Nothing to see here yet.
visit storeWhether you’re embarking on a new construction project to build your "custom" home or you’re renovating your current home, HaylieRead Design can help.
We take the time to genuinely get to know you—your dreams, your preferences, your needs (even your kid’s needs)—and transform your vision into a home that reflects your unique style and lifestyle. No cookie-cutter design strategies here, because that’s not what you’re hiring professionals for!
Our studio specializes in full-service interior design for new construction, large-scale renovations, and comprehensive furnishings, leading each project from concept through completion.
A well-designed home is the result of hundreds of coordinated decisions. Each one impacting the next.
As your interior designer, we lead that process from start to finish, managing everything from layouts and specifications to contractor coordination and final installation. Our role is to ensure every detail is intentional, cohesive, and executed correctly, resulting in a home that feels effortless, but is anything but simple.
The first step is building a team that will work together. And that means hiring an interior designer right from the start!
At the beginning of any project, it is best to have all parties—architect, designer, contractor— all present, communicating, and understanding your goals.
Think about it like making lasagna: the best part about it is that the delicious ingredients are all layered. If you only add sauce at the end, the lasagna will fall flat. Same thing with Interior Design. If the designer comes to the table at the end, the overall design will be surface-level and not fully integrated.
This all depends on the overall scope. A new construction project could take 1 to 2 years to design, build, and finalize. Whereas a bathroom renovation could take 2 months from design to construction. Once HaylieRead sits down with you to learn more about your project, we will be able to provide an estimated timeline.
Our studio is based in Downers Grove, IL, and while our clients are primarily based in the Western Chicagoland area, we do offer design services for our client’s vacation homes throughout the USA.

One of the most important factors to consider when hiring an interior designer is whether or not they’re NCIDQ certified. NCIDQ is the nationwide Interior Design certification that requires over 8,000 professional work hours and 3 passed exams. This certification ensures the designer’s proficiency for design, construction codes, and details. NCIDQ validates that a designer cares about the function and the end result of a project.

All designers come from different backgrounds and work differently. At HaylieRead, we like to go beyond the pretty picture. We care just as much about the beauty of a space as we do about the functionality and livability of a space. Check out the About Us and Services page to learn more about how we can help you.
