Before you talk to a Chicago, IL professional, consider how you will use the room. For a bathroom, is it necessary to have a bathtub for bathing kids or pets, or do you prefer just a shower? Perhaps all you need is a half bath for downstairs or a smaller guest bath off a guest room. Similarly, for kitchen renovations consider your cooking habits. Do you eat out every night but need a space to entertain in? If so, a smaller kitchen might be fine for you, with a space devoted to wine storage or a bar, whereas others might prefer a bigger stove or extra cabinets. When interviewing kitchen and bath designers, make sure to share these habits so they can best fit the room to suit your needs.
