our story.

Welcome.

I’m Liz, founder and lead designer of The Impressed Guest. With more than 15 years of experience in the interior design industry, I bring a thoughtful, creative, and artful approach to homes, businesses, celebrations, and seasonal spaces throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

At The Impressed Guest, we specialize in interior design, holiday trees and styling, seasonal décor, retail storefronts, and event design — all with one goal in mind: creating spaces and experiences that feel beautifully curated, memorable, and entirely your own.

Every detail is selected with intention. From the perfect paint color and finishing touches to a showstopping Christmas tree, a refreshed seasonal entry, a styled storefront, or a design-savvy celebration, our work is rooted in creating the ultimate guest experience. We believe your home, business, and events should not only look beautiful, but also feel inviting, personal, and unforgettable.

Whether you are refreshing your everyday surroundings, preparing for the holidays, styling for the season, or hosting a special event, we would love to help bring your vision to life — and leave your guests with a lasting impression.

Welcome to The Impressed Guest.

We would be honored to bring the ultimate guest experience to you and yours.
