Outline Interiors doesn’t just design homes, it also creates moments of joy for their clients and anyone who enters their spaces. Founder Laura Tribbett earned her stripes at several AD100 firms in New York before launching her Windy City firm in 2015. The studio specializes in modern, tailored, and comfortable style, and isn’t afraid to go bold, whether it’s adding plaid wallpaper to an office or installing dramatic black cabinets in a modern kitchen.

Tribbett and her team collaborate with a trusted and talented roster of architects, contractors, and vendors to execute their vision, and the firm carefully manages each stage of the process–even helping clients shop for a home or start a new build.
