Interior Designer reviews in Danville, California

I got a copy of Shepherd Sterling’s luxury coffee table book, BANOVICH. It’s a beautiful decor piece and a wonderful read.

This isn’t the kind of book you rush through. BANOVICH feels more like a 30-year expedition journal than a typical coffee table book. The photos are incredible, but what really stood out to me is the feeling behind them, the patience, the quiet moments, and the deep respect for wild places.

As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, this one really hit home. It captures a side of the outdoors you don’t always see on camera. It’s also just a beautiful piece to have around, one you’ll keep coming back to.

Excellent experience. Very small project, but would highly recommend.

I have worked with the Shepherd Sterling real estate concierge team on several occasions and I've never been disappointed. Their standard of work is very high — the quality of staging, speedy execution, attention to detail, and quick response rate are hallmarks of their excellent customer service. They truly elevate my listings and reduce the days on market. I look forward to working with them each time! - Joe Dickerson, Keller Williams Realty DRE#01961649

I was facing challenges reconfiguring our home’s floor plan to meet our family’s needs. I hired Shepherd Sterling to help me figure it out. Cherisse thought of not one, but two great ideas to help us accomplish our goals. Finally, I have a way forward! Thank you Shepherd Sterling!

We have been working with Cherisse on the living and dining space in our new house. We moved from a tiny apartment to a much bigger house, so we had a lot of space to fill and didn’t know where to start. Cherisse was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process, understanding our needs and budget and coming up with a vision we were truly excited about. She even gave useful advice on what pieces would be better suited considering our cats and future children, and thanks to a 3D model of our space she identified and helped us address an issue where the space between our dining table and sideboard would have been too narrow. Finally, she was very responsive and kept our schedule into consideration by sourcing a dining table that would be ready for shipping quickly. We love the space Cherisse designed with us and we can’t wait for all the other pieces to be delivered so we can enjoy it and share it with friends and family!

Shepherd Sterling helped me design my entire apartment. I loved not having to go shopping everywhere to curate the look I wanted. Their full service was so convenient and it was awesome to have it all installed all in one day. Very happy with the results.

I have to say, I have been completely blown away by Shepherd Sterling and their quality of work. They recently decorated my home and went above and beyond with flawless execution. I especially liked their art selection and the entire team was such a pleasure to work with and very responsive. If you have a chance to work with Shepherd Sterling, jump on it - I could not recommend them enough.

I wanted to decorate a couple of my bedrooms but wasn’t sure how to select the color scheme and decor. Thank you Shepherd Sterling for your talented eye, time, and thoughtful selections! They were so great at listening to our feedback and also respectful of our budget. Everything looks more amazing than I could have ever imagined! I’m so thankful and can’t wait to partner with them again!

We worked with Shepherd Sterling to redesign our bathroom. They did a phenomenal job of factoring our likes/dislikes, and advising on practical considerations we hadn't thought of. Additionally, they were very resourceful, in the face of unexpected challenges, particularly around shipping delays and sourcing issues. In the end, our bathroom design is beyond anything we could've thought of ourselves, while also being practical for our day-to-day lives. We are constantly getting compliments on it and are very happy with the end result. We look forward to working with them again for future projects.

I really enjoyed working with Cherisse at Shepherd Sterling. This was the first time I've worked with an interior designer so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, Cherisse really blew me away with her kindness and attentiveness. She has an intuitive sense of style and helped me bring a natural elegance and class into the spaces I was working with. I'm so happy I was able work with them - I highly recommend it!

I approached Shepherd Sterling to help me with my home in Canada. I needed someone who could integrate my home’s architecture with my design style and figure out how to create more opportunity for entertaining. Cherisse was patient, detailed and incredibly attentive during the entire process. We immediately connected when she was able to see and articulate my vision so clearly and used her expertise to create a cohesive look in line with my style. I highly recommend Shepherd Sterling to anyone looking for expert design advice and an efficient, enjoyable experience. Thank you for helping me make my vision a reality!

Shepherd Sterling is fabulous! We recently bought a house, and as a working professional with two babies, the thought of furnishing, decorating, and designing space was mind-numbing. I didn't know where to start with interior design. I scheduled an appointment with Cherisse and fell in love with her energy and work immediately. I felt confident that she could easily and happily accommodate anything and everything that I might throw her way, and I was proven right. The Shepherd Sterling app made it a breeze to communicate and share ideas.

Cherisse thought of numerous elements that I didn't even consider and she really knows where to get the best items at the best prices. Her taste is exactly on-point with what I was dreaming of before meeting her. I trust her eye for detail and design and I’m loving the way all of her design ideas are coming together!

Her relaxed and friendly demeanor as well as her sense of style made her a pleasure to work with. I absolutely LOVE everything she picked out for our entire home. The experience was seamless and elevated, with beautiful results and budget spent wisely.

