Classic Victorian

Overview

Set against the backdrop of unique rooms in this beautiful Victorian, SKIN followed suit with an interior design concept that gives each room its own personality but comes together as one cohesive persona. For one room in particular, SKIN brought their Palm Beach interior design style to this classic Chicago home. Melding the best of both geographic aesthetics, we collaborated on spaces that used deep, rich colors and textures to balance out Floridian florals and bright hues. Our Palm Beach interior designers were delighted at the chance to work with the Chicago office to create an oasis in the Midwest.

From the client

We worked with Michelle and Lauren and their team in Chicago to make our rehabbed Victorian home come alive after 120 years. The team at SKIN possesses notable artistic talent and authentic worldly sensibility. They helped us to create a beautiful blend between elements of the past and present. The process was so fun! Their hands on approach and overall calming presence grew our confidence for literally hundreds of decisions. Working with Michelle brought continuity, creativity and personalization to the process. She is a devoted professional who is not afraid to push her clients to dream and trust their instincts. She will not steer you wrong. No two rooms in our home are alike and yet they all feel like they belong together. SKIN encouraged us to apply our maximalist philosophy as we played with the layering of color, pattern and texture to create depth and interest in each space. They also helped us to create livability and purpose in each room. Our three teenagers now have an appreciation for how design enhances our daily lives in both form and function. The team at SKIN are art connoisseurs and they will help find pieces of value that speak to their clients. We were also encouraged to invest in pieces of heirloom quality furniture and I am forever grateful that I will now be able to pass along
collectors items to our children. Each room in our home is an artistic creation. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think to myself how much I absolutely love our home. It is my favorite piece of art in the world!
