A BOUTIQUE APPROACH

Jason Smith leads Violet Grace Interiors, a Hinsdale-based design-build firm offering a seamless approach to residential design and construction. By uniting design and installation under one roof, the firm delivers highly personalized spaces defined by thoughtful detail, artisan materials, and a refined sense of livability.

You handle both design and construction under one roof. How does that model change the experience for the homeowner?
The gap between a designer’s vision and a contractor’s reality is where things can fall apart. By keeping the entire process internal, we stop the finger pointing and become your single point of accountability for everything, from the initial design to the final installation.

You limit the number of projects you take on each year. In a world of volume-based firms, why stay boutique?
You simply cannot mass produce excellence. Our clients choose us because they want a guided, attentive process. Fewer projects means better design, better communication, and results that feel thoughtfully tailored to each family we serve.

You are bringing the resources of The Mart directly to Hinsdale. What can clients expect to find in the new studio?
Our clients in Hinsdale appreciate exceptional design, but don’t want to travel downtown to get it. We have curated a library of artisan materials similar to what you would find at Merchandise Mart. It gives our clients exclusive access to those top tier materials right here in the neighborhood.
