September Designer of the Month: Interiors by Mary Susan – LaGrange, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge & More!

Each month, DeSitter chooses one of our very special designers to be our designer of the month. We introduce them to our customers with a little background information about them, some design tips/advice directly from the designer and some images that showcase their work. For the month of September, we are proud to honor Mary Susan from Interiors by Mary Susan!

Interiors by Mary Susan began twenty five years ago this month.  It has been quite a journey.  I have designed homes from coast to coast including three in Hawaii and two in France.  I was involved with the Ronald McDonald home at Loyola as well as the Constance Morris Home in LaGrange.  In addition, I have designed candy and card shops, restaurants and private businesses.  My design journey has been an honor and a privilege.  I still get excited over remaking just one room.  Designing hundreds of kitchens and bathrooms has often brought me to a DeSitter showroom.

My relationship with DeSitter began over 15 years ago.  I was having carpet installed in a 10,000 sq ft home when, for personal reasons, the installer decided to quit that day.  The carpet was all cut up and my client’s home was in complete disarray.  I reached out to Steve DeSitter, one of the owners of DeSitter Flooring, located in the same town as my business.  DeSitter saved the day and that was the beginning of what has now become a long-term, professional relationship.

Steve and Tom have a reliable professional business that is supportive of both the community and designers.

Below you will see some examples of DeSitter flooring that I have incorporated in my design work over the years.

Mary Susan’s Top 10 Design Tips!

  1. Go big or go home.  Always error on a larger size with chandeliers, artwork and tile!  Also, fewer larger accessories that look important are better than a lot of clutter.
  2. There can be only so many divas in a room. Everything cannot be the star!
  3. Choose colors YOU love and not necessarily what is trending. I promise you it is all a cycle.
  4. Remember scale!  Scale is so important when selecting furnishings for a space.  Two 84” sofas can be completely different in scale because of style, yet the exact same size.
  5. Stick with live or simple faux plants. Orchid’s rock.
  6. Drapery mounted near a ceiling, when applicable, looks opulent and adds height to any room.
  7. Remember rooms need to breathe. Just like you! Do not feel you have to fill every corner.
  8. Bookcases and mantels need special attention. To me, there is nothing like thoughtfully placed books.
  9. Spend money on good lamps and fine art and less on upholstery to elevate the look of a room.
  10. The result of beautiful spaces that spill into one another is because they have just enough continuity to pull them together and just enough contrast to make them independently interesting.

Customer Reviews – Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Wheaton, LaGrange, Hinsdale, Western Springs & MORE!

reviews

Let’s be honest…nowadays, it’s sometimes difficult to find a company that genuinely cares about their customers and provides the best customer service possible. We hear so many horror stories about people dealing with outrageous pricing, rude and pushy sales associates, poor quality products, terrible customer service, and so on and so forth. We get it, it’s hard to trust a company that you don’t know, let alone the staff members. Most often, people use family and friend referrals for new companies to use for certain services that individuals need.

DeSitter understands this and that is why we are very open and honest about the feedback we receive. ALL of our reviews our visible to the consumer on our website. Yes, you read that right. ALL of them. That means you can see the good and the bad. We don’t try and pretend that we are perfect. We are a company run by people and by our human nature, we sometimes make mistakes. There truly is no perfect business or person out there. However, we feel that if we lay it all out on the line for customers to see, the positive and negative reviews, that you will see we are not trying to trick anyone and we are simply showing you what we have to offer. By seeing the good reviews posted, you know right away the positive characteristics that the DeSitter name and teams are associated with. By seeing the not-so-good reviews, you can see that we do sometimes make mistakes, but that we always find a way to work with the customer to admit our faults, remedy the situation and make it a point to show our side of the situation. There are always two sides of a story and to be honest, there will always be some individuals that only divulge their side of things and not show the whole truth. The fact that we respond to each and every review, you can see the sticky situations and how they were handled by our business and the consumer.

We trust that putting these reviews on our site and allowing the public to see each review and response, that we can be very honest with our customers and show them the reasons why they should choose DeSitter for their flooring needs. We have been in business since 1920 and if we would have saved all the reviews since we opened, well, you’d practically have a complete volume of books to go through! Unfortunately, we have only started the review system about a year ago, but in that time, over 350 customers have decided to leave their comments for all to see. We’re proud to be Chicago’s best reviewed Flooring Store and hope you’ll see for yourself!

