My story

Dustin Toale, is based in Chicago, IL. Originally from Iowa, he relocated to Chicago nearly a decade ago to begin his career as a residential realtor. From an early age, Dustin demonstrated a strong interest in design, which he has further cultivated through more than ten years of experience in real estate—visiting and selling hundreds, potentially thousands, of homes. This exposure deepened his passion for interior decorating, leading him to establish Toale Interiors in 2025.

Recognizing an unmet need in the industry, Dustin founded a scalable decorating service that accommodates projects of varying sizes—from selecting lighting fixtures for new developments to comprehensive whole-home decorating solutions.

Dustin resides in the East Lakeview neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side. His admiration for historic architecture influenced his decision to purchase a pre-war condominium along Lake Shore Drive. He takes pride in curating antique and period furnishings for his home, honoring the distinctive craftsmanship and character of the 1920s.
