Denise has done several designs for me, from a fun, creative basement (which my husband and kids love) to an updated master bath (styled with respect for my mid-century house’s character) and also built in cabinets for my family room. Her designs are thoughtful, elegant and have a unique spin on them. I will hire her again next time I have a project and recommend her highly! ”

“Working with Denise Hauser on a major renovation of my home was an exceptionally positive experience. Denise is the consummate professional. She was consistently organized, creative, thoughtful, friendly and easy to work with, available, and amazingly generous with her time and patience, throughout several months. Although we began with intentions only to redo our kitchen, with her guidance, we realized that additional work would not only enhance the value of our home but also its beauty and our enjoyment of it. Her eye for detail and her ability to create spaces that suited the era and architecture of our old home resulted in beautiful results in several rooms. She was realistic in terms of expectations about timetables, budgets, and challenges. She also had an excellent working relationship with the general contractor whom she recommended (who was also outstanding) and the many people who worked with him. I’d recommend Denise to anyone.”

“Denise is an award winning designer with a personal touch. She has the vision, the creativity and the technical skills to make your dream a reality. With Denise, your project will be designed to YOUR style and your house. I live in a 105 year old house. I wanted a modern kitchen that looked original to the house. I had design challenges of wanting a lot of function from a tight space. Denise spent hours executing that vision with her design skills, her resources, her attention to detail and by using skilled contractors. Now, I have a gorgeous new kitchen that invokes the history of my house, functions beautifully for my lifestyle and is so dreamy that I can’t believe I get to live here. My kitchen is featured in Luxe Home magazine and is on the kitchen walk.
On top of her skills, Denise is fun to work with. Redoing a kitchen, a bath or a house takes time - time you will spend with your designer. Don’t settle for an annoying snob. Choose Denise to get snob-level quality with a down to earth partner. Hire Denise. Have fun. Laugh a lot and live the dream.”

“Denise is an amazing designer! She always has beautiful, detailed and unique designs on how to create a space specifically for her client. She is professional and so fun to work with! Denise designed our kitchen, mudroom and masterbath with flawless, yet sensible execution. We are delighted with the results and couldn’t be happier with how she managed our projects.”
— Matt D. / Palos Park
“Our kitchen redesign was a challenging project because we had a space that initially seemed difficult to build the kind of kitchen we wanted. Denise was able to figure out a way to exceed our requirements within the physical constraints of the space and our budget. She was a joy to work with as we chose finishes and fine tuned the design. During the build-out, Denise was often on-site working with our builder with whom she had a great rapport. The cabinet-makers and furniture-makers she brought to the project were outstanding too. Even after the build was done, Denise went way beyond expectations in addressing a few issues we had (cabinet pull coming loose, appliance that was not working the way we wanted.) And the results are fantastic. We have an awesome space that works really well for our family. You cannot go wrong with Denise Hauser Designs!”

“Denise is an amazing kitchen and bath designer. Her attention to detail and unique design is top notch. She collaborates with the client to give them the design that is best for their lifestyle.

“Denise Hauser is an amazing designer. She has an exceptional eye for detail and goes above the call of duty to ensure that her clients are happy.
My husband and I worked with Denise on our kitchen remodel and we were more than pleased with the results. She is extremely creative and was instrumental in helping us navigate the entire process. She is simply the best!”

“Denise became like a welcome member of our family: I always felt that I could call her with questions or concerns and she would take pains to understand exactly what I wanted and would act immediately upon it. She is the consummate professional, but personable and a great hand holder. She has a wonderfully creative eye and came up with ideas that never would have occurred to me and went beyond every other designer’s suggestions. I love my kitchen, thanks to her, and would not hesitate to use her for any project, any where.”
— Sharron M. / Hinsdale
“We give Denise Hauser our very highest recommendation. From the initial consultation through making the finishing touches perfect, Denise always exceeded all of our expectations. The projects that she did for us were all completed on time, beautiful, within our budget, and smoothly and professionally handled (3 major renovations). Denise became like a member of our family—she listened carefully to everything that we had to say, and she was promptly available to address any concerns or questions that we had.
Denise’s designs captured our vision flawlessly. Her technical skills are matched by her artistic, creative flair. We have seen many of her kitchens on luxury house walks and in magazines, but no two are alike because they reflect the unique needs and personalities of her clients. She is exceedingly talented and deserves all the recognition and awards that she has received.”
—Sherry M. / Hinsdale
“Denise is an amazingly creative dedicated designer who gives 150% to every project. She has an innate talent to see the possibilities of a space. Her kitchens and bathrooms are tailored to each client’s personality and needs. They optimize the room’s functionality and potential. And they’re amazing! She brings years of experience and knowledge of products and design trends to each project. You would think with such right-brain skills that the left-brain details would suffer. Not so. Everything is our kitchen fit perfectly and is still humming along ten years later. She’s a warm and caring person who is a delight to work with. We could not have been happier with the process and our finished kitchen.”
— Mary Jane R. / Barrington
“She’s wonderful - we started working with Denise to redesign our 1980’s Kitchen, and completely renovated our entire first floor. With a central Kitchen plan, the traffic flow and available walls were a serious challenge- and Denise’s new plan works great and looks like it’s always been this way. Combining the Kitchen & Breakfast room creates a large open space that truly function & enhances the adjacent living areas. Using white shaker cabinets with absolute black granite countertops, and the island has mahogany cabinets with a single-slab white macaubas quartzite countertop, it’s simply stunning. The elegant backsplash consists of back-painted grey glass subway tile with an blue-grey artistic leaf pattern feature, which is really cool. And the old ceramic floor tile has been replaced with beautiful wide plank hickory flooring, throughout the first floor- a huge improvement. Overall, we’re very pleased and love our new home!”
