Meet Dara, Owner & Principal Designer

Dara Agruss is passionate about helping her clients see their vision come to life through gorgeous, unique, and livable designs. A mother of two young children and former classroom teacher, she realizes the importance of both beauty and function to make sure that her curated designs and furnishings cater to you, your style, and your daily life.

Our Five-Step Design System

At Dara Agruss Design, our professionals have developed a five-step process to help you bring your home or business from design to fruition. Here’s how it works.

1. Initial Consultation

We will arrange your first meeting either at our interior design studio or via a Zoom link. Here we will discuss the information you provided on your questionnaire, and we’ll ask you questions to enhance our impression of your goals, lifestyle, and creative inspirations.

2. Design Concept and Development

Our team of design professionals will take the information that you provided and conceptualize two fantastic design boards. Because we now have an extensive understanding of your interior design vision, these boards should be close to the mark.

3. Selections

Once you’ve made your modifications and approved the design improvement, you will choose fabrics and materials from various samples, which are included in the cost. Our design professionals will advise you on which textures and colors work best with different rooms and themes.

4. Installation, Placement, and Cleanup

In addition to the quality work and style guidance we provide, one of the advantages of professional design services is that we do all of the heavy lifting. We will oversee the delivery, assembly, and placement of the furniture. We will also place art and accessories for maximum effect. And, of course, we will clean the area to make it ready to show, which leads us to the next step…

5. The Reveal

Your interior design is complete, and we’re ready to show you the job we did. You will enter a fully functional room or set of rooms that are designed according to your tastes and preferences.

Our Burr Ridge Design Services

Our Chicago-area interior design studio is committed to providing our clients with top-quality advice and execution, no matter the size of the house or budget.

We have three pricing levels to accommodate different projects.

The Styling Package

If you have a room or rooms that are partially furnished or decorated, but you need an interior designer to come in and tie it all together, this might be the best project level for you. This package includes the following:

A one-on-one consultation with a designer
Two design boards based on your specifications
Materials and swatches so you can customize your space even further.

Dara will create your look with lighting, an area rug, window treatments, wall paint or wallpaper, and they will assist with accessory placement.

The One-Room Makeover Package

One of the most popular services we offer, this project includes:

A one-on-one in-person consultation where we will also measure your space
A designer floor plan
Two design boards created by a designer
Delivery, assembly, and installation oversight at your location

Our designers will assist you with the furniture, area rug, wall covering, window treatment, art, and lighting selections. Dara will finalize the position of all art and accessories as part of your project as well.

Full-Service Interior Design

If you have a more ambitious plan and a larger budget, this plan is ideal for full remodeling endeavors. Once we are hired, our team will begin creating the look and feel that you’re seeking. No request is too large or small with these projects. If you have a full remodeling project in mind, the Full-Service Interior Design Project is for you.

What Our Clients Say

- Erin L.

Dara was wonderful to work with on my home design project. She helped transform my entry, living and dining areas into the beautiful spaces I have wanted since moving into my home four years ago. The design process has always felt very overwhelming and stressful (i.e. fear of picking the wrong design, furniture, size, paint color, etc.). Having a kind professional like Dara to learn my preferred styles, offer multiple design ideas, and narrow down everything from the large furniture items to pretty accessories was a HUGE help for me. I love my new spaces and now look forward to future design projects. I would recommend Dara’s services to anyone looking for help with design projects big and small!

- Remy S.

I am absolutely thrilled with the transformation that Dara Agruss Design orchestrated for my home. Dara's design choices were truly remarkable. Each element was thoughtfully curated, resulting in a harmonious and cohesive aesthetic that perfectly balances modern elegance with timeless charm. What truly set this experience apart was Dara's exceptional communication skills. She listened attentively to my preferences, desires, and even the smallest of details that were important to me. Moreover, Dara's intuitive understanding of my style was uncanny. She effortlessly grasped the essence of what I envisioned, even when I struggled to put it into words. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dara Agruss Design to anyone seeking a design experience that is nothing short of exceptional.

- Daniel S.

When I had no clue where to start with redesigning my home, I reached out to Dara and was immediately put at ease. Dara's professionalism, creativity, and warm demeanor made every interaction a pleasure. She listened to my ideas and budget constraints, crafting a modern and affordable vision that I fell in love with. What I was most impressed with in working with Dara was her ability to marry style and affordability. She sourced cost-effective materials without sacrificing quality, creating a home that exceeded what I even thought was possible. They made the renovation journey enjoyable, stress-free, and collaborative which I am beyond appreciative of. Dara and her team are simply the magic wand you need for your renovation dreams. I can't thank them enough for their expertise and dedication, and am hopeful I have another project for them soon!
