Reviews of Creative Interiors By Carol (Interior Designer)

Cathy Rolfes

After purchasing a home in Asheville and living out of state, we depended on Carol to help us with many details in the area of home interiors. She found several rare items and helped us find the perfect new furniture. Carol was very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend her.

We used Carol for our new home in Asheville, NC. She was very professional and took time with us in selecting our blinds, to suggesting how to arrange our furniture. She is truly professional and has the patience of a saint! We are very happy with what she has done for our new home. Recommend her highly!

After purchasing a new home in Asheville, NC, while still living in another state, we were very fortunate to make contact with Carol Hensley at Creative Interiors. She recommended the perfect window coverings to enhance, and not detract from our beautiful views. Carol is personable, listens to your wish list, and comes up with solutions. The installer was excellent, quick, professional and efficient. We would highly recommend Creative Interiors by Carol for any design project.

Carol Hensley has an extremely talented eye for color and pattern and how it can positively impact your existing room or rooms. She balances new and creative ideas with the precious objects and elements that make your home your own. She listens to you and applies new ideas to your style and does not attempt to make your style her style. She enhances and does not replace where unwanted. Carol demonstrated these skills in the complete redecorating of my living room, office, and bedroom. In each case she asked me to identify the one element that I was sure I wanted to keep for the foreseeable future and that was the starting point for our joint decisions. I have been extremely pleased with everything that she suggested and that we implemented. I highly recommend Carol Hensley from Creative by Carol for your redecorating needs – blinds to bedspreads, and window treatments to upholstery.

When I moved into my new place in 2013, I needed window treatments and new furniture for most of the house, including the living room, dining room & den. Carol provided me with a full-range of exciting options that fit my tastes, while ensuring that all the pieces work well together. Also, Carol works magic with colors and fabrics, integrating the new sofas, chairs, toss pillows, dining room set, and den. For my new outdoor patio, Carol guided me in selecting the natural colors and pattern of tiles to blend in beautifully with the surroundings. I couldn’t be happier with the end result, comfortable & bright with warmth & vitality. Moreover, it’s easy working with Carol; in addition to her keen eye she is also very well-organized, leaves no loose ends, and is always on-time & punctual.

Creative by Carol is an Interior Design Company in a class of its own. Carol by far is the best designer in Asheville area and beyond. If you are looking for a company with an eye for detail and a touch of class….look no further! After consulting with several other designers, I decided to hire Carol. Her energy and expertise really set her apart. She listened to my vision and created a beautiful masterpiece. She was able to match our taste and style with a modern flare. Carol worked hard to help our family select paint for the exterior of our home and book us with her local painters. Her expertise alone helped set our home apart from all the others in our community. Carol worked quickly and efficiently with her time to also select the interior paint colors for our new home. Carol also accompanied my husband and I when shopping for furniture and finishing touches. As our furniture arrived she made herself available to place/stage our home for an upcoming party. Her ideas were as endless as her energy! We always receive comments from guests and refer new homeowners to Carol. You will not be disappointed with Carol. She is and will continue to be unmatched as a premier interior designer in Asheville.

Carol of Creative Interiors is amazing ! She has the innate ability to envision the colors, accessories, placement of furniture in a blink of an eye. Carol recommended paint colors, tile patterns, and placement of furniture for our home. She was able to use some of our "treasures" while integrating her own design ideas. We were amazed at the change in our home and we look forward to using her again.
