Furnishings that turn a finished space into a home.

A designer's eye on every selection, and full coordination from first concept to installation day. Furniture, window treatments, lighting, art, and accessories, designed to work together across your whole home.

See your space, then try fabrics and finishes at virtually no cost.

Furniture, drapery, and rugs are big commitments, and often non-returnable. Our AI-assisted process lets you see your finished room in lifelike 3D and change your mind as many times as it takes, before anything is purchased.

Interior design is a visual field. The biggest risk in furnishing a home is paying for pieces you can’t fully picture yet, so we built our 2D and 3D rendering process around taking that risk off the table.

We start with an accurate, LIDAR-based model of your actual space and produce lifelike renderings of the furnished rooms. From there, we try fixtures, finishes, and fabrics live while we review them together. The sofa in three different linens, brass sconces instead of nickel, a different rug on the floor. A change that used to take days and real money to mock up now happens in seconds, at virtually no cost. You explore as many directions as you want, then commit once.

The benefit goes beyond a better-looking result. When iteration is nearly free, decisions get made with confidence, timelines tighten, and the slow back-and-forth that drags projects out mostly disappears. Your investment goes further.

Technology speeds the process. The judgment stays human.

We treat AI as a tool, not a designer. Every rendering reflects real selections that Erica and the team review and refine, and nothing is auto-generated or dressed up to look like something it isn’t. The technology gets you to a confident decision faster. The taste, the curation, and the accountability stay with us.

What Furnishing With Us Includes

Space Planning & Layout

Furniture plans built around how each room is used and how rooms flow into one another, so scale and placement are right before anything is ordered.

Furniture & Upholstery

Curated case goods and custom upholstery from trade and workroom sources, specified for how you live and built to last.

Window Treatments & Drapery

Custom drapery, hardware, and workroom-fabricated treatments, measured and installed to fit.

Rugs & Textiles

Properly sized rugs, pads, and layered textiles that ground each room and carry the palette through the home.

Decorative Lighting

Chandeliers, sconces, and lamps chosen as part of the whole and coordinated with your existing fixtures.

Art & Accessories

Art and accessories sourced, framed, and styled, then installed on site down to the last detail.

Trade Sourcing & Procurement

Access to vendors and workrooms most clients can’t reach directly, with ordering, tracking, freight, and billing handled for you.

Receiving, Delivery & Installation

We receive, inspect, and store every item, then handle one white-glove install. If something arrives wrong or damaged, we make it right.

Styling, Old and New

A designer brings the room together on site, blending the heirlooms and pieces you already love with new selections, so nothing feels off the shelf.

Our Furnishing Process

Consultation

A complimentary in-home visit to understand how you live and what each space needs to become, with clear cost guidance up front.

Design & Concept

Mood boards, layouts, and selections for materials, fabrics, and furniture, developed around your taste, your routines, and the home as a whole.

Design Presentation

We present your furnishings as finished, resolved rooms, shown in your actual space through lifelike 3D, with fixtures, finishes, and fabrics adjusted live before anything is ordered.

Sourcing & Procurement

Pricing, ordering, tracking, and freight handled across our trade network, with lead times managed so the project stays on schedule.

Receiving, Delivery & Install

Every item received, inspected, and stored until the full order is ready, then installed and styled in one coordinated white-glove visit, with your existing and heirloom pieces worked in.

A Better Way to Furnish Your Home

An exceptional eye, the coordination to carry it through to installation day, and a home that feels like one home.

Furnishing a home well starts with an exceptional eye. Ours edits an overwhelming field of options down to the pieces that are right for your home and the way you actually live, and we guide your style instead of imposing ours. We also design for the whole home, not one room in isolation, so each space complements the next and the house reads as one place rather than a set of unrelated rooms.

The other half is coordination. We handle sourcing, lead times, delivery, and a single installation day, when the room is brought together, styled, and revealed complete. We also love working your history into the design. The heirlooms, the photographs, grandma’s dining table. Mixing pieces like those with new ones is what makes a home feel collected over time instead of bought in a weekend.

