Description:

This Lincoln Park home is a vibrant celebration of color, texture, and personality. Designed for a creative and art-loving family, each space was approached with an open mind and a fearless use of pattern. The kitchen anchors the home with a clean, modern aesthetic—custom wood millwork in contrasting stains, brass hardware, and a textured tile backsplash create a warm, timeless foundation. In contrast, the adjacent powder room bursts with charm thanks to whimsical bird-patterned wallpaper, a custom light fixture, and crisp wainscoting.

Working with Outline Interiors was such a fun and collaborative experience. They really got to know our family and created spaces that feel completely us—full of personality, color, and meaning. We love how the kitchen is clean and modern, but still warm and interesting with the custom woodwork and brass details. And then there are the fun moments—like our powder room with its quirky bird wallpaper, or the rainbow tile shower our teenagers adore. Every room has its own vibe, but it all works together. My home office might be my favorite—it's bright, bold, and filled with pieces that feel personal, like a gallery wall of my needlepoint. Once we got a taste of the OI touch on our top two levels, we hired them to do our full basement.”

Behind the scenes with Laura

01

The standout “Rainbow Bathroom” features a custom concrete tile layout that creates a cascading multicolor effect—a joyful design moment crafted for the homeowners’ two teenage children. Equally expressive is the home office, designed for a plastic surgeon with a passion for needlepoint. Framed works of her art are thoughtfully arranged in a gallery wall above a pink sofa, surrounded by fish-patterned wallpaper, bold drapery, and a bespoke light fixture. Every room in this home reflects the family’s love of art, humor, and meaningful detail, resulting in a space that’s as curated as it is playful.