Celebrate our 96th Anniversary with us! – Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, LaGrange, Hinsdale & More!

DeSitter was founded in 1920 by a gentleman by the name of Louis DeSitter. Mr DeSitter traveled to the United States from Belgium to pursue a better life. His vision was to start a company that would provide the finest quality flooring materials and installations for both homeowners and businesses throughout Chicago. Mr. DeSitter did just that! 96 years later, Mr. DeSitter’s vision is carried on by his two grandsons, third generation co-owners Tom Cunningham and Steve DeSitter.

DeSitter Flooring has grown into a flourishing business that consists of 3 residential showrooms (1 N. Kensington and 301 W. Hillgrove in LaGrange and 444 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn) and 1 commercial warehouse which is located at 1 Tmber Ct, along with DeSitter’s warehouse and corporate offices.

96 years is a long time to be in business and the DeSitter family and staff cannot wait to make it 96 more!

Celebrate with us by Saving Big during our Anniversary Sale.

February’s Designer of the Month – On Cloud Desi9n – LaGrange, Hinsdale, Western Springs, Lisle & More

Each month, DeSitter recognizes a different interior designer to be their Designer of the Month. These designers have shown amazing talent in their work and have the ability to work very well with customers to help them choose the best interior design for their homes. Most of our designers do not only focus on flooring but a variety of different aspects of one’s home decor.

This month, we have chosen to recognize Bonnie Gonsior from On Cloud Desi9n! Bonnie’s motto is “The heart of my design philosophy is to create an uplifting environment that will leave you on “Cloud 9!” 

A message from Bonnie:

bonnieg

“Hi there, I’m Bonnie! I’m the designer behind On Cloud Desi9n. I have a B.F.A. in Interior Design from Harrington in Chicago and have gained experience in both residential and hospitality design.

On Cloud Desi9n offers the full-scale of interior design services from affordable to high-end; from targeted uplifts to complex remodels. With an innate ability to pull together a multitude of varied details into one harmonious final result, I believe in working hand-in-hand with each client to create a space that is truly their own. “

 

While we have some of the best sales associates and craftsmen for our installations, we cannot give full interior design service as we don’t specialize in things other than flooring. Of course, we can help you select products that will work with your design tastes and with the design items that you show us. However, when our customers need a full service design company, we recommend our designers, often the ones featured as our designers  of the month!

Please feel free to contact Bonnie for any design needs that you may have and let her know DeSitter sent you!

How to Choose an Area Rug – LaGrange, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge, Western Springs & MORE

12095283_1037902439573758_6547823834831899946_o

You’re interested in purchasing an Area Rug for your home but what’s the best way to do so?

First, you need to decide if the Area Rug is to serve as the focal point of the room or if it is to be used more as an accent to your room’s decor. It truly does make a difference! If it’s to be the main design piece of the room, you will have to coordinate all of your other decor around the rug. If it is to be an accent to your room’s decor, then you have to make sure the color or design balances with everything else in the room and helps accent it.

Next, you need to decide what size Area Rug you need. This can be a little tricky because some people like it differently than others. It’s YOUR Area Rug and YOUR room, so feel free to choose what you feel looks best! If you’re interested in what the “rules of thumb” generally are for Area Rug sizes, this is what is often said:

  • For dining rooms, it’s recommended to have the Area Rug be large enough to not only hold the table, but to accommodate the chairs as well.
  • For hallway runners, it’s recommended to have at least 6 inches of flooring shown on each side of the runner.
  • In general, it’s recommended to have the Area Rug be 2 feet shorter than the shortest wall in the room.
  • In large rooms, a general rule is to have about 18 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the perimeter walls.
  • In smaller rooms, the general rule is to have about 8 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the perimeter walls.
  • For bedrooms, you can either have 12-18 shown of the rug on the sides and foot of the bed OR you can simply have a smaller rug (same width as that of the bed) at the foot of the bed. You can even have runners on each side of the bed (and at the foot of the bed too!), if you’d like.
  • In larger rooms, you can have one large rug OR you can also coordinate two or more rugs together and have them all in the same room

If you do research on how to select an Area Rug, you are going to come across a ton of different “general rules” and “rules of thumb” and read all sorts of different opinions on the Do’s or Don’ts. You simply need to keep in mind that there will never be a right or wrong answer, just an opinion and a preference. Feel free to bend or break the rules.

Make your space YOURS! Get creative, step out of your comfort one, introduce colors to your rooms, and have fun with your interior design!