What makes the decisions easy is our approach. Before anything is ordered, you see your actual space rendered in lifelike 3D, then we try fabrics, finishes, and fixtures live, at virtually no cost, using AI tools. The sofa in another linen, the sconces in brass, a different rug on the floor, all in one sitting. You commit once it feels right.

We bring access to product lines from hundreds of vendors and trade workrooms, but access only matters in the hands of someone with the eye to use it well. Our portfolio speaks to the rest. (If your project also involves renovation, the same team carries it from design through construction, though you never have to take on construction to work with us.)

Testimonials

"Elegance you're not afraid to live in." — Kate Rockwood

Mahta B.

“We needed help decorating our home a year after moving in. Our old furniture simply didn’t go with the aesthetic. I called around and many places had crazy minimums and, since we weren’t doing construction work, we couldn’t meet. Then we met Erica. She was thoughtful, flexible, and came to the table with great ideas that matched what we had described… the end result was cohesive and beautiful decorating with a little extra something that makes it unique.”

John O'Toole

Streeterville

“Every detail feels intentional, from the sculptural lighting to the curated furnishings and textures. Their ability to integrate architecture, design, and styling into one seamless outcome is remarkable. This was a full-service experience in the best sense, creative, organized, and deeply attentive to how we actually live in our space.”

Meghan T

West Town

“Erica was wonderful to work with. She understood what I was looking for and was able to guide me to select the perfect furnishings for my condo. I look forward to working with her again some day!”

Most clients come to me with an incomplete vision for their home. My goal is to complete it, then exceed what they thought was possible.

Erica Lugbill, Co-Founder & Creative Director

Just furnishing? That works too.

Not every project is a renovation. Some clients come to us to furnish a single room, refresh a home that hasn't been touched in years, or settle furniture and layouts after a move. Others bring us in to finish out a full renovation. We match the engagement to what makes sense for you, and there's no minimum renovation required to work with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help with only furnishing, without a renovation?

Yes. Many clients come to us purely for furnishing and styling, whether that’s a single room, a full-home refresh, or furniture and layouts after a move. There’s no minimum renovation required to work with us.

Do you design the whole home, or just the room I'm starting with?

Both. Even when a project starts in one room, we consider how it relates to the spaces around it, so the finished home feels connected instead of decorated piece by piece. Plenty of clients start in one room and have us carry the look through the rest of the house over time.

Can you work my existing furniture and family pieces into the design?

Yes, and we love to. Heirlooms, photographs, a dining table from your grandmother, the pieces with a story are often what make a home feel like yours. We build around the ones worth keeping and blend them with new selections, so the result feels collected rather than staged.

Can I see my furnished space before I buy?

Yes. We build an accurate, LIDAR-based 3D model of your space and produce lifelike renderings of the furnished room, then try fixtures, finishes, and fabrics live, at virtually no cost, so you can compare options before committing to anything.

Do I get access to trade-only furniture and pricing?

Yes. We source from a vetted network of trade vendors and workrooms most clients can’t shop directly, and we manage ordering, tracking, freight, and billing as part of the process.

Do you handle custom window treatments and drapery?

Yes. We design and manage custom drapery and window treatments from start to finish: fabric and hardware selection, workroom fabrication, measurement, and installation.

Do you receive, store, and install everything, or do I coordinate deliveries?

We handle it. Items are received, inspected, and stored until the full order is ready, then installed and styled in one coordinated visit, so your home comes together at once.

How do you present furniture concepts before I commit?

We present furnishings as finished, resolved rooms rather than a list of products, shown in your actual space through 3D rendering, so you can see how everything works together before you approve anything.

What areas do you serve?

We furnish homes throughout Chicago and the North Shore, and can often travel a little beyond our core renovation area for furnishing work.

Furnishing & Styling for Chicago and the North Shore

We furnish and style homes across Chicago and the North Shore. Because furnishing travels more easily than construction, we can often take on work a little beyond our core renovation area. Get in touch and we'll let you know.
