Interiors II

Barbara Lione and Jim Zidlicky joined forces in 1983 to open their Chicago-based design firm, Interiors II. As a team, Barbara and Jim have designed and developed interiors through the United States and abroad. The projects in the U.S. include numerous primary residences in Chicago and its suburbs as well as New York, California and elsewhere. They have also done interiors for second homes on both of Florida's coasts. Nantucket, Vail, Aspen, Sun Valley, Paris the Cote d'Azur in France and Italy.



They create interiors that are appropriate to both the architecture of the residence and the life style and personality of the client. They agree that:

"TRULY GOOD DESIGN PROVES ITSELF WITH STAYING POWER."

While working on interiors having traditional, contemporary or modern themes, they believe in avoiding anything trendy.

"WE TRY TO IMBUE OUR INTERIORS WITH CHARM AND A BIT OF HUMOR."

Attention to detail is of utmost importance. Each room should have one really special "something": it may be a wonderful antique, a marvelous painting or a really great carpet. Good accessories play a role as important as the furniture. Both Barbara and Jim feel that a really wonderful interior grows with time and should accommodate and be comfortable for all members of the household.
