What Our Clients Say

My husband and I were truly overwhelmed with our house renovation especially since the house we purchased was a midcentury modern and it wasn’t our particular style but the water views were amazing so we decided to take the challenge and renovate instead of tearing down. Our builder introduced us to Christie and she was invested in our project from early architectural plans to the final touch ups. Over the 4 year renovation, Christie and our builder worked together seamlessly with each other and my family. She gave us the option of how involved we wanted to be with the design elements and we chose the middle ground of not having choices made for us but presented with a few options that she h...Read More

Christie Kenny has amazing talent and creativity! She put so much effort forth in getting to know our family including our likes and dislikes. She put her heart into creating a space that brings our family together to spend quality time in comfort and class! And she did this all within a small budget. I can't thank her or recommend her enough!Read More

Christie Kenny is a joy to work with. Having worked very hard to restore our period home, we had ‘white walled’ rooms planning to come back and add color. Then the years started to pass...until Christie came in bringing her natural eye for style and color. Within a few short weeks our house transformed into the home we had originally dreamed. Christie is a wonderfully professional designer bringing with her a warm, engaging, and humble demeanor that motivates her client to move forward confidently with their desired project. I highly recommend Christie Kenny Interiors and am so pleased to have had the experience of working with her! Thank you Christie!Read More

Christie Martin

Christie is so wonderful to work with. I'd highly recommend her! I used another designer prior to working with her, and I didn't feel that the first one understood what I wanted, and didn't seem to care too much about the project. In contrast, Christie really took the time to understand what our style is (and actually helped develop it more), and worked hard to make the project fit our house, lifestyle, and *budget*! She is realistic and knows how to work within a budget, using lots of resources. More than that, she is a total pleasure to work with, and I'll definitely go to her again.Read More

Christie is great to work with - she has a "can do" attitude. She runs a very professional operation. She has excellent project management skills and collaborated very well with our builder. She has excellent design ideas that tied everything together. She is a pleasure to work with, easy going, flexible and always has a smile. I am extremely pleased with the kitchen remodel and would highly recommend her.Read More

Chris Reagan

Christie and team have been amazing! Although I love interior design I had no idea where to start when we bought our first home. I didn’t even know what look and feel I wanted or how to put my blurred vision together. When I contacted Christie to help with the interior of our new home, I could tell she was really listening to every word I was saying. I struggled with furniture placement, decor, and overall how to make the design of each room flow throughout the house. Everything she advised us on was perfect and watching our house come together with her expertise has been amazing. Each room has tuned out better than I could have imagined and cannot wait to see the completed producti!Read More

Christie was recommended to us by our architect. I really needed to work with someone who could guide me on the art and science of design. I had a bit of a vision of what I wanted but didn't know how or if it would all work together. I still remember Christie saying that when you have a well designed space, people will walk in and say, "oh what a nice space" and then they will start noticing the thoughtful details and start saying "oh look at that, oh look at that". We wrapped up our project in May of 2020 and therefore no one walked into the space. As we have emerged from pandemic life and are having people in our home again, exactly what she said is happening. People say, "Oh this is...Read More

New home 2022 Christie was amazing! Organized, easy to work with, and very personable. Would love to work with her again! #BlackLakeHouseRead More

Josh Ries Construction, Inc

As a general contractor, I have worked closely with many designers over the years. Christie and I have worked on several projects together and she is by far and away the most organized, decisive and accessible designer I have ever worked with. Her plans are well thought out and clearly written which translates to easy execution. It makes what could be a very complicated project run seamlessly which is great for me but even better for her clients. Looking forward to more of the same in the future!Read More

Jeremy Kraft

It had been 18 years since I did any styling with our house. I was spurred into action by some damage to our walls by a bad ice dam one winter. Once that was fixed, I both needed to recarpet my entire house, and wanted to update my family room and bedroom for years, but couldn’t seem to find the direction I wanted to go in. I knew I needed some help. I started looking online for reviews about interior designers. I did look at portfolios but the most important thing to me was what clients thought about the actual designer. I feel like I might be easily swayed into accepting their style when it really might not be something that I deeply liked, because that had happened to me before. C...Read More

