One Designer’s Take on Elevated Remodels.

When renovating a home, lighting plays a pivotal role in redefining ambiance, accentuating architectural features, and infusing spaces with a renewed sense of character. That’s why Chicago-based Jamie Schachtel Design Group consistently relies on Hammerton lighting to breathe new life into existing spaces. Step inside three distinctive midwestern remodels, where artisan-crafted illumination complements Schachtel’s refined, timeless style.

1.Fort Sheridan Remodel: Aiming to create a clean glamorous look, the design team transformed this Highland Park, IL kitchen and bath by marrying earthy tones with eye-catching focal points and sleek modern lines.

2.Historical Update: The team at Jamie Schachtel Design Group beautifully conceived this vintage restoration by acknowledging the specific requirements needed to honor the home’s original architecture while thoughtfully incorporating contemporary details. Their inspired mix of traditional wood paneling paired with brushed gold accents and white stone gave new life to this storied Evanston, IL residence.

3.Kenilworth La Vie En Rose: Built in the 1930’s, this modern French-inspired home was updated with elements including antique mirrors, textured materials, brass details, and a chic monochromatic color scheme, creating an aesthetic that nods to the nostalgic romance of Paris, France.

With deep expertise in elevated design, Jamie Schachtel and Hammerton Studio go hand in hand.
