Step inside this art-filled Chicago home that feels serene and stylish

This stunning art-filled home was designed by Outline Interiors and is located in The Residences at St. Regis Chicago, Illinois. The designer removed the builder-grade light fixtures, installed wallcoverings, added custom window treatments, and lacquered the den in a deep navy blue to breathe life into the client’s new condo.

The interior design served as a canvas for the owners’ unique art collection of different mediums by artists Fernand Léger, Lisa Lala, Donald Sultan, Georges Braque, and more. Continue below to see more of this 2,443-square-foot home tour, along with some questions that we asked the designer of this project to gain further insight into the designer/client process. 

What was the client’s vision?

This two-bedroom + Den condo in Chicago’s new Vista Tower (St Regis Residences) was a fun collaboration between Outline Interiors and their amazing clients. Their clients–– who are empty nesters–– downsized from a large single-family home in Lakeview to this modern, chic condo downtown. This transition allowed for the design team to balance the modern lines of the unit’s architecture with the client’s unique artwork, furniture, and accessories sourced from their travels. The modern palette served as a fresh backdrop to their art collection. The client was ready for a more streamlined interior to serve as a clean backdrop to their lively art collection.

What are some of the challenges the designer faced with the project?

Providing directions to vendors, installers, and delivery personnel. The loading dock for the property is on “lower wacker drive” and this caused endless confusion to the point that the Outline Interiors team made a PDF map with directions to share ahead of site visits!

What does the designer love most about the project?

What I love most about the unit is how we were able to make our client’s artwork collection and their beautiful city views the focal point. The furnishings are calm, layered, and sophisticated and don’t compete with the art – they celebrate it. This was our client’s vision as they transitioned from a spacious traditional single-family home to an ultra-modern downtown condo.

What We Love: This light and airy condo is filled with stylish details and beautiful artwork. Large windows help to frame the city views providing idyllic living quarters for city dwellers. The open layout enhances the sense of space, making it perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing in the heart of the city. We love the refined details throughout the home and how the designer carefully considered every element to create a cohesive and sophisticated space.
