Robert van Buskirk Designs

What can I say? You have to see his work to understand the 5 stars! Robert has vision, he can see things where nothing exists, and his use of fabrics and colors is second to none. While the work he has done for me has been on an old, historic home, he also has worked on modern homes as well, all with the same amazing results.
While some of his ideas seem outlandish «What do you think of burlap and velvet curtains?,» Huh? Who would put those two fabrics together? Of course Robert did and the resultant draperies are amazing.
Robert’s work has been featured in several national magazines and while his prices are not for the faint of heart– he is accommodating for almost any budget level. His workload is such that his minimum size project is a room– so this is not the person to call when you need a new sofa or chair.
He takes personal pride in what he does– right down to being at the site for furniture delivery or consulting with the painter on what glaze to use to get just the right look. Depending on the client– he will go to the Mart with you shopping or pick it out along with the corresponding fabrics and meet with you in your home.
While this business is located in St. Charles, Robert van Buskirk designs does cover the Chicagoland area. One of the nicest things is given that his organization is small, Robert is the person that you are doing business with versus some other design firms where you pay for the principal but deal with the underlings.
I have worked with Robert for over 6 years and have recommended him to friends all over the area. Not only is he a great interior designer– he’s also a great guy to do business with.
