Hyman Interiors, Chicago

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I have a sensibility for understanding how real people and modern families actually use a space. I design rooms that become the heart of the home based on your wants, needs, and tastes.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I think people who are value interior design, have good taste. They just may not know how to express it or not know how to express it within their budget. Hiring an interior designer can actually save you money and will save you time. Plus, it's fun!

What do you love most about your job?
Letting people know it's OK to repaint furniture you already own, reupholster that favorite chair, or toss a hand-me-down that's no longer useful. I love helping people see the beauty in their own unique sense of style and how to express it!

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
My favorite card reads, "Thank you for all you did to help us organize, arrange and decorate our home. We are loving all your suggestions. Thank you for a thorough and beautiful job that fits our family and lifestyle perfectly. You are great at what you do." It puts a smile on my face!
