Many of our clients live an hour or more away in the Charlotte metro area. This usually leads people to ask, “Why should I drive to Shelby when I can go somewhere closer?” We understand the reason behind the inquiry and want to share a few reasons why we believe that you will find value in taking the time to make the drive.

Discover why homeowners and designers from across the Carolinas make the drive to Shelby. At Greenbrook Design, our showroom offers an inspiring collection of custom kitchens, baths, and living spaces you won’t find anywhere else. From exclusive cabinetry lines to fully styled vignettes, every detail is designed to spark ideas and help you visualize what’s possible for your home. Paired with our expert design team and the charm of Shelby’s local shops and restaurants, your trip becomes more than a visit—it’s an experience worth the drive.

Enhancing Experiences: A Dual Encounter

Our Showroom at Greenbrook Design is only 2 miles away from our Walker Woodworking manufacturing facility. You will have the opportunity to tour the manufacturing facility to see where your cabinets will be made while you’re in town.

Our 5,000-square-foot showroom in uptown Shelby has everything you need to complete your cabinetry. We offer options for cabinetry at various investment levels, ensuring you can stay within your budget without compromising quality. We offer over 100 different doors and finishes to choose from, along with thousands of hardware options, including popular brands such as Top Knobs, Amerock, Emtek, and Schwab, among others.

What our clients have to say:

“After researching six custom cabinetry providers in and around Charlotte, NC, we chose Greenbrook Design and Walker Woodworking for all of the cabinetry needs for our house renovation. We were thoroughly impressed with the Walker’s professionalism, design assistance, wood quality, variety of door styles and accessories, physical plant organization and cleanliness, and their unbeatable prices.”

The drive time is not that much different.

If you have ever tried to drive anywhere in Charlotte or any other large city, you understand the frustration of being stuck in slow to almost standing still traffic, all to go a short distance! Here are just a few points to consider why a drive to Shelby is not so bad.

  • It’s no more time than driving to or from the Lake Norman area (and at least you are moving most of the time and not sitting still on 77!)
  • If you plan your trip after the morning rush hour and before the afternoon rush hour, it is less than an hour from the Myers Park area.
  • Our process is more efficient. Since we have all the products in the showroom and offer “live design”, we can accomplish a great deal with one trip to our showroom. Other showrooms that don’t provide real-time design can lead to multiple trips, and your project can drag out for weeks.

Many of our clients will tell us that they enjoyed the drive to Shelby because it was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Plus, we have some of the world’s best BBQ at Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge, or maybe you prefer their rival Alston Bridges BBQ, yes, it is a local ‘battle of the BBQ.’ You can always find hidden treasures in a small town, so be sure to plan your trip with plenty of time to explore Uptown Shelby.  or maybe make plans to stay the weekend, we promise you will have a great experience, read here to learn more.

We offer a unique customer service.

To us, it is more than selling a product; it is about building a relationship with our clients. This is the foundation and philosophy upon which our company was built. Our clients matter to us and their specific needs are what drive us to create a design that is unique for their lifestyle. Our number one priority is to learn our clients, no one is the same and neither are their needs. Each client has something unique about them and that is what we want to cater to, to find that blend of styles that matches them. The experience we have gained over the years in home renovations, combined with our extensive knowledge of our products, is what sets our service apart. We understand what works and what doesn’t in a home, and we also know how to create a design that blends all your wants and needs into a perfect balance. Our clients always appreciate how we can take their ideas and bring them to life, that is our specialty and our calling.

Our products stand out from the rest.

There is a difference between going to Lowe’s and buying premade cabinets versus shopping with a company that can custom make your cabinets to suit your space and style. We also have the unique ability to use more than one cabinet line in your project, to help you stay within your budget. Our kitchen and bath designers excel at designing cabinets to meet your needs and your budget.

Meet our Design Team

“There are tons of cabinet options, most of which use particle board in some areas. We wanted solid wood and quality construction.  Greenbrook Design is where we came up with the layout and design features. We also visited the shop of Walker Woodworking, seeing the attention to detail and quality in production confirmed that we made the correct choice. Quality and design were very important to us!”
Homeowner – F. Potocnik

We strive to offer the very best products available, a product that we can proudly stand behind. This requires us to invest ourselves personally into the process. When you visit our showroom, we can showcase the numerous options available for your cabinet selections, as well as the various lines we carry.  With our ability to mix and match our custom cabinets with semi-custom cabinets, we fit any budget and any space. We now have outdoor cabinetry in addition to our other cabinet lines.

We are proud to serve twelve counties, including but not limited to Cleveland, Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Catawba, Henderson, Polk, Iredell, Gaston, Rowan, York, Spartanburg, and Greenville. Stop by our showroom and let us give you a tour; we guarantee you will not be disappointed. So take a drive to Shelby and visit us, we promise you a warm welcome and a refreshing beverage. We are committed to helping you see your dream become a reality and will be with you every step of the way.

7 Popular Kitchen Design Features

Design Notes

The kitchen is one of the most functional areas in the home, as it serves a multitude of needs. It is where we cook for our family, host special gatherings, and celebrate the wins. This is why including these kitchen design features matters, as it means creating a kitchen that works for and with you, leaving you more time for the things that truly matter. Take the time to evaluate your space and the things you do every day, so that when you attend your design meeting, you can share exactly what you need with your designer, and they can tailor your space to meet your needs. We also invite you to visit our showroom located in Shelby, NC, and browse our numerous displays.

Top 5 Sustainable Materials for Interior Design

Design Notes

Home is a special word because it represents comfort, refuge, and family. Our home is meant to be the culmination of everything we cherish, which is why designers work tirelessly to create the perfect environment. Recently, however, there has been a movement to rethink how we design in order to minimize our carbon footprint. Interest in sustainability has increased in recent years as homeowners and designers seek ways to reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. One way is selecting sustainable materials for use in our home products. From furnishings to accent pieces, there are certain items that are more eco-friendly and come with benefits for you and your family. Let’s talk about the sustainable design approach and the top five sustainable materials you can incorporate into your home.

Window Treatments for every area of your Home

Life, Styled

Window treatments are a great accent to any area of the home, including home offices, laundry rooms, and dining areas. Each has various needs that should be considered, as well as the style that best suits the particular area. Home offices are where you will spend a large portion of your daylight hours, so be sure to consider the location of your computer in relation to the window and any potential issues with glare that may arise.

The Perfect Pairing: Countertops and Backsplash

Life, Styled

Many elements make up a beautiful kitchen, but without a doubt, the countertops and backsplash are the focal points. These materials have become more than just practical tools in the kitchen. They are now works of art and an opportunity for homeowners to add a touch of themselves to the design. Of course, there must be a balance between the two, where they work together to create a cohesive design. Multiple ways exist to create both beautiful and functional looks in the kitchen. Here we answer some common questions surrounding the topic.
