You’ve Found Your Dream House let KN Interiors turn it into

DREAM HOME!

Founded in 2009, KN Interiors Inc. is a full-service luxury design studio based in Lake County, IL, and headed by Kristy Nichols. Specializing in residential design, they handle everything from the overhaul of a single space, to the groundup design of your dream home. Known for her modern approach to timeless style, she describes it as “livable luxury.”

Kristy says, “Our clients really LIVE in their homes, and come to us for solutions, both aesthetic and functional, to make their home reflect their lifestyle and personalities. They are incredibly busy with their professions, their families, and pursuing a myriad of interests that do not include navigating the massive number of moving parts involved in ushering a design from concept to completion. They trust us to do that.”

When you work with KN Interiors, one of the first things you’ll notice is a tangible sense of genuine care, followed by a commitment to unparalleled customer service, and an insistence that the experience be an exciting and enjoyable one for everyone involved. To that end, the firm is selective about the projects it takes on, ensuring that each receives the attention and focus required for the exceptional execution they expect to provide.

“Kristy is a true professional with tremendous integrity. I love her attitude and fun approach, and admire her decisive vision and passion for design. I know she always has multiple projects going at once, but she makes me feel as if I am her only client.”

-MH, Antioch IL

It is Kristy’s intention that her firm’s work will improve the clients’ experience in their home long after the projects are complete. She insists, “Your life should be better for having interacted with myself, my company, and our services. It is incredibly humbling to think of all the beautiful moments that are going to be shared in these spaces we’ve created.”

How You Can Strike a Balance Between Historical and Modern Features for Your Chicago Property

In Chicago, many homes date back more than a century, creating a unique challenge for both buyers and homeowners. Striking a balance between preserving the historical integrity of these properties while integrating modern comforts can be delicate yet rewarding. Below are some steps for Chicago homeowners navigating this balancing act.

Research Your Residence

Understanding the history of your home is crucial to maintaining its character. Research your property to learn about its unique features, materials, and architectural style. In Chicago, there is a wealth of information available to homeowners. Consulting with a historical expert can provide valuable insights into the original and significant aspects of your home.

Understand Necessary Permissions

Historic homes often come with specific regulations. Many are protected by the National Park Service, and local preservation laws may also apply. Some structural features cannot be altered without permission from relevant authorities. Determining if you need a permit for renovations is an important step.

Be Clear On Necessary Changes

Some aspects of an older home might be unsuitable for a modern, comfortable lifestyle. For example, proper weatherproofing is beneficial in Chicago’s variable climate. Creating a list of necessary changes will help prioritize renovations. Also, conducting a thorough survey of your home to identify its flaws and your desired alterations will guide you in modernizing your residence effectively.

Plan Around What You Love

Identify and preserve features of your home that you cherish, such as a stunning staircase or original flooring. Planning your renovation around these elements will help retain the historical essence of your residence.

Focus On the Interior, Not the Exterior

The exterior appeal of historic homes is a significant draw for buyers, with picturesque Chicago townhouses from the 1800s being particularly eyecatching. Preserving the exterior maintains curb appeal and historical value. Interior renovations are also less likely to face opposition from preservationists and historical societies.
