“Can we make the kitchen bigger?” It’s one of the most common questions I hear—and I get it. Kitchens are the heart of the home, and it feels natural to assume that more space automatically means more function. But in reality, a bigger kitchen doesn’t always work better. In fact, I’ve seen oversized kitchens feel awkward, inefficient, and surprisingly hard to use. What really makes a kitchen successful isn’t square footage—it’s thoughtful space planning.

Sheri reached out through our website looking to redesign her dining room and adjacent bar room with a look that felt both elegant and bold. She loved to entertain and wanted spaces that felt elevated, confident, and full of personality. From our first conversation, it was clear she wasn’t afraid of color—and that gave us the freedom to design something truly special.

Before you dive into new colors, take a moment to look around your home. What tones already dominate your space—warm neutrals, deep woods, crisp whites, or moody accents? Your holiday palette should complement your existing aesthetic rather than fight it.

When Miya first reached out through our website from her new townhome in Winston-Salem, NC, her request sounded simple: she needed help choosing artwork, a rug, and curtains. She had a beautiful space with tons of potential—clean lines, tall ceilings, and natural light—but it still felt unfinished. Like many new builds, the home had great bones but lacked the warmth, personality, and function she wanted.

The holidays are right around the corner — and if you’re hosting family or friends this year, you might already be looking around your home wondering how to make it feel more inviting. The good news? You don’t need a full remodel to get your space holiday-ready. With a few thoughtful updates and styling tips, you can create a warm, functional, and beautiful environment your guests will love.

Some renovations are years in the making—and Misty’s kitchen remodel was one of them. For years, she dreamed of updating her well-loved but outdated kitchen. The space, built in the 1970s, had seen a few small updates over time, but it still carried that old, closed-in feel. Misty envisioned something entirely different: a bright, classic, and luxurious kitchen that felt as fresh and inviting as the rest of her home.

Every beautiful space begins long before the paint colors and fabric swatches. For me, the most important part of any project is the beginning—the part where I get to know you, your lifestyle, and your dreams for your home. That’s where the vision takes shape.

Every parent dreams of creating a space where their child feels at home—cozy enough for playtime but designed to last through the teenage years. When Jamie asked us to redesign her daughter’s room, her goal was simple: transform a builder-grade bedroom into a custom sanctuary that her daughter could grow with.

When most people think about a bathroom renovation, they imagine tile samples, new fixtures, and maybe a fresh coat of paint. But there’s so much more that goes into a beautiful and functional bathroom—and that’s where an interior designer truly shines.

When Becky reached out to us about renovating her master bathroom, she came with a clear vision: a European-inspired space that felt both classic and timeless, yet bold and personal. She loved clean lines and simplicity but wanted touches of color and texture that leaned into her boho edge.

Designing a home you love doesn’t happen overnight—or without a plan. While selecting paint colors, furnishings, and finishes can be exciting, none of it comes together smoothly without a realistic interior design budget. Whether you're remodeling a single room or tackling a whole-house makeover, having a clear financial plan will help you make smart choices, stay on track, and avoid expensive surprises.

When Tim and April Stewart contacted Kendall Sharpe Designs, they were ready for a change. The main level of their home had grown outdated over time, with a mismatched color palette, worn furniture, and a kitchen that no longer fit their needs—or their style.

Let’s be real—interior design trends are everywhere. From social media feeds to home makeover shows, it can feel like there's always something new you’re supposed to love. But here’s the thing: trends come and go, and your home? It should last.

Paint is one of the most powerful tools in interior design—it can instantly set the tone, improve flow, and reflect your personal style. But getting it right requires more than just picking your favorite color. A professional paint consultation removes the stress and guesswork, offering expert advice and a personalized plan that ensures your home looks its very best.

Jennifer had a clear vision for her space—she needed more than just a desk. She wanted a place where her family could work, create, and spend time together. Her home office felt disconnected and cluttered, with scattered supplies, a visible printer, and a standard desk that just didn’t meet her needs. More than anything, she was ready for a solution that would last. A custom built-in was the answer. Unlike furniture that comes and goes, built-ins become part of the home’s ar
