Effortless, serene, timeless. These are just a few of the words our clients use to describe their rooms. Yet, what’s often unseen is just as crucial as the interiors themselves. As a WELL-Accredited design firm, we prioritize natural light and carefully select color palettes and materials that enhance your overall well-being.
Meet Susan El-Naggar
CEO and Principal Interior Designer
Our clients love the transformation of their homes, where chaos is replaced by tranquility. Each room reflects their unique personality and lifestyle, seamlessly bringing their vision to life and surpassing their expectations.
Design was always my path. As far back as I can remember, I had a flare for creativity - from fabrics to sewing to sketching. With a rich design education from the International Academy of Design and Technology, I founded my own interior design firm. With over 25 years of industry experience, I’ve had the privilege of serving high-achieving professionals in the greater Chicago area and beyond.
Continuous design education and international travels both provide a richer design perspective, ensuring our firm stays at the forefront of design trends. From professional roles as President of the prestigious American Society of Interior Designers Illinois Chapter and Designer-on-Call at the iconic Merchandise Mart, each season of my career has brought growth and a renewed passion for creating beautiful interiors.
When I’m not searching for the perfect velvet sectional or grasscloth wallcovering, you'll find me traveling with my husband, Tarik, pursuing our passion for exploring stunning architecture and interiors that inspire timeless, luxurious design.
KIND WORDS
“Susan is one of the good ones.”
She’s a hardworking, talented and humble interior designer who takes feedback well and really listens to her clients.
We worked together to create a custom, high-end home theater with Italian furnishings. The result was amazing and it even won a design award!

Moderne Living
Whether in our wardrobes or our homes, our style choices tell a story.
This coat, once my mother's, serves as a tangible connection to her memory. An extraordinary source of inspiration throughout my interior design journey, her impeccable eye for style has been a guiding light, passed down to me with love and admiration. Today, I carry not only her coat but also her spirit, forever intertwined with my passion for interior design.
As your designer, I’m honored to deeply listen to your stories, your design preferences, and your goals, then curate custom rooms that make you feel truly at home.
