Rooted in history. Designed for the everyday.
Our goal is to help you create beautiful, timeless spaces for you and your family to enjoy for years to come.
The heart behind Aberle Design Co.
Aberle Design Co. was founded in 2018 on a simple belief: love begins at home. Based in the northwest Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, IL, we specialize in designing and restoring historic homes so they work beautifully for modern family life, without losing the character that made you fall for them in the first place.
That means knowing when to preserve and when to rethink. We keep the original millwork and bring back details that were lost or need to be added. Then we fit in the kitchen you can actually cook in, the mudroom your family needs, and baths that function, all so it feels like it has always been there.
Fueled by faith and a devotion to classic, timeless design, we've worked with more than 150 families to create homes that honor their past and hold their future.
Your home is more than just a place. it's the heart of your family's story.
Meet Monica Aberle
Monica is the founder and lead designer of Aberle Design Co. She specializes in historic home design and renovation, and in classic interiors that balance beauty with everyday life.
As both a designer and a mother, Monica understands that a successful home needs to do more than simply look beautiful. Every design decision is guided by how a space will be lived in—creating homes that feel welcoming, practical and deeply personal.
She believes great design should simplify daily life, encourage meaningful connection and evolve alongside the families who live there. By combining thoughtful planning with carefully curated finishes and furnishings, she creates spaces that are elegant without ever feeling untouchable.
Whether you're embarking on a full renovation or looking to transform a single room, Monica is passionate about helping you create a home that feels beautifully considered, genuinely comfortable and uniquely your own.
Principal Designer & Founder
Monica has been so wonderful to work with this past year as she transformed our new house into a home. What started as a small room project quickly turned into a full house design–we kept going back for more ! It’s really hard not to return for more guidance once you see how talented she is in creating beautiful and thoughtfully designed spaces. She is also a joy to work with–very cheerful and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!

Working with Monica saved us tons of time! I had an idea of our preferred style, but didn’t think about things like choosing pieces that were proportional to our space and how to use some of the things we already owned in a way that felt elevated and more cohesive. I’m so grateful for Monica’s eye and attention to detail that helped us make over our primary bedroom and finally make it the beautiful, tranquil place I want to cozy up in at the end of the day.
