Turning your home into a source of joy & excitement.
The place where you live out your day-to-day serves a greater purpose beyond being beautiful. It’s a cozy destination for unwinding and a lively gathering spot for piecing together memorable moments with loved ones. At Meghan Jay Design, it’s humbling to be entrusted to create interiors that bring you happiness and true comfort.

The Meghan Jay Design Mission
What story do you want your home to tell? It’s a question we love to begin with. The answer always sparks deeper conversations, leading to an unfussy creative process as we work towards personal designs that invite feelings of happiness. Whether restoring an old structure to its new glory or bringing historic charm to a new build, the end result should surround you with the things you love and stand as an expression of who your family is.
Whole Home Design
01. THE PRIMARY
When you’re looking to accomplish a complete renewal of your interiors, we’ll be with you the whole way through – from research to design development & drawings as needed, sourcing & selections, project management, installation, and even styling if you desire. We lovingly refer to it as our “soup to nuts” approach.
INQUIRE TODAY
For the all-around experience.
Design Day Sessions
02. THE SECONDARY
Take on a single room or similar limited-scope home endeavor with a Design Day Session. Perfect for establishing a cohesive vision for paint colors, lighting, floor and tile, and textiles. With a three-hour in-person consultation, sketched floor plan(s), design board(s), selection support, and a budget spreadsheet, you'll gather everything you need to make confident choices and personally see your project through to the finish line.

One-on-One Consultations
03. THE TERTIARY
Have a specific design hang-up you’d love to chat through with an interior designer? Get 60 minutes with Meghan, helping you save on costly design faux pas. If you’re local to the greater Chicago area and wish for this to take place in person, your consultation investment could go towards a whole-home design project with MJD.
BOOK YOURS
For the odds and ends.
We wanted to update our home decor, but didn’t want to part with the family treasures we had inherited. Meghan embraced these vintage pieces for their warmth and character and incorporated them into a balanced design with comfortable new furnishings.

Trust the Process
CONVERSING
From the complimentary inquiry call to the virtual or in-person consultation, we’ll engage in open dialogue to understand your preferences and aspirations for your home.
SCHEMING
Drawing inspiration from our conversations, we move into playing with colors, patterns, and textures to create a well-coordinated look & feel – keeping you at the heart of every decision.
APPLYING
Once we establish the design direction, it’s time to turn our best-laid plans into reality. Whether you take it from here or entrust us to oversee all the details, you’ll have the support you need to seamlessly bring everything to life.
All that’s left to do is sit back and take it all in. From comfortable hideaways to striking focal points, every nook and cranny we worked through together is complete and ready to be enjoyed.
ENJOYING
Because You Asked
We understand that cost is an important consideration for any home design project. Therefore, we tailor our pricing to suit your unique needs and the anticipated scope. Let's start the conversation during a complimentary inquiry call. From there, should you wish to pursue a consultation, the investment will depend on whether you’re local and your interest in one of two signature services (whole home design or design day sessions).
We’re based out of Evanston, Illinois. While the majority of our clients reside in the greater Chicago area, we happily take on projects anywhere you are. Get in touch to learn more about our virtual design consultations and completing a whole home project in your area.
While history matters at Meghan Jay Design, we embrace versatility in our projects. No matter the architectural style or design preferences, we’re here to cater to your needs and deliver custom design solutions for your home.
We’d be happy to! It’s one of our favorite things to do. To quote the wise Patsy Stone, “One should never be the oldest thing in one’s house.” Vintage pieces add depth, charm, and a sense of history to your space. In your inquiry, let us know you’re interested in sourcing support, and we’ll walk you through what that could look like.
Our goal is to deliver as unfussy of an experience as possible. To begin, simply contact us via our inquiry form, and we’ll be in touch to schedule your complimentary 20-minute call. During this initial meet and greet, we’ll lay the foundation for the potential collaboration ahead.
