Home Building, Renovation and Design with Sprinkman Design:
A Closer Look at Using a Design-Only Firm
It’s no secret that the home design and building or renovating process is often equal parts exciting and stressful. It’s a blank canvas with so many possibilities – each of them bringing complex decisions, timing parameters, multi-option selections, expectations and uncertainties. Needless to say, it can be extremely beneficial to have experts in your corner every step of the way. An interior designer is no exception to this rule. While sometimes considered a luxury service, hiring a professional interior designer dedicated to you every step of the way minimizes your hassle while maximizing your process — and helps craft the home of your dreams.
Focused on the Finish, From the Start
With a keen eye for an end result you’ll love for years to come, using a professional designer from the start of your home build or renovation allows for the depth of thought and attention to detail that your project deserves. From day one, designers can help determine floor plans for optimal space usage and livability to make sure it meets your needs today and tomorrow. Their expert selection of finishes and fixtures, as well as furniture layouts, selections and creations – guided by your input and comfort level – ensures your space will truly be your own. It’s this unique focus on design in tandem with space planning that means there’s no possibility that your home’s aesthetic will be compromised at any point in the process.
But the sooner the better. The earlier we engage in your project, the more you benefit from what we like to call the ‘soft touch.’ The full understanding and light guidance that offers another perspective and advocates for you. Our professional expertise and cutting-edge industry tools allow us to create visuals and keep your project on track, help translate contractor and construction speak, and make sure that all items are executed correctly.
A designer’s hallmark is our ability to see your design project from every angle, including a true understanding and passion for all the elements like furniture, decor, art, lighting, drapery — and the list goes on. Whether it’s searching for the perfect piece at designer trade shows like High Point Market or leveraging our connections at The Mart in Chicago, an integral part of our work culture to be fully immersed in design by seeking out new vendors, continued education and finding the next best – and bespoke – thing. We don’t want to just make a house, we want to make a home. It’s what helps us create a space that isn’t just option A or B, but option you.

Bringing Hidden Value, Resources + Relationships
A day in the life of an interior designer is never dull, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Working tirelessly to elevate your space with the right touch of luxury, we often blend the everyday with the exclusive. Nowhere is this more important than during the hunt for suppliers and selections. We can offer a broader range of options from across the city or globe via our deeply-rooted industry relationships, scale of preferred vendors and expansive online resources. What does this mean for our clients? That we can access endless choices to find the right match for every single item on your list — no matter where it hails from. This includes flooring, countertops, cabinetry, plumbing, hardware, fixtures and accessories, as well as one-of-a-kind custom items expertly handcrafted to your exact specifications, materials and aesthetic.
We have time-tested relationships with contractors for projects big and small, so the right match doesn’t just mean color or size. When selecting service providers, we’re not confined to anything but a good fit. We consider personality matches, expertise in the areas of need, timeline availability, and budget. Additionally, our expert coordination and selection of the countless other decisions make the neverending checklist seem that much shorter. We also streamline selections for the not-as-obvious, such as grout, electrical plates, bent covers and fixture placements, that, while seemingly mundane, can only contribute to the stress of making that perfect choice. This results in an incredibly expansive range from which to choose based on our expert knowledge, industry connections, understanding of the job at hand and, most importantly, you.
