Refined Renovations Wins Luxe RED Award for the Laurel Circle Project
We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Refined Renovations has won the prestigious Luxe RED Award for the Greater Chicago region—and our Laurel Circle renovation has earned her laurels once again.This soulful, light-filled renovation captured the hearts of our team—and now, it’s captured a Luxe RED Award too.
This prestigious recognition celebrates the finest in luxury remodeling and design, shining a spotlight on craftsmanship, creativity, and thoughtful design that transforms everyday living into something extraordinary.
What is the Luxe RED Award?
The Luxe RED (Residential Excellence in Design) Award is like the Oscars of the remodeling world—recognizing the very best in residential architecture, interior design, built environments, and landscape architecture projects across the country. It’s all about honoring those spaces where beauty meets function, where every detail tells a story, and where homes don’t just get renovated—they get reborn. Winning this award puts Laurel Circle in a select group of truly inspiring home transformations, and we couldn’t be more proud.
A New Chapter in English-Inspired Design

Laurel Circle started as a home full of potential but needing a fresh vision that balanced timeless elegance with modern comfort. Our client didn’t just want a beautiful kitchen—she wanted a feeling. Something warm and welcoming, with a sense of soul. As we talked through her vision, she kept coming back to memories of her childhood home: the creak of wood floors, the soft patina of age, the way the kitchen always smelled like something good. So we designed a space that honors those roots—an English scullery reimagined for modern family life. Handmade zellige tiles, exposed brass hinges, a wall-mounted sink, and a palette of soft, airy blues wrap the space in the quiet comfort of something deeply familiar.
We approached this project with our signature philosophy—crafted with soul and story—infusing the kitchen with layers of texture, color, natural light, and carefully selected materials that honor the history of an English manor while embracing today’s lifestyle needs.
Why This Award-Winning Renovation Matters
We don’t design homes for magazines—we design them for people. Still, it’s an honor to see our work recognized by Luxe Interiors + Design, one of the most respected voices in the design world. The Luxe RED Award affirms what we already believe: that thoughtful design and custom home renovation can completely transform not just how a space looks, but how it feels to live in.
This project was brought to life by our full-service team—designers, project managers, craftspeople, and cabinetmakers—who worked hand-in-hand with the homeowners to create something truly special.
