Reviews of Dwell by Cheryl Interiors (Interior Designer)

Geno Brown

Cheryl is one of a kind. Not only is Cheryl professional (timely, detail-oriented, knowledgeable in designing, and careful in listening to her clients), she is also fun and down-to-earth. This is a 2 for 1 review, as Cheryl assisted with designing our starter home and current homes. If you are thinking about whether to go with Cheryl, do it. Cheryl is well-round with her knowledge; also has a knack for finding pieces that speak to her client's personality and design wishes.

I hired Cheryl for a 3 room project. She did an excellent job. She had the hard task of making 2 different styles work together. I would definitely recommend for her creativity, passion, and professionalism.

Cheryl is a great designer. She took my nebulous thoughts and ideas and turned them in to a beautiful plan. The reality was even better! I appreciate that she paid close attention to my budget as well. Over a year later, I’m still so happy with her work every time I walk in my home.

Cheryl is beyond phenomenal and gifted at what she does and it shines through not only her work but her as a person. She has the ability to bring the vision to fruition even for people like my husband and I who aren't good with knowing exactly what color, style or even the type of couch we wanted, etc. We simply told her we wanted it light and airy and she guided us the entire way that ended up being more than we could have ever dreamed of. We are forever grateful for Cheryl and look forward to working with her on our next room projects. I would and will refer her a million times over to anyone I know.

The three things I said I needed a designer for were: 1) completion of the bedroom; 2) sourcing the furniture; and 3) blending me and my partners styles. She. Nailed.Each. One. This was an opportunity that we never seriously considered. With all the free design services offered at home furnishing stores, it seemed like frivolity to pay for an interior designer. We had multiple people, from multiple different stores come to the home. We’d even purchased items based off of sketches they proposed. At the end of the day, however, our most pressing needs for the space were never addressed. We didn’t really love the way our space looked. We had bits and pieces but couldn’t agree on anchoring pieces that would bring the space to a point of completion. And so, we just lived in a room with a bed, a too small rug, too small side tables, a ginormous tv, a cool but unnecessary bench, and a random-colored nursery chair. When Cheryl saw the room, she said we lived in a white box that was ripe for character. The biggest issue my husband and I faced was that we couldn’t agree on anything firmly enough to commit to buying it. The things we did end up buying ( and spending a lot of money on) wound up never working. Upon Cheryl’s design presentations she could see we were decision-ally-challenged. She patiently worked with us. I’d done enough research on her to give her my trust, but I was nervous. 1) We had just purchased furniture; 2) hiring a designer was a financial decision we didn’t want to turn out poorly ;3) swatches and sketches in isolation did not truly reflect her vision ; and, 4) we didn’t really know how to communicate what we actually liked. Nevertheless, we moved forward. What most struck me was how she and her assistant Jen took note of what we already had in the house to get a sense of our character ( which I imagine was also like pulling teeth). She worked with our budget and even got creative with our resources. She listened to our needs and made them work. What she was careful to note, however, was that we hired her for a reason. To really make our dreams come to fruition, we had to trust her and acknowledge the investment. Words cannot begin to describe the way we felt on reveal day. We were literally HGTV reveal participants. We were astounded by our finished master bedroom. Utterly amazed. The fabrics, the sketches, even the installation of the chandelier the day prior to the full reveal did nothing to prepare us for the magnificence we walked into. Not only was our room beautiful, but it was so “us”. Fully representative of our style. Colors, decor, everything. It was even personal. Personal photos, books that spoke directly to our interests, fabrics that acknowledged the presence of young children, and elegant luxury that made the bedroom feel special. I woke up days after the reveal having to remind myself that this was my room for keeps! This was a worthy investment. I can’t wait to have Cheryl complete the rest of my home.

Cheryl helped us realize our dream of having a home that’s like walking into a magazine. She took our minimal desire for light and airy and turned it into maximum style. Cheryl is professional, timely, on budget, and a joy to work with. She has a special ability to make the most out of each space, large or small. Her use of color and furniture design came together to create rooms that please me each time we walk into our home. Cheryl is absolutely the best!
