Interiors By Forouzan

Forouzan has gone above and beyond expectations, working with our ideas and goals under the somewhat challenging conditions of Spring 2022, helping us make time-sensitive decisions on materials so we could move forward with multiple, interdependent renovation projects: The kitchen, downstairs powder room and laundry room have pulled together very nicely with the materials and colors she helped us select. We have a direction for an overall color scheme, window treatments, fixtures… And I am especially looking forward to setting up a delightful piano room. Here’s the background: My partner and I bought a house that was not move-in ready, but had great potential. Tackling both the structural and decorative goals of an empty house at once felt overwhelming, as we began scheduling contractors. Shortly after the old flooring was removed, I knew we needed additional design help. We also needed to combine furnishings from two separate households. Much of this was in storage while we stayed in a smaller Chicago condo during the house renovations. With Forouzan’s initial consultation, she helped us visualize the broad strokes of a “future state” and find a direction towards a cohesive look and feel. In all of our follow up conversations, she has answered questions to various design dilemmas we encountered, and provided invaluable advice and recommendations for materials, fixtures, and potential colors that could work with both existing furnishings and new -this allowed us to ultimately select materials we love, including: countertops, kitchen cabinet colors and hardware, lighting, bathroom floor tile and accessories, and laundry room floor tile. The “before” and “after” photos will be quite fun!
