Charlotte’s FIRST EVER Southern Living Inspired Home!

At Greenbrook Design, we believe that a home should reflect not just your style—but your story. The Bramble House is the perfect example of how collaboration, creativity, and craftsmanship can come together to create something truly exceptional.

This home is more than just beautiful—it’s smartly designed, thoughtfully furnished, and filled with functional elements that enhance everyday living.

The Bramble

The Bramble-inspired home encompasses the timeless and gracious beauty of a southern home. The Burnham is an idyllic and charming respite. Set in a tranquil Southern Living-inspired community, this home deftly balances an ultra-lux, sophisticated feel with all of the comforts and inviting familiarity of a laid-back modern farmhouse.

Cabinets in this beautiful bramble house are fully crafted by Dura Supreme, and the custom kitchen island by  Walker Woodworking Custom Cabinets. A collaborative design with Southern Studio and Greenbrook Design. This home is the first of its kind and is trendsetting for many more to come.

The Southern Living Inspired Home at The Bramble was open for self-guided tours the entire month of June. We took a tour of the Bramble House ourselves and were excited to share some of the beauty we saw. It was amazing to see this house come together and enjoy the final product! It was such a great experience for us to be a part of the Bramble home!

Inside the Kitchen

The kitchen in the Bramble House is truly the heart of the home, outfitted with premium appliances from our trusted partners at Sub-Zero and Wolf. Known for their high-performance and design-forward appliances, this dynamic duo adds sophistication and practicality to any kitchen.

  • The Wolf range provides precision cooking power, ideal for everything from weekday dinners to gourmet gatherings.

  • Paired with Sub-Zero’s refrigerator and freezer columns, this kitchen offers optimal food preservation and a sleek, built-in aesthetic.

Together, these appliances create a professional-level cooking environment, right at home. Something every family chef will appreciate.

It’s the Little Details That Make a Big Difference

While grand design elements certainly make an impression, it’s the unique, personal touches that truly make a house a home. One of our favorite Bramble House features? A custom-built kitty door! Subtle, stylish, and practical—it’s a fun and functional example of how we tailor designs to every member of the family, pets included.

Granite, Quartz, Marble, or Quartzite?
These are the top contenders when it comes to selecting the perfect countertop material for your kitchen or bathroom. Each one brings its own strengths, aesthetic appeal, and practical considerations—making the decision both exciting and a bit overwhelming.

Granite is a natural stone known for its durability and unique, one-of-a-kind patterns. Quartz, on the other hand, is an engineered surface that offers a wide range of color options and is prized for its low-maintenance qualities. Marble stands out for its timeless elegance and heat resistance, though it requires more upkeep. Quartzite closely resembles marble in appearance but offers greater durability and easier maintenance.

When making your selection, it’s important to consider factors such as heat and stain resistance, ease of maintenance, and of course, budget. Below, we break down the key differences, pros, and cons of each material to help you determine which surface best suits your lifestyle, design vision, and practical needs.

The kitchen pantry is often one of the most underutilized yet high-potential spaces in the home. While it can easily become a catch-all for clutter, a well-designed pantry is a true hidden gem—capable of transforming the functionality of your kitchen. From storing oversized serving pieces to housing everyday essentials, a thoughtfully planned pantry helps keep countertops clear and mealtime prep more efficient.

Whether you have a compact pull-out pantry, a spacious walk-in, or a dedicated butler’s pantry, innovative organization is key. A well-designed pantry not only maximizes storage but also supports the flow of your kitchen. Below, we’re sharing a few of our favorite design ideas and practical tips to help you better utilize your pantry space—and maybe even inspire your next kitchen upgrade.

Effortless Home Styling

Our showroom’s grand opening was the culmination of two years filled with vision, planning, and hard work—a dream brought to life through dedication and passion. Now, as we prepare to celebrate our second anniversary, we find ourselves reflecting on how quickly time has passed. It feels like only yesterday that we opened our doors and welcomed our very first clients into the space we’ve come to love so much.

Join us as we take a walk down memory lane and revisit the milestones, challenges, and moments that brought us to Uptown Shelby. This anniversary isn’t just a celebration of time—it’s a celebration of growth, community, and the relationships we’ve built along the way.

There is more to color than simply a large selection of hues. Color sends a message and can represent thought and emotion, especially in the world of design. Each year, Pantone announces its choice for the color of the year, a tradition that started in 1999, and designers everywhere eagerly await the news. Classic Blue was this year’s choice of color, a color that represents the future.

As we prepare to close the door on one decade and begin anew, many are filled with anticipation of what the coming year will bring. Blue has always been associated with stability, relaxation, and tranquility, as is seen in nature with the ocean and sky. We understand that hectic schedules and stressful office days generate a need for a place to unwind and completely relax. Here are a few ways to incorporate the color of the year into your home and give it that welcoming environment that will last throughout the coming decade and beyond.

Light is one of nature’s most captivating elements, and its presence has the power to transform a space. In the world of interior design, natural light plays a vital role—not only by enhancing aesthetics but also by elevating the overall atmosphere of a room. It can create dramatic contrasts that bring depth and interest to a space, while also highlighting architectural and design features.

Natural light, when thoughtfully incorporated, makes interiors feel larger, warmer, and more welcoming. At Greenbrook Design, we embrace a design approach known as daylighting—the intentional use of natural light to shape how a space looks and feels throughout the day. It’s one of our favorite tools in the design process.

Here are just a few reasons why we love incorporating natural light into our projects…
