Gil Melott Studio is a Chicago-based luxury residential and boutique hospitality interior design practice, recognized by Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, WSJ Magazine, and NYT Styles. For a decade, principal Gil Melott has built authored interiors — homes shaped by vocal luxury, the deliberate layering of texture, era, and personal history, rather than the anonymous “quiet luxury” that dominates high-end design today. Serving Chicago, New York, and select national markets, with expanding reach in the Northeast. Gil Melott has lived multiple lives — ranch hand, ad exec, restaurateur, interior designer. Gil’s design instincts were formed long before his first client. He grew up working a family ranch in Texas, where scale, utility, and material honesty weren’t aesthetic choices — they were how things stayed standing. That grounding shows up in every room he designs today: nothing performative, everything load-bearing.
