What our process looks like.

At Terracotta Interior Designs, we believe that exceptional spaces emerge from a thoughtful, structured approach. Our refined design process ensures every project—from paint consultations to full-home transformations—receives the attention to detail and creative vision it deserves.

We've developed this eight-step journey to guide our Chicago western suburban clients from initial concept through flawless execution. Each phase is purposefully designed to eliminate uncertainty, streamline communication, and transform your vision into beautifully livable spaces that reflect your unique lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

  • Your journey begins with a brief conversation to discuss your project goals, timeline, and budget. This initial call helps us determine if we're the right fit for your needs and allows you to ask any questions about our approach to luxury interior design in Chicago's western suburbs.

  • We visit your space to understand its potential, challenges, and your vision firsthand. This valuable meeting allows us to connect personally—essential for what will become a collaborative partnership. Great design emerges from strong relationships, and we believe in getting to know our clients as individuals. Following this visit, we'll prepare a customized scope of work tailored to your specific project needs.

  • Once you're ready to proceed, we formalize our partnership with a signed agreement and retainer. We'll establish our communication protocols, set up regular meeting schedules, and provide access to our client portal where you can track your project's progress. This structured approach ensures your project launches with clear expectations and momentum.

  • During this in-depth session, we explore your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations through our comprehensive questionnaire and review of your inspiration images. We'll document your space with detailed measurements and photographs, creating the foundation for your design plan.

  • We reveal the creative direction for your space through mood boards, preliminary space plans, and material direction. This meeting allows us to refine the overall "feel" of your design and confirm that spatial arrangements will enhance your daily living experience before moving into specific selections.

  • Experience your new space through detailed presentations of furnishings, materials, finishes, and decorative elements. Once approved, we handle all ordering logistics, allowing you to simply anticipate the transformation without the stress of managing countless details.

  • Our team manages every aspect of your order processing, tracking, and quality control. We coordinate with vendors, troubleshoot any challenges, and keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring everything arrives as expected for a seamless installation.

  • The most exciting day arrives when our installation team transforms your space, placing every piece with precision. We handle all delivery coordination, furniture placement, art installation, and styling of decorative elements. You'll return to a completely finished space that exceeds your expectations—a true design reveal moment.
