What bb Interiors does

bb Interiors is a privately held residential interior design firm founded in 2009 by Claudia Beebe and headquartered in Geneva, Illinois. The company provides full-service transitional interior design, blending traditional and contemporary aesthetics for affluent homeowners in the Fox Valley and Naperville corridor of the Chicago western suburbs. Service offerings include room redesigns, kitchen and bathroom remodels, furniture selection, custom drapery and upholstery, finish consultations, and custom reupholstery, delivered through booked in-person consultations.

The business operates a co-located retail boutique and showroom at 600 S 1st St in downtown Geneva, which retails luxury home furnishings, lighting, mirrors, accessories, tableware, glassware, and gifts from artisan vendors, while also serving as the physical touchpoint for design consultations. A differentiated material asset is the firm's fabric, wallpaper, and trim library, containing more than 2,700 swatch books sourced from high-end fabric houses. The firm holds an exclusive local retail relationship with Simon Pearce and collaborates with specialty trades such as Past Basket on individual project executions.

bb Interiors generates revenue through two streams: (1) professional design fees for bespoke, project-based residential design engagements, and (2) point-of-sale product transactions through the Geneva showroom. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project following an initial consultation. The team is small (approximately 2-5 designers including Claudia Beebe and Ian Essex), the firm is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment, and the geographic footprint is limited to a single showroom serving the greater Geneva, IL metro area. The company markets primarily through its Squarespace-based website, an active blog, and Instagram, with no third-party distribution channels or marketplace listings.
