Experience the Linly Difference

You know the feeling: that anxious yet excited feeling of waiting for the delivery of your new furniture that you purchased from that furniture store. The truck pulls up in your driveway and two guys jump out to begin unloading your pieces
one at a time — first the sofa, then the accent chairs, and maybe if you were lucky you managed to find the perfect cocktail table and end tables to compliment the look.

But now what?

Master Bathroom Remodel

 These clients came to us with one simple wish: make their bathroom more functional.

The couple and their family have lived in this home for over 20 years and have made several attempts to make their bathroom work better for their everyday use. Unfortunately, the bathroom has only been updated with new tiles and fixtures, but it has never been completely redesigned to serve them better.

Enter Linly Designs!

Hinsdale Home – Project Completed! (Part II)


In a previous blog, we discussed starting a project in Hinsdale and showed you finish selections and furniture frames we decided on with our client. Since we recently installed and finished the project, we wanted to share our after photos!

With a family of 6, the most important focus of this room that is used on a daily basis is having enough seating. We didn’t want to fill the room with just anything to get as much seating as possible. Quality, not quantity.

Hinsdale Home – Project Completed! (Part I)

It’s been a long journey for our client and our designers. This was not just a decorating project, but a complete home remodeling project. Our client had hired a local contracting company to put in an addition on the back of their home, ultimately expanding their existing kitchen. She loved the entire concept and the layout of the kitchen but wanted our input on the final finishes of the cabinetry, design details, hardware, and other selections to tie the space together.

We had made several changes such as the cabinetry color, and adding architectural elements such as corbels, arches, and decorative details to the existing cabinetry design. We had also suggested dropping a beam in the center of the kitchen slightly lower than first suggested to create an architectural detail. This would also hide the existing steel beam that supported the new addition.

Bathroom Remodeling

It always seems that once we complete one project in a client’s home, we end up moving through their entire home, or at least one floor to begin with! And it’s no different with this project. Our clients came to us with a request to give them an updated look for their kitchen. Once that was completed, the results were so fantastic and the clients loved it and felt that since the process was so fast and smooth, and they loved the end result, they wanted to continue working with us for their next project.

Hinsdale Home – Project Underway!

Since we often post before and after shots of completed projects, we thought it would be great if our readers could get a glimpse into the middle stages of a project, before we complete it!

We recently started on a great new project in Hinsdale. We met the client during our Open House event in April, and she visited our showroom about a month later to speak with us about her home, and from there she scheduled an In-Home Consultation. We are now in the middle of the project, assisting with her kitchen remodel and also helping design a fireplace mantle with built-ins, as well as coordinate furniture, rugs, lighting and window treatments, and eventually accessories, for her entire lower level.

It’s Time For Your Accessory Call!

Time and time again, we have clients walk in to our showroom with the look of exhaustion and frustration on their faces as a result of the overwhelming idea of accessorizing their home. For most, it is a daunting task that takes years of hard work and patience, and often times many mistakes and missteps are made that end up being very costly in the long run. We’ve felt from the beginning that this aspect of residential Interior Design would be an area where we wanted not only to excel, but to be the best. We have done just that with our In-Home Accessory Call.

Kitchen Showroom Project

By a landslide, the largest project we completed for the back half of our showroom was our custom kitchen. If you’ve visited our showroom in the past few weeks, you know what we’re talking about.  Although Linly Designs is involved with many kitchen remodels over the course of any given month, we’ve simply never had the space to really display what we can do. But things have changed!

Here’s the space before we began. You can see that the old tenants of the building had a very light laminate flooring which honestly looked like plastic and was very dated; we decided we needed to make some serious changes and start from scratch. Also, what was with that green area on the floor?  Very interesting…

Kitchen Remodel

One of our favorite projects to work on is kitchen remodels. Most people know that this tends to be a little on the pricey side, so often times if budget or limited time is the name of the game, we suggest a kitchen face-lift.

We were introduced to the most wonderful clients in Downers Grove through a referral from a previous client. (There is really no better compliment than that!) The Mrs. met with us in our showroom and informed us that she and her husband were looking to update her kitchen. We scheduled an appointment right away to check out her space.
