About Our Chicago-Based Interior Design Company
Founded by Sarah Kuchar-Parkinson in 2016, Kuchar is a concept-to-completion interior design studio that specializes in commercial, residential, and hospitality projects. Based in Chicago with award-winning projects around the globe, we bring cutting-edge, cross-vertical perspectives to the design table by staying curious and breaking with convention.
We believe that any space can be extraordinary and that everyone deserves visionary design. By thinking in terms of possibilities and leaning into collaboration, we are able to execute down to the smallest detail. And because we’ve been embedded in the design scene for 20+ years, our experience and relationships with world-class brands, vendors, and niche craftspeople mean our clients have access to limitless products and a network of tremendous talent.
We take great pride in being a boutique studio that’s approachable and curious. Not only are our designers inquisitive about scope, space planning, and material selections, but also about really getting to know our clients’ hopes and dreams for how they want to live, work, and thrive. Be it a branded showroom, a sprawling single-family home, or a restaurant with a heightened concept, our studio is a place where ideas flow freely — where listening informs form and function and leads to life-enhancing design.
Some of Our Chicago Interior Design Projects
Design is not simply a finished product, but rather a process that takes early ideas and visions and makes them reality. From the early moments of wanting a new look for your business or building the home of your dreams, through to the final touches at the end of construction, Kuchar provides a curated process designed to fit your goals and vision.
Are you a business owner looking at a new location or a refresh of your existing one? Are you looking at ways to stand out from your competition? Maybe you are planning for a new home or renovation and want a space that shows off your unique style? Allow our interior design company to help guide that process of design for you and your space!
Take a look at some of our favorite projects!
Amsterdam Financial Firm
This company consulted our Chicago interior design services to breathe new life into their office. For Amsterdam Financial Firm, we took inspiration from Amsterdam’s famous local artwork, weaving elements from key pieces into our designs. This included incorporating Girl with a Pearl Earring into our conference room lighting, and using the color palette from Van Gogh’s 1887 self-portrait for the building’s café.
Amsterdam’s beautiful architecture wasn’t lost on us during our journeys through the city, and we took inspiration from the colorful tiled doorways, the brick archways of the canal bridges, and the diverse shapes of the famed canal homes. Our interior design firm then used these sources of inspiration to craft the wall textures of the conference center, the bright tiles of the restrooms, and the overall architectural language of the space.
Alice & Wonder
Another Chicago, Illinois interior design project we absolutely love Alice & Wonder. Our goal was to make the space feel fresh, feminine, and evaluated, which we accomplished by using a color palette consisting of white with pops of pink and teal. We also used warm woods to complete the look.
This new location was focused on highlighting the beautiful clothing pieces the company offers, and we accomplished this by using a mix of stationary and mobile merchandisers. The final look welcomes customers and keeps them wanting to see more of the store.
Scandinavian Spaces
For this project, our interior design firm worked with furniture company Scandinavian Spaces to craft a showroom that would effectively display their products, match their brand identity, and encourage the Swedish concept of “fika,” the idea that one should sit and stay while conversing over a coffee and pastry.
We were inspired to look back to the company’s roots, leading to incorporate tile detail alongside raw columns, reminiscent of the Stockholm train stations. Along with this, the tranquil ceiling color paired with their playful furniture helps to foster a positive and mood-boosting effect for guests. Our Chicago interior design company’s goal was to craft the showroom so that it would blend forms and mix materials to push boundaries, much like the furniture of the company itself.
While some of our favorite interior design projects were in Chicago, we have also worked in a variety of cities, including those in New York, California, and around the world. No matter where you’re located, we’d love to speak with you!
