Interior Design and Organization Experts for Your Chicago Home

Transform Any Room into a Space You Love Coming Home to

The cleaning services offered by Karen's Green Maids extend well beyond the usual cleaning service. The woman-owned, lgbtq+ owned interior design studio located in downtown Chicago is here to help busy homeowners who feel ashamed of their home due to the lack of organization and decor. Homeowners looking for a house that reflects their personality and is also organized and stylish, should contact us. If you're new to purchasing a condo, if you've just finished renovating, or if you need more space than your current house has available, our group of designers will work with you to develop a personalized design plan, based upon your particular needs.

Whether it be the high-rise condos of Streeterville, the multi-unit flats of Wicker Park, the single family homes of Lincoln Park, the loft buildings of the West Loop, or the historic greystone buildings of Logan Square; each neighborhood requires its own approach. To start making recommendations for your space, we'll first sit down with you to go over your daily routine. Once we understand how your household operates throughout the day, we'll begin creating some sketches. Next, after we finish those sketches, we'll put together a shopping list for you. With this shopping list, you'll be able to relax in your newly designed space, knowing that everything in there was hand-picked by us specifically for your household needs. We offer individual room renovations, closet and pantry system designs, as well as full-home redesigns all with the same highly skilled and reliable team that you have come to know and rely on.

Chicago Interior Design & Home Styling Services

Creating an Intentional Atmosphere from Your Front Door to Your Back Bedroom

Every home should reflect a thoughtful design the moment anyone enters and remain that way until they leave. Unlike many other interior designers in Chicago, we consider every project to be one cohesive design narrative rather than a collection of individual rooms. As such, our designer works with you to identify a color palette, a materials direction, and styling rhythm that flows consistently from space to space; this means that your guest bathroom is given the same attention as your primary bedroom.

For example, a River North professional may desire a streamlined and visually appealing condominium. A Lakeview family may require an interior design that withstands messy children and sports equipment. An Andersonville couple may want to celebrate their century-old two-flat building by incorporating elements that reflect its history, while a Bucktown homeowner may require a complete transformation of a previously remodeled single-family home. We will design your space according to your household needs.

What To Consider Before Booking

Before Booking our Interior Design Service in Chicago:

We offer Design and organization as standalone services; however, most of our clients choose to pair these services with a deep clean or move-in clean so they can fully renovate and "reset" their home. We have built a team that will work collaboratively with you during this process to create an experience that is stress-free, brand-driven and unique to your home.

Home Refresh After Move-In:
You recently purchased a new home in Lincoln Park, West Loop, or Streeterville and you would like us to style it correctly for you from the moment you walk through the door rather than buying piece by piece over several months.

Overhaul of Closet & Pantry Space:
Your closet is disorganized, your pantry is uninviting and you are ready to give the task of designing custom storage solutions (bins, labels, etc.) and implementing a long term cleaning/maintenance solution to a professional.

Short-Term Rental Staging & Airbnb:
You desire your short-term rental to look like a boutique hotel upon arrival and after departure when posting photos and reviews. Our goal is to provide your guest with a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a 5-star hotel.

Styling Post-Renovation:
The contractors have finished renovating your home. Now, you need assistance with creating the perfect layout, selecting artwork, purchasing textiles, choosing colors, lighting, etc. To create a cohesive Design that makes your renovated space truly feel like your own home.

Empty-Nester Downsize:
You are downsizing into a smaller home and would like assistance in curating items to take with you while also identifying pieces that may be replaced to create a beautiful and functional space.

Transitions in Family Life:
You've had a child/baby/teenager enter adulthood. Your work-from-home office is now being used as a home school room. The entire household has changed. As such, we will assist in transforming your space to accommodate all members of your family.

Interior Design For All Types Of Households Within Chicago

Adaptable Design & Organizing Based On How You Actually Use Your Space

Our goal is to design for the household that resides in the home – not some theoretical model of it. Solo professionals find solace in treating their downtown pied-a-terre as a refuge. Families need layouts that sustain themselves through chaotic Tuesdays’ evening homework sessions. Empty nesters downsize into smaller, more curated spaces. And short-term rental hosts seek ways to upgrade from four-star to five-star reviews. Whichever type of person is entering your home – our design will support the life inside.

Since our company operates one of the leading eco-friendly cleaning companies in Chicago, we have seen firsthand how homes endure under actual use. That insight influences every aspect of our design decisions – from fabrics used on your dining chairs to finishes used on your closet shelving. You receive a home that photographically appears stunning on the day of your grand opening – and continues to look great six months later.
