Design Love | Rooms That Speak to Us

Every home has a story, and the best chapters are written in the rooms you fall head over heels for—the spaces that scream YOU while embracing the magic of thoughtful, innovative design. From cozy sanctuaries to versatile living areas that multitask better than your smartphone, these rooms reflect the personalities of those who call them home – enhanced by our creative solutions and vision.  

In this blog, we’re showing some love to some of our favorite spaces from our portfolio—rooms we’re obsessed with, and our clients can’t stop raving about. Whether you’re hunting for ideas to jazz up your own home or just want to swoon over impactful design, these spaces prove that when creativity meets collaboration, it’s a true fairy tale ending.  

Rooms We Love in Our Client’s Homes

1. A Classic Kind of Love 

Step into a blast from the past with this 1950’s vintage pink kitchen that’s as charming as it is iconic. Nestled in a sweet condo, this studio kitchen belongs to a collector whose passion for all things timeless helped bring this dreamy space to life. It’s a throwback to our roots in kitchen design and a love letter to the timeless romance interiors can create. 

In honor of KBIS, we’re shining a spotlight on this old-school gem that continues to inspire us. Because let’s face it—every home deserves those heart-eyes moments that make your heart flutter every time you step inside. No matter where your home is in its journey, thoughtful design like this proves you can always create magic worth falling for. 

2. Hearth & Soul 

When you think of a romantic space at home, which room comes to mind? For this client, it’s their fireside room—where warmth and ambiance set the stage for relaxation. We transformed this once-overlooked den into an inviting retreat by carefully layering lighting, rich textures, and statement pieces. The result? A space that feels intimate, cozy, and effortlessly welcoming. Every detail is designed to engage the senses, creating a warm and moody atmosphere perfect for unwinding by the fire. 

3. “Love is the greatest refreshment in life” – Pablo Picasso 

As part of our Midcentury Masterpiece in Downers Grove, this garage-turned-speakeasy is serving up cocktails and date-night vibes. Who says garages are just for cars or storage? This swanky escape is the ultimate utilitarian-meets-sophistication hangout. With multiple seating areas and a bar featuring a custom kegerator (because, why not?) and a built-in mirrored bar back, it’s the perfect spot to mix, mingle, and unwind. Layered in deep green and teal hues with luxe velvet and brass accents against rich wood elements, the atmosphere is moody, elevated, and undeniably lovely.  

LOVE Where You Live 

We hope you’ve enjoyed some of our favorite spaces that prove home isn’t just where the heart is; it’s where the WOW is. These unique spaces are proof that thoughtful design can transform everyday spaces into something truly extraordinary—equal parts function, flair, and full-on personality. 

Whether you’re daydreaming about your next project or simply soaking up the inspo, we hope you’ve fallen as hard for these rooms as we have. At TKS, we design spaces that tell your story and spark a little magic every time you walk through the door. Here’s to designing rooms you’ll fall in love with!