We love our backyard space thanks to Cherisse! Shepherd Sterling designed our backyard space into a beautiful resort style sanctuary that we absolutely love! Cherisse really took the time to understand exactly what we needed, quickly learn about our style preferences, incorporated some of our existing furniture and pulled it all together. She has excellent taste, worked within our budget and was super fast and efficient! She is detail oriented, professional, responsive and such a pleasure to work with. We love everything about it and loved everything about working with Cherisse. I highly recommend Cherisse and her team and will definitely work with them again!

I highly recommend Shepherd Sterling to anyone seeking excellent interior design services. My wife and I agree, the Shepherd Sterling team was a dream to work with. Cherisse is an extremely talented designer and her imagination, creativity and attention to detail was a very big help. She is professional, resourceful, trustworthy, and easy to work with. Her customer service and communication is first-rate. Her services and creativity have been instrumental in achieving our dream home. She essentially helped design every room in our whole house. Keeping our budget in mind, she helped hone in on our style and picked out the perfect furniture, art, and accessories. All the while, really listening to us to construct a vision and collaborate on ideas. We are beyond thrilled with the results.

If you are looking for a high-level, experienced interior designer who embodies customer service and excellent design, contact Shepherd Sterling.

We've worked with Shepherd Sterling for two different projects--one bathroom remodel and a complete kitchen re-haul. For both projects, their guidance on both design and practical, usability matters was invaluable.

The kitchen project in particular was a big undertaking. Throughout the process, Shepherd Sterling worked hard to forge a partnership with us, and arguably more importantly, our contractor to design and build a kitchen that matched what we had envisioned & would work for our family for years to come.

We're very happy with the end results of both projects and would recommend their work.

We had the pleasure of working with Cherisse and Shepherd Sterling recently. They helped us design our living room and dining room. What made our project unique is that we really wanted to showcase our existing art and incorporate some of our current furniture and tie it all together in a cohesive way. Before, every designer we talked to just wanted to give us a cookie cutter design and just didn’t listen to our needs until I met Shepherd Sterling. They took the time to really understand our style, our needs, our budget and gave us exactly what we wanted and worked incredibly fast. The end result is gorgeous, functional and very personal to us. We loved getting the expert design guidance and she was amazing at explaining her design strategy and really listening to our feedback. I absolutely love our new space, loved the whole experience and would highly recommend Shepherd Sterling for your design needs.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Shepherd Sterling team for a complete overhaul of my living space. I approached them with a vision for a modern, minimalist, and cohesive look - and they exceeded my expectations.

From the get-go, their keen understanding of my style was apparent. They took my abstract ideas and translated them into a tangible design that not only represented my aesthetic but also introduced me to new ideas that I hadn't considered. The furniture they sourced was not only beautiful and high-quality but also perfectly suited to the overall design.

What sets Shepherd Sterling apart is their ability to build something beautiful and cohesive. They seamlessly blended colors, textures, and styles to create a space that truly feels like me. Since the redesign, I've received countless compliments on my apartment decor and style, a testament to their meticulous work and creativity.

But what impressed me most was their professionalism and personal touch. They made the design process not just stress-free, but also exciting. It felt like a collaborative journey, and the result is a living space that I absolutely adore.

If you're seeking an interior designer, I cannot recommend Shepherd Sterling enough. Their understanding of design and commitment to their clients is truly unparalleled. They’ve shown me that everyone should invest in a space that makes them happy - and with Shepherd Sterling, you're sure to get just that.

Shepherd Sterling transformed our combined living room and dining room into a stunning space fit for entertaining and relaxation. We were looking for a fresh, modern but warm look that blended into the architecture of our home, and they exceeded our expectations. Cherisse and her team carefully considered our preferences, focusing on tastefully incorporating pops of color, and maximizing our space.

What impressed us most was their skill in integrating a challenging piece, a chest of drawers we already owned, seamlessly into the design. Working with Shepherd Sterling was a pleasure from start to finish. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to bring our vision to life is commendable. They checked in with us as our pieces arrived to make sure we were happy with the end result. We highly recommend their services and couldn't be happier with the outcome! We hope to have them help with other areas of our house down the road.

We’ve worked alongside Shepherd Sterling on several projects, and they’re consistently thoughtful and organized. Their plans are clear, and lighting layouts and fixture selections are well considered early, which makes coordination straightforward and avoids unnecessary revisions during the build. They communicate clearly, understand how electrical details affect the overall space, and are calm and respectful of the trades. That level of preparation and early coordination helps keep construction running smoothly from start to finish.

Amity did an amazing job with our kitchen renovation. She came up with 3 plans that were fantastic. We ended up choosing items from 2 different plans and designing our kitchen. We had a few problems/issues and she worked with our contractor and the cabinet provider to come up with solutions to fix the issues. She suggested that we have art work on the two kitchen walls with special lighting. I was hesitant as I had no desire to put artwork in the kitchen. Amity came up with different ideas on the art work for the two walls and I am so happy that we went with it. It makes a huge difference. She planned out all the electrical too. I could not have done this without her help and guidance. If you need help in a remodel of any sort, I would recommend that you contact Amity and start there.
