Meet Christin Eggener: Glenview Mom, Interior Designer, and Flooring Expert
Christin Eggener brings style, warmth, and a personal touch to every project she undertakes as the owner of Floor Coverings International (FCI) in Glenview. Combining her design expertise with a deep commitment to exceptional customer experiences, Christin has quickly become a trusted name in the North Shore community for flooring solutions that are both innovative and personalized.
A Journey from Design to Business Ownership
Christin’s professional journey began with a business degree in marketing, which led her into real estate, collaborating with residential developers on new home projects. This experience ignited her passion for design, inspiring her to pursue a master’s degree in interior design. After working with a hospitality design firm, she launched her own design company, where she specialized in home renovations and new construction for over 16 years. Her work focused on creating spaces that not only looked beautiful but also reflected the unique lifestyles of her clients.
In 2023, Christin took on an exciting new challenge by acquiring Floor Coverings International and taking over the North Shore territory. As the owner of FCI Glenview, she combines her years of design expertise with the company’s full-service approach, providing a seamless flooring experience that includes high-quality products, expert installation, and meticulous project management.
Design Trends to Watch
For Christin, every design project starts with the floors. “Flooring is a foundational element of any home,” she says. “It sets the tone for the entire space.” Here are some trends she’s excited about:
Bold Patterns and Colors: Homeowners are embracing personality-driven designs. Geometric tile patterns in bathrooms and creative hardwood layouts like herringbone and chevron are increasingly popular.
Layered Rugs: Mixing textures and colors with layered rugs adds an eclectic, personalized touch to living spaces.
Wide-Plank Engineered Flooring: This cost-effective alternative to solid wood offers durability and a high-end look, making it a favorite among homeowners.
What Sets FCI Apart
Christin’s approach to flooring goes beyond aesthetics. “At FCI, we believe the relationship with our clients is just as important as the finished space,” she says. “Constant communication and attention to detail ensure that every project meets our clients’ unique needs and style.”
The company offers a wide range of flooring options, including carpet, tile, hardwood and refinishing, luxury vinyl plank, and custom rugs and runners. With FCI’s end-to-end project management, clients can expect a stress-free experience from design consultation to installation.
Looking Ahead
As she builds her business, Christin is excited to make Floor Coverings International a household name across the North Shore. “My goal is to help people truly love where they live by transforming their spaces into something special,” she says. “I want FCI to be known not just for our designs but for the relationships we build with our clients.”
