How we create a

Meaningful Home

We start by getting to know you—in tandem with getting to know your space. As we get to know your story—your way of living, your cultural heritage, and your sensibilities—we will begin to find our design inspirations. Your space will become the canvas for our collaboration with you.

Our approach expands the possibilities of the meaning of home through the design process.

Even redoing a single room can transform how you live. Moving into a new house is an opportunity to create your dream home.
We believe that everyone deserves a meaningful space to call home.

Principal Designer

Alice Benjamin

My passion is telling your unique story through a collaborative process that thrives on deep connections to design a space that truly represents who you are. I am not afraid to get personal. 

I was born in Paris, raised in Montreal, lived in Toronto, and settled down with my family in Chicago over a decade ago. My life experiences continue to inspire my designs while my background in the financial industry allows me to excel at project and budget management. 

I have created an amazing supportive and creative team that ensures that our projects fully encompass what’s important to each of our clients.  

After 20 years in the business, I still enjoy learning from travels, the art of eating, visiting artists’ studios and museums, and attending international design shows. I cherish the artisan community and have a deep love and respect for fine craftsmanship and the evolution of materials in our industry.

Invested in You

"Working with Alice Benjamin as my interior designer for the renovation of my primary suite was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Alice possesses an extraordinary talent for divining and understanding her clients’ visions and translating them into stunning realities. From our initial consultation to the final reveal, Alice’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly remarkable. She listened attentively to my ideas, preferences, and lifestyle needs, translated them into actual design features, and then seamlessly integrated them into her design concepts. One of the big design elements we discussed was a fireplace. I remember having many conversations with Alice about a fireplace and where to put it; my fireplace is now one of my favorite features of my bedroom.

Alice’s ability to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal is truly commendable. Her expertise in space planning, color coordination, and selection of materials transformed my primary suite into a space that not only reflects my personality but also exceeds my expectations. Throughout the project, Alice demonstrated impeccable communication skills, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. She made many visits to my house, not only to help me design my primary suite but also to check on the progress of construction. Alice’s dedication to excellence and her passion for design shine through in every aspect of her work. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Alice Benjamin to anyone seeking a talented and professional interior designer. Thank you, Alice, for making my bedroom and bathroom suite a reality!"

"We could not be happier with the gorgeous design of our new kitchen and family room. Alice has incredible taste and takes into account a family's lifestyle and needs. For our kitchen,  we wanted it be timeless, stunning, and functional. Alice took the time to understand how we live our lives and use our space, showed us the possibilities, and designed something we never could have imagined on our own. Alice's attention to detail is fantastic, recognizing that small touches can make a good project great. As for interior decorating, Alice has incredible taste and vision.

She transformed our family room from tired and dated to beautiful and timeless, while also ensuring that the pieces we chose could withstand heavy family use and a heavy entertainment schedule. Both our kitchen and family room look like show pieces, but are designed to be lived in and used regularly. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Alice stands by her work, overseeing a project from beginning to end and demanding nothing less than excellence from all her vendors. I highly recommend Alice and her team."

"I couldn't be happier with our new office, powder room and master bedroom. Alice is always careful to include options at multiple price points, and finds beautiful fabrics and hardware. I am sure that her talents for seeing proportions and synthesizing images have saved me a good deal of money in prevented mistakes. I look forward to working with Alice on our next project!"

Stacy R.

"I hired Alice to help me come up with a plan that would make my historic Victorian house feel livable and welcoming to my kids as well as feel modernized and make into a home I could enjoy. Alice took the time to get to know how I wanted to "live" and then we collaborated on every aspect of the design together which, I feel, turned out great.

Alice sourced amazing furniture, fabrics, picked color, and many other design elements to give a cohesive look to the space. We used both custom and "off the shelf" furniture to complete the look on time and more importantly on budget! She always presented me with numerous options and was a joy to work with. I recommend her very highly!"
