SOME IDENTICAL TWINS SHARE MORE THAN DNA: THEY SHARE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER.

AUGUST, 13, 2025 | CHARLOTTE, NC

Smiling woman in white dress holds a drink, seated by a marble counter. Bright kitchen with large windows and green view outside. — Lisa Sherry eagerly accepted the challenge of designing the home of a former client's identical twin.

Some design stories begin with an empty room. This one began with a familiar face. For Lisa Sherry, designing for the identical twin of a former client was a study in parallels and contrasts. The resemblance was uncanny – same smile, same tilt of the head. But personality, preferences and daily rituals? Entirely her own.

The home is a new-construction townhome in Charlotte, North Carolina, spanning 4,300 square feet over three stories. It’s a modern canvas with generous proportions – ready to be shaped into a personal refuge. Here's how Lisa describes the design transformation...

Modern, cozy room with a beige armchair, fluffy ottoman, and neutral desk. Lamp and plant on desk. Sunlight streams through window. — DISCOVERY marks the start of every Lisa Sherry Interieurs home design. A significant finding was revealed as this design transformation commenced.

DESIGN DISCOVERY

The interior design process began, as it always does at Lisa Sherry Interieurs, in the Discovery phase – a deep dive into how a client truly wants to live. I arrive with a measuring tape, yes, but also curiosity. I listen for the unspoken: the morning routines, the textures that soothe, the spaces where the day should slow.

With this sister, one truth emerged early: her home had to be a refuge from allergens. No feathers. No down. No sneeze-inducing fibers. At first blush, the opposite of the organic, touch-me materials and textures I often lean into. But design, when done well, bends beautifully around a client’s needs. Belgian linen – a perennial LSI favorite – became a hero material, naturally hypoallergenic and timeless. The search for other health-conscious, high-design materials became a treasure hunt, resulting in a home where every surface is safe, sensual and stunning.

Modern living room with beige sofa, white table, and decor. Open patio doors reveal a sunny deck with trees and chairs. Calm, inviting. — The living room is at one with nature, opening to a spacious terrace.

The Living Room

The living room is an exercise in openness – connected to the kitchen and layered with texture. A Verellen sectional in creamy Belgian linen invites sprawling conversations and afternoon naps. At its center, a waterfall gesso coffee table edged in brass adds sculptural presence. Vintage textile art hangs framed behind glass – a nod to heritage, protected yet visible. In this living room, daylight and conversation are constant companions.

Elegant dining room with round table, six gray chairs, modern chandelier, and large windows. White walls, soft lighting, and calm ambiance. — Quiet suppers and large family features, this dining room is an all-occasion gem.

The Dining Room

This dining space is more than a room – it’s the social heart of the home. The oval-top pedestal table from Mr. Brown London encourages guests to lean in, pass platters and trade stories. Fully upholstered armchairs embrace diners in comfort. Even on quiet nights, a bottle of wine and a simple meal feel elevated here.

Bright bedroom with a large bed, beige pillows, gray quilt, and light curtains. Two side tables with lamps. Peaceful and minimalist decor. — Lisa Sherry primary suites are alway an oasis of calm.

The Primary Bedroom

Retreat, cocoon, exhale. The primary suite is the one place the world cannot reach. A king-size peninsula bed, swathed in linen, commands attention while offering comfort. Symmetry rules – balanced bedsides, paired lamps – yet soft curves appear in a swivel chair, a stone table and the gentle arch of a mirror. Mornings stretch long; evenings arrive gently.

Stylish hallway with light wood floors, gray rug, white couch with cushions, and marble kitchen island visible in the background. Cozy ambiance. — No space is forgotten or underserved in a Lisa Sherry Interieurs home.

The Spaces Between

The soul of a home often resides in its quieter corners. A transitional hallway – anchored by a custom bench, petite table and slender runner – becomes a moment of pause. This is the LSI philosophy: beauty isn’t reserved for grand gestures; it’s infused into every turn, every surface, every texture under your fingertips.

Cozy wooden balcony with a hanging wicker chair, white cushion, wooden chair, and round table. Natural light creates a serene atmosphere. — Take a break. This terrace for two is outside a home office.

Life, Curated This Lisa Sherry Interieurs home proves that clean, modern design can feel warm, sensual and deeply personal – even when materials are guided by health sensitivities. Every room invites touch, conversation and living fully in the moment. Step inside and you feel it immediately: this is more than a house. This is a life, curated.
