ABOUT SCHNABEL INTERIORS
Where big firm experience meets boutique studio attention
Schnabel Interiors is, at its heart, a family affair. After leading their own successful, decades-long interior design firms, Jennifer Schnabel and her daughter, Jenna Schnabel Wedemeyer, realized the joy and impact that come from working together.
Their combined experience, complementary personalities, and shared passion for design foster an environment that clients find collaborative, focused, and fun.
That's our promise.
Kind Words
"As an Architect, I have had a professional relationship with Schnabel Interiors for the last 30+ years. We have collaborated on custom residential, high-rise penthouses, vacation homes, as well as commercial projects. Schnabel Interiors continues to be one of my top choices when I know our client is looking for something special."

Jennifer Schnabel
Principal Designer
Jenny Schnabel is an internationally-recognized designer who has built her peerless reputation over several decades. Kind and gracious, she elevates her clients' tastes and serves as a trusted confidant.

To Jenny, family is everything. She enjoys spending time in her second home in the Bahamas with her children, grandchildren, and precious dog, Tuck.
Jenna Schnabel Wedemeyer
Principal Designer
Jenna Schnabel is Jenny's daughter and an established interior designer in her own right. Jenna began her career in interior design nearly 20 years ago in Chicago. Clients and projects have taken her from Sydney, Australia to Tiburon, CA.
Often described as "down-to-earth," Jenna values candor, transparency, and making the design process enjoyable. Her MBA and previous positions in fashion with luxury brands, Neiman Marcus and Giorgio Armani, influence how she treats the client experience. Years of living in London, studying classical architecture while immersed in the European lifestyle, have further shaped her approach to interiors: timeless yet relevant, deeply intentional, and always enduring.
Jenna is the proud recipient of the City of Chicago Preservation Excellence Award and appointed to the LUXE DESIGN+INTERIORS Gold List. She is the CO-founder of the Chicago-based, Interior Design Peer Alliance and is a founding member of the Lexington Design Collective.
Jenna has two daughters, three rescue dogs, a cat, and a horse, Ernie, with whom she loves to compete in hunter-jumper competitions.
Madeline Mills
Project and Social Media Manager
Maddy has been an instrumental team member of Schnabel Interiors since we opened our doors. Elegant and functional design created through an elevated client experience is our mission. Without someone organizing and executing behind the scenes- placing/tracking orders and keeping projects on schedule, the beauty in what we do would never come to fruition. Maddy’s “can-do” attitude is one of the secrets to our success. In addition, we are thankful for her savvy social media and tech skills.
When not running the office, she is busy crafting, attending church, or wrangling a myriad of animals on her family farm outside Lexington. Most importantly, she is the mother of two precious toddlers.
