Interior Design Chicago: Deb Reinhart Interior Design Group Inc.

The sheer scale has left people shocked 😲

Love this project ! Professional couple purchased a renovated urban home in the heart of Chicago.
Of course the first purchase is the rug
( thank you Oscar Isberian ) .
The rug goal was a tribal or contemporary rug, yet when this traditional rug was shown for comparison, the couple said in unison
‘Love This’!
Rugs will speak to you -only in person

What does 75 look like?
A surprise birthday party hosted by my daughter’s family included a small treasured group of family and friends.
My daughter and son in law commented your friends are ‘good people’ !
My friends commented Andy and Britt are wonderful and your grandchildren are delightful (13,12 &9). Diversity was represented well ( countries Russia, India, Columbia ) and professions ( entrepreneurs, experts in AI, investing, shipping and medical -and my hairdresser guru ).

My goals have changed, as aging rings a different bell from decades ago.
I treasure this group who celebrated best in life with me, my-family and friends! AND Missed loved ones too far away to attend !

PS closely check out stalker behind the 75 balloons was my son in law who patiently kept the numbers in proper order.

and experience

I love this sconce every time I see it. The natural materials, layers of colors and back lighting creates a completely different piece than when powered off !
Flank a fireplace, greet guests in a foyer or pop a dining room, this piece adds character to any styled interior

The showroom stopped me in my tracks! With a 30 year ID career, I appreciate any exceptional artistic form.
The application and ex*****on of this textile pattern onto the sofa represents the best of the best !
A vibrant color pattern exquisitely matched on each cushion, is a showstopper! With a BW photo ..the magic of this sofa .. p**f .. disappears. While not everyone’s cup of tea, the sofa is striking !

Lake Forest Design Social last week was a blast from the past! Traditional iconic patterns in textiles were reimagined by many up and coming (artisans) business owners as well as established vendors.
2 of my favorites are here!
👏Bold large scaled fabrics also available in lamp shades !
👏Asian murals with gorgeous metallic ground
Color perfection with these 2 !

Great quote: Creatives are free spirits - often limitless for new design concepts.
For Interior Designers executing ‘creation’ is complex as we ‘manufacturer’ each interior area with dozens of objects, furnishings, flooring and technology ( that changes daily ) with vetted trades.

To complete a home , I like to accent the ‘working creation’ - with the unexpected
Often original art or an antique.

# familyfriendly

Revisting -one of our favorite projects is a family room in a turn -of -the century home , close to Lake Michigan. With 5 children, we chose a whimsical indoor-outdoor fabric on comfy bamboo chairs, a large sectional anchored with a classic oriental rug.
Family friendly designed to be tastful and approachable-and 10 years later, timeless.

When you walk into a home we designed , we want you to see the owners, and their life.

The homes we design are always unique in part due to decades of experience crafting artifacts, furnishings and technology seamlessly to the architecture .

The homes we design are always unique because our clients are -and we are dedicated to telling their story.

Presentation for young family: playful windows
bathroom, indoor outdoor upholstery

Art- matching clients taste in Art to their personal aesthetic and then specifying the art to enhance their hones is more challenging than crafting the interior design- I have found. Presently I am sourcing art for 2 unique homes - a contemporary out of state residence as well as a vintage home locally close to Lake Michigan. Remarkable the same artist pieces can work in both unique homes !

Jessica Pisano’s piece caught my eye today.
How many Birds have you seen in art ?
These wings are uniquely turned in, the 2 birds break the rule of 3s and where is their tree ?
:-)
Still I am smitten with this calm zen like attention grabbing piece .

2025 interior design tip. Usually large scaled pieces and any wall are most effective. Avoid postage stamps on walls.
