I am pleased to have as my guest today Charlotte North Carolina designer Cheryl Luckett. Her design aesthetic is sophisticated but approachable; easy and livable. She started her own firm in 2012, Dwell by Cheryl Interiors continues to grow with clients raving about Cheryl’s ability to transform a space on a realistic budget, as well as her professionalism and attention to detail. Her most recent achievement is her collaboration with Sylvester Alexander launched last October at Highpoint market called Belle, 5 distinctly Southern pieces of furniture from settees to consoles. 

Let's hear this Southern girl's views on color .......

Susan Jamieson:  What one color represents your design style? 

Cheryl Luckett:  Blue, it’s usually present in some way in every project.

SJ: Do you use color as a dominant role in your designs or as an accent?

CL: It’s usually a dominant element.

SJ: How do you feel about matching colors in a room?

CL: While I do like cohesion, my aim is never to match. I love using varying shades and tints of a hue.

SJ: What color represents your personality?

CL: Fuchsia

SJ: What color comes to mind when you talk about:

Your favorite City ....... Gulfport, MS (home)- Light Blue

The House You Grew Up In ......... Yellow, it was a brick home with yellow shutters and my room was also yellow.

Last Fabulous Dinner You Had ........ White, Dined at a fabulous new French restaurant in Charlotte and the modern, Parisian vibe was definitely fresh and clean.

Your favorite Flower ....... Peony- White with a hint of blush. I have a bush in my backyard that I’ve cared for over the past 11 years and I patiently wait for its lush blooms every spring.

Your favorite season ...... White, I love winter. I love the holidays and while we don’t get much snow where I live, when we do the light that dances off the white snow is my favorite.

Your Favorite Art ...... Purple, from an abstract painting I recently had commissioned.

Your Favorite Room in Your Home ..... Gold. I love warm touches of gold in a space.

Your Favorite Beauty product .... Taupe, I love my shadow stick. It’s a taupe color but has a hint of sparkle that’s just enough pizzazz for every day use.

Your Favorite Article of Clothing ...... Kelly Green, I love my one shoulder top in Kelly green. It’s been a go-to for years.
