Amanda asked me to send pictures, make decisions about what needed to be done, which size drawers needed to be installed, etc., etc.. A point of note nobody has come back out to the house to look and see what needed to be done so if it's wrong again, that's on Closet works. I did, and guess what - I never heard from here again or any confirmation that we were moving forward. SO...here we are NOW 3 months+ post install and no resolution. We have been unable to use our TV and media center now for 3 months. But I did receive a call this week - stating they could come back on March 23rd and install / fix the items that needed to be addressed, a date that is 4+ months post install!!!! Are you serious??? I've called several times, asked to speak to a manager and never once received a call back, apology, or confirmation that they had started to fix the issues! Also, my floor and ceiling are still damaged and there has been no comment on those issues or indication of repair. It's not worth the trouble to save a few dollars, go somewhere else and save yourself the hassle.

Our experience with Janessa was absolutely fantastic. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical of…read morethe value of an interior designer before we started working with her, since my wife and I had a decent vision for what we wanted to do with our home. But that's what made Janessa so great: she used her expertise to get the most out of our desired style rather than just imposing whatever was trendy on us. Plus, she was really resourceful in helping us get the most out of our budget and finding us excellent quality products at reasonable prices. For me, the most pleasant surprise was Janessa's ability to create a home that's both timelessly stylish and comfortable to live in. Whenever we have guests over, they often stop in their tracks in awe at what she's done with our space. At the same time, our home is so cozy for both hanging out and working. I really didn't expect both of those goals to be achievable in a single design, but Janessa nailed it. I've already recommended Janessa to multiple friends and family members based on our great experience. Our home is the best testimonial for her work, since people can't stop asking about it!

I was introduced to…read moreher by a friend, during Feb. 2021, when we had significant ice damming damage in multiple rooms in my house. She always had a professional to reach out to no matter the issue - refinishing a water damaged table and chairs, reupholstering furniture, creating draperies and bedding, etc. And having barely met me, she was able to find fabrics, wallpaper and paint that were a fit for my style and budget. After getting through this project, she then quarterbacked a total family room make over which included all new furniture, tearing out paneling, fake ceiling beams and a brick fireplace. Oversaw the addition of new drywall, built-in cabinets and shelves, new can lighting, AND she was there almost every day communicating with the contractors & the furniture showroom at the Mart during the project. We were out of town for 2 months and thus Jennifer allowed us to not have to live through the construction as it was completed on time and finished upon our return. Her communication, even given the distance and time zone difference, was great. We came home to a beautiful new family room! I need to figure out another room to redo so I can work with Jennifer again!!!
