Bobbi Packer Designs

Working with Bobbi was an absolute delight. We first connected at a local art festival, where she came across one of our artists' original acrylic paintings. After discussing the project with us, Bobbi expressed her client's interest in seeing the artwork in person. Consequently, we arranged a meeting to showcase the pieces for her client's consideration. Throughout the entire process, Bobbi maintained exceptional professionalism, and her support extended to both our requirements and her client's preferences. Her consistent communication left us thoroughly impressed. We are particularly thrilled that she chooses to work with local artists, which is a major plus for an interior designer. Seeking out unique works created by local artists and small family-owned businesses ensures that the artwork she adds to her projects is truly one-of-a-kind. We wholeheartedly recommend Bobbi to our clients, friends, and loved ones based on our outstanding experience collaborating with her.

We have worked with Bobbi Packer Designs for more than 30 years. Her creativity and eye for design are unparalleled. Her attention to detail, along with her artistic ability, make her unique in the architectural design field. Bobbi successfully takes the client’s vision and enhances it using her own innovate style. She goes above and beyond expectations to meet the client’s every need and the result is nothing short of spectacular!

After completing a major addition on our Highland Park home we were left with some unusual spaces that we tried to fill with furniture. It looked like a hodgepodge of new spaces and old. I doubted it could be remedied. That is when Bobbi Packer came to the resucue. Bobbi spent time looking at the space, measuring and imagining. She listened carefully to our preferences and what we hoped to achieve. That is one of Bobbi's unique talents. She is able to merge the clients needs and lifestyle with her own extaordinary artistic vision. In my case, she knew I loved the outdoors. She kept that in mind as we worked on paint colors, textures, furniture, window treatments, accents and lighting fixtures. She kept to our discussed budget and met our deadlines. The finished product was beautiful, functional, welcoming and completely ours. We our truly enjoying everything she put together for us.

I first met Bobbi Packer 35 years ago when she was recommended by a showroom at the Mart. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I were so happy with the outcome. She is very pleasant to be with and has a great knowledge of design. We wanted to be involved and she was totally accepting of our thoughts and what was really important was her understanding of our budget and needs. We had never worked with a designer before and were thrilled with the whole process. She made it very easy. She can design all styles...isn’t stuck in just one way or just her way. I worked with Bobbi again about 6 years ago in a new home. Her sense of design is beautiful. She did custom work for me ... a cabinet and wall shelves. Very unusual yet functional. I highly recommend Bobbi for the smallest of projects to building you a new home.

Working with Bobbi Packer will end up with your loving whatever she has done. She can envision and plan the space. She will work with you,; learn what you like; shop with you; and also look for things and bring them to you. She can work with what you want to keep and/or what you want new. And when it's time she comes up with the best paint colors or wall coverings that pull everything together. She also designed some furniture pieces for us that are very special. AND, Bobbi is a lovely and delightful person to work with. We can't recommend her highly enough.

My wife and I have been working with Bobbi for many years since we built our own home, On top of being probably the nicest person in the whole work, she is an incredible interior designer with wonderful taste. Additionally, she tried to stay within our budget and if there were any issues with anything we received or with any of the workmen involved with her projects, Bobbi would be quick to remedy any problems. I would highly recommend Bobbi!

I met Bobbi at her first house renovation and my first Real Estate job in Lincoln Park 25 years ago. I was so impressed with her creativity, ability to figure out what I wanted even when I wasn't sure, bringing or recommending precise contractors and workman for each job and the ability to patiently take control. We started with my first townhouse which she designed and worked with my developer to build. Despite the fact that we were limited on space, she was able to design the layout in a manner that everything I wanted worked. After working with her on my house the developer had her do models, lobbies, hallways, etc. in several of his developments. Many of these had time deadlines which were promptly met. Bobbi designed and furnished my condo in Chicago, my country house in Union Pier, Michigan, and my present home in Palm Springs. Much of the furniture originally selected as well as her custom designed furniture has been moved and fit beautifully into my different homes. I obviously love working with her and cannot imagine working with anyone else. She is incredible in her knowledge, creativity and is very upbeat. I hope you are lucky enough to work with her.

I’ve done 4 projects with Bobbi Packer Designs ,3 we’re stores of mine another my duplex apartment.my husband and we’re thrilled with what she had done, Bobbi had done all the design work and was the the contractor for these projects.It was though all my dreams came true !!!

If you’re looking for the standard HGTV designer, Bobbi Packer, isn’t for you, but if you’re looking for a timeless transformation that you can actually live it work in, there’s no one better than Bobbi Packer. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bobbi and her team on multiple projects. From renovating a master bathroom in 2007 to reconfiguring, renovating and furnishing an entire condo in 2017. She starts with getting to know you, understanding how you live, and what you like. Then she uses her unique blend of taste, style, utility, and experience to flawlessly execute the idea. I’ve come to Bobbi unsure about major decisions. Her prescription is almost surgical. One example, “I’m racking my brain on what color for floor stain, what should I do?”, then Bobbi a few seconds later “with opening up the kitchen it really does make it the centerpiece of the house, so let’s take the color tones of the cabinets, flip the ratios and do that for the stain. That way it reinforces the kitchen connecting the home”. She literally erased 3 weeks of anxiety about what stain as if she was just snapping her fingers. I had a friend who renovated their entire townhouse with Bobbi for the purpose of selling it. He put it on the market at the highest price the complex had ever seen. Ended up closing 30 days after he listed it, at $60k above list price. I’m sure there are many great designers in Chicago, but they don’t hold a candle to Bobbi and her team.

If you ever want to meet a designer that has it all, Bobbi Packer is the one for you. She is a combination of architect, electrical contractor, plumber, wood floor expert, cabinet designer and interior designer. It is extremely difficult to find all these extraordinary qualities in one person. In fact she is prominent in the design world and her work has appeared in many magazines Bobbi was with us for two projects. No matter what we thought we wanted to do, Bobbi would gently guide us in the right direction to make sure the end result was perfect. I am a hands-on person and Bobbi encouraged me to be part of the process to find furniture and fabrics. She valued my input but I trusted Bobbi’s choices over mine. Her sense of color, style, and understanding a room's spatial needs enhanced the beauty of our apartment. Every guest who enters our apartment says, “this apartment is gorgeous…who was your interior designer.? My husband and I were very pleased with the results she accomplished!! She has a delightful personality, takes seriously the wishes, needs and desires of her clients, and I would highly recommend her now and always.

My husband and I moved our outdated furnishings into our new condominium. Bobbi Packer had several in-depth conversations concerning our decorating style. She scouted out numerous potential furniture choices and accompanied us to view each selection. Bobbi contributes a strong sense of color, style, space as well as numerous contacts with carpenters and painters who serve to create a comfortable home oasis.

Bobbi Packer has been my designer for the last thirty years doing two of my houses, and continuous updates, like the amazing job she did incorporating my husbands dental collection into a room design, Her firm is talented, friendly, helpful, reliable and current in today’s trends, No request on my part is ever denigned. I love her work and would never use anyone else.
