We worked with Kaylan on a bathroom remodel. Working with both Kaylan and her team was a fantastic experience. She was accommodating to provide multiple options at varying price levels and the end result is great. I would definitely recommend working with Kaylan in the future.
We redid my daughter and sons room! Both rooms turned out amazing and Kaylan and her team were so wonderful with plenty of choices and options! The workmanship was fantastic!
Very happy with my experience using Kaylan as an interior designer. She created a beautiful master bedroom and living/dining room in my West Loop condo in Chicago. Extremely responsive and knowledgeable and also very friendly personality! I wouldn't hesitate to use Kaylan again or to recommend her to anyone!
I ve known Kaylan for almost 10 years. I ve been in the Design industry a long time and I know a lot of different designers in Chicago and how they work. Anyone would be lucky to work with Olive Juice Interiors and Kaylan! Her creativity and energy are incredible. She is very talented and professional. What I love most about her is her positivity and amazing attitude. She has no ego and is not a diva in any way. She is very collaborative and will make your interior design experience a lot of fun as it should be!!!
Working with Kaylan was such a pleasure! I loved how she shared options that were both high/low price points, and offered creative solutions to styling/designing our Lincoln Park home. She has a great sense of style, but always brought options to personalize for me. Great experience!
We bought a home that I didn t even know where to begin decorating. Kaylan came in and turned it into a home we love. Her attention to detail and her creativity completely transformed our home.
I've used Kaylan's interior design expertise to help us decorate two different condos in Chicago over the years. I always knew that I could rely on her to deliver on time and on budget. Her eye for design is amazing, and we always received a TON of compliments from visitors. I would highly recommend Kaylan and Olive Juice to anyone looking for an interior designer in Chicago!
Fantastic and incredibly personable designer. She had excellent opinions when we didn't feel strongly and wanted her to run with it, as well as worked to find what we want when we had some idea of what we needed. She was really easy to converse with and always available by text or email. I would highly recommend Kaylan!
I can't express how disappointed I am that I have to write this review. Kaylan helped us with the interior design of our new construction home (it's the primary house marketed on her website, instagram, Chicago Magazine, etc.). We spent countless hours and thousands of dollars with her, including almost 20K alone on the window treatments/drapes for our house. However, we recently had our 2nd baby (we also hired her after 1st baby was born for nursery) and needed to add blackout fabric to the existing drapes that she designed, selected fabric for, & installed in a spare bedroom. When we contacted her about it she refused to help us unless we paid her a minimum of 5 hours. When we asked why it required 5 hours of design time to simply add a blackout fabric to existing drapes that she already designed, when the majority of the work was being done by a 3rd party seamstress, she was unresponsive to multiple emails. We felt completely taken advantage of as she tried to over-charge us when we've given her a ton of business, Also, after countless projects, I never even received a simple thank you for the business, the only emails I have concluding our previous projects were emails telling us we needed to purchase more hours. Honestly, we would never recommend her to anyone, she was extremely unprofessional, unresponsive, and flat out rude to us as her clients that provided her with so much business.
I really can t express how Kaylan totally changed the 3,000 square foot condo we bought! It was a beautiful space but I wasn t sure at all about how to make it into the space I wanted it to be.
Kaylan came in with the best ideas and even my very skeptical husband was totally blown away by all of her ideas as they came to fruition.
Kaylan has the best resources for painters, carpenters and upholstery. She has impeccable taste and I couldn t be happier!!!! Actually thrilled with how our place is turning out and it doesn t get any better than that.
I never in a million years would have been able to achieve what she has without her.
She is very conscious of cost and works at keeping the price down. I think she is very capable of working with all budgets on all sorts of projects.
We haven t finished with all the work here yet but it has already been transformed.
I used Kaylan at Olive Juice for carpet(fabulous) drapes(drop dead gorgeous) painting and putting up wainscoting(which transformed entryway) and furniture both new and re upholstery! Couldn t be happier!
Do yourself a favor and give her a call. You ll be amazed at her level of talent and professionalism.
We at Kenneth Ludwig Chicago have had the pleasure of working with Kaylan now for over 4 years. We have found her delightful, extremely professional and very hard working on behalf of her clients. In this day in age of everyone thinking they are " a designer ", or can duplicate looks, you couldn't do what Kaylan does to achieve the look ! She follows up with all purchases & deliveries with our showroom as though it was her own personal purchase, assuring her clients are very well taken care of. If I were working on my own house, I certainly would have Kaylan do it !
Kaylan is extremely easy to work with, and has fantastic taste. Her ability to understand a customer's point of view (or lack thereof) and work within it is very unique. She makes working together feel like working with an old friend, who is an extremely knowledgable designer! We only had one hiccup with a manufacturer that was outside of Kaylan's control, and she liased for us and handled the situation perfectly. Kaylan is a great option for an interior designer in Chicago!
I used Kaylan of Olive Juice Interior Design to help with paint/wallpaper choices and concepts for my new home. Her ideas were fun, beautiful and creative. Instead of going with some very safe options, Kaylan had fresh new ideas that have really brought our house to life. I'm so grateful for her advice- we get so many compliments!
Kaylan helped make our new condo feel like home. She came up with a design board that matched our budget and taste and used great vendors (painter, carpenter and work room) to complete the project. She was very quick to step in and correct any issues that popped up along the way (fabric arrived damaged and the wrong item was shipped by a furniture store--neither were her fault but she quickly handled everything for me). Kaylan is a pleasure to work with, is budget conscious and has beautiful taste. I look forward to hiring her for another project soon!
We're first time home-owners and are finally graduating from all of the hand-me-downs that we have received over the years. Kaylan has been an angel for us as we finally make investments into furniture to decorate our real home! She helped us plan and execute a banquette for a dining area (for which we have received countless compliments) and gave us so many fresh ideas that completely fit within our style and budget. I can't wait to continue to work with her through other areas in our house (we already have an awesome plan in place for the powder room). Thank you Kaylan for being so much fun, creative, patient, and organized!!!
It was difficult for me to articulate the vision , or possibly lack thereof, we had for our downstairs but somehow Kaylan was able to extract what we were going for and completely knock it out of the park. The attention to detail and finishes of each room are exceptional. Outside of design, she has a very bubbly, easy going personality which made the whole process less stressful and fun! I ve worked with designers in the past and had great experiences but if you re looking for the best interior designer in Chicago, call Kaylan :)
Kaylan Kane has an amazing eye for design. As someone who also works in the interior design trade I'm constantly in awe of how Kaylan pulls together a room effortlessly in such a unique and timeless way. Her sense of color, scale and style is simply inspiring. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also a joy to be around.
