What We Do
Services built around how you actually live.
Three connected disciplines — interior design, bathrooms & outdoor living, and decor coordination — delivered as one project, one point of contact, one cohesive result.
Every room, considered as one home.
Kitchens, living rooms, home offices, children's rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms — we design the layout, finishes, lighting, furniture, and styling together, so nothing feels bolted on after the fact.
- — Space planning & furniture layout
- — Material, finish & color palettes
- — Lighting design (ambient, task & accent)
- — Furniture selection & styling
Private retreats, indoors and out.
Distinctive bathrooms with thoughtfully selected fixtures — including premium brands such as Kohler — plus porches, patios, and gardens designed as genuine outdoor rooms, not an afterthought off the back door.
- — Spa-style bathroom design & fixture selection
- — Patios, pergolas & outdoor lounges
- — Landscape-adjacent garden styling
- — Outdoor lighting & fire features
Fixture availability, including Kohler selections, may vary by supplier and lead time.
The details that make it feel finished.
Seasonal and wedding décor, custom handmade details, sourcing, and a connected path to qualified trade professionals when your project needs licensed plumbing or electrical work.
- — Seasonal & event styling (see Celebrations)
- — Custom, handmade signature details
- — Material & furnishing sourcing
- — Coordination with licensed, insured trades
How Budget-Conscious Luxury Works
Where the savings actually come from.
Luxury Design. Smarter Project Costs.
Beautiful, high-end design doesn’t have to come with excessive renovation costs.
M&Z Design combines thoughtful design, practical construction planning, and smart sourcing to create elevated spaces while keeping the overall project budget in mind.
We source new materials, fixtures and décor through trusted vendors, trade opportunities, outlets and carefully selected marketplace listings — helping clients access quality products at more competitive prices.
Availability and savings vary by brand, product and project. Applies to selected products only — not to whole-renovation costs or labor.
Strategic material sourcing
We know where to spend on a statement material and where a smart alternative reads just as well.
Licensed, insured trade partners
Plumbing and electrical work is coordinated with vetted independent professionals — priced for the scope, not a markup on staff you don't need.
One coordinated plan
Design and trade work move on the same schedule, which avoids the rework and delays that quietly inflate a budget.
M&Z Design Chicago
From Overlooked to Extraordinary.
We transform tired spaces into refined, welcoming homes through thoughtful design and carefully chosen details.
Your vision can be brought to life by one of our trusted construction partners. Choose the approach that suits your project and budget: a more affordable option with coordinated subcontractors, or a full-service contractor who manages the complete renovation, including plumbing and electrical work. If your preferred partner is unavailable, we can introduce another qualified team.
Your first project estimate is complimentary. Additional estimates are available for a fee, disclosed in advance.
Motion
Designed for Beauty. Engineered for Life.
At M&Z Design Chicago, every project is carefully developed in collaboration with experienced contractors, addressing existing conditions such as moisture, ventilation, durability, and installation requirements. We select materials not only for their beauty, but also for their performance in each environment — from residential interiors and luxury hospitality spaces to outdoor terraces exposed to heat, freezing temperatures, wind, and humidity.
Let's scope your project.
