About Cindy Bardes Galvin
With a background in historical art and design, Cindy Bardes Galvin, founder of Bardes Interiors, designs for clients across the country. Her full-service interior architecture and design firm specializes in high-end residential projects from ground-up builds to full-scale renovation and restoration of historic properties. Her aesthetic is classic, timeless with a refined sense of color and form.
For each client, the team at Bardes Interiors designs a home that reflects the owner’s interests and style, while honoring the building’s architecture and creating rooms of warmth and beauty. “I’ve lived and worked in everything from very traditional homes to ultra-modern high rises,” Cindy says. “And with many clients, we’ve worked together on multiple homes over the years and built real friendships.”
Developing great relationships also extends to working with a tight-knit team of contractors and craftsman in her base in Palm Beach, Chicago and elsewhere. Having a team that can execute design ideas with flawless attention to detail is crucial to each project’s ultimate success in creating a home that works as perfectly as it looks.
Her finished projects have been featured in publications nationwide, including Luxe, Interiors Chicago, and Mountain Living. In addition to her residential and commercial work, Cindy is also the founder of MAZE Home in Winnetka, Illinois, a go-to home and gift retail destination that has allowed her to assemble a carefully edited collection of D. Porthault linens, antiques and one-of-a-kind furnishings and objects.