Absolutely loved working with Christie and her assistant! We were looking for a full service interior designer with creative ideas, a fresh and contemporary style and quality contractors and vendors. Christy is so thorough and came up with a design plan that met our design needs. Our new space is both functional and stylish...we love it! All of the contractors and vendors we worked with through Christy did great work and were really nice to work with. I highly recommend working with Christy Kenny Interiors and her team.Read More

Christie and her team are terrific. Creative, timely and very professional. She also kept her eye on the bottom line which we certainly appreciated. Project involved converting a second BR into an office and dog room. VERY happy with the result.Read More

She is an excellent designer, and her customer service is head and shoulders above the rest. She is courteous, responsive, knows how to stay on budget and on schedule, and will not disappoint.

Christie Kenny's design expertise has been an absolute game-changer for our home. As the owner and designer, she played a pivotal role in customizing our home and making it a dream come true. From helping us decide on colors, lighting, materials, to expertly designing our bathrooms, kitchen, mudroom, and bedrooms, she demonstrated an exceptional level of skill and creativity. What truly sets Christie apart is her ability to gently nudge us out of our comfort zone, resulting in a home that's not only beautiful but also unique and tailored to our preferences. She was consistently available, from the very beginning to the end of our project, addressing our questions, being patient with our lac...Read More

I HIGHLY recommend Christie Kenny Interiors. Christie was so easy to work with! She listens and organizes so many details its quite amazing. We enjoyed working with her so much she really was a friend to us. She was so easy to talk to and bounce ideas off that I will definitely use her again for our next housing project. We had a larger project that was initially a lot for us to mentally think about but she broke it down and made it seem so simple. Her attention to detail and making sure that your space is YOUR space really stood out to me.Read More

Heidi Mulhall

We hired Christie to help with our kitchen/bathroom/mudroom remodel and we absolutely love the results! I had a very particular vision and Christie did such a great job making that vision come to life. I wanted a modern look but still wanted it to feel warm and inviting. She presented different options to us and was patient as I struggled to find just the right look I was going for. Remodels are stressful but she put me at ease and earned my trust right from the beginning. Christie and her assistant Linda were so fun to work with - I highly recommend!Read More

Geeta Wood

We recently gave our kitchen a facelift and had the pleasure of working with the fabulous Christie Kenny of Christie Kenny Interiors. The end result was nothing short of amazing. Just yesterday, we even had a magazine photo shoot in our kitchen—and of course, Christie was there to assist with staging and styling. It was an incredible experience! Christie completely transformed our kitchen, taking our vague ideas and turning them into a stunning, functional space that perfectly reflects our style. She’s a strong advocate for sustainability and reducing waste, and did a fantastic job repurposing some of our existing cabinets—giving them a fresh new look. We were thrilled to both reduce our env...Read More

We moved from the city to Clarendon Hills last fall, and knew we wanted to work with a designer to help create the best spaces for us in our new home. After talking to a few options, it was clear Christie & her team were the right choice. They were organized, thoughtful, fun, and really got to know us even before we started the detailed work together. Throughout the process, they somehow understood what we needed more than we did! The designs were perfectly tailored to us and our lifestyle -- modern, cozy, and functional in our everyday crazy family life. They also kept us updated every week so we never had to worry about the pieces coming together. We loved working with Christie, Linda, and...Read More

We had a terrific experience with Christie and her team. Christie really takes the time to evaluate the space, listen to your concerns or ideas, and assemble a plan for your project. She and her team were thoughtful and respectful of our time and budget at every step of the process. The space that we worked on with Christie is stunning. Her design ideas are original and sophisticated. Guests are completely blown away when they see the updates. I look forward to working with Christie and her team again soon!Read More
