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.

New Year, New Trends, New Lights: Home Lighting Trends for 2022

Design Notes

Since the invention of the light bulb, we have been able to brighten up our homes at any time of day. It has been great to eliminate shadows in areas where there are limited windows or even none at all, and allowed us to achieve more in a 24-hour period. Light fixtures have also developed from being just a practical tool into works of art, giving homeowners the chance to express themselves and add a touch of elegance to any room. Changing out a light fixture can completely alter or transform a room, and with so many sizes and styles, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. As we approach the close of another year, new home lighting trends for 2022 could provide helpful information for selecting your next light fixture that will perfectly illuminate your home.

A Place At The Table: Dining Room Design Tips

Life, Styled

Every area of the home has a purpose, a specific role to play in running a house smoothly, whether that is the living room where we relax or the bathroom where we get ready for the day. The kitchen is a place of preparation, the space where we go to cook for our family, but it is the dining room where it is served and enjoyed. This is the space within the home that gives families a designated area to gather around and dine together, as well as for activities like homework, bills, and fun things like family game night. It is a multifunctional space, which means it deserves some extra attention when selecting decor pieces. Let’s talk about the many elements you can use to give the dining room the love and beauty it deserves.

Choose What You Love: What is Mixology Interior Design?

Design Notes

The world of interior design has run the full gamut of trends, from minimal to over-the-top and back again. Your home is meant to be your happy place, and a good design can affect the atmosphere. There are multiple styles to choose from, including modern, traditional, farmhouse, and transitional. Each possesses characteristics that make them unique in their own way, but sometimes what is offered is not enough, which is where the term mixology comes in, and no, we are not referring to the mixing of cocktails. There is a beauty when mixing and matching design styles, cabinets, and furnishings to create a space that perfectly reflects you. For a long time, designers were taught that things needed to remain within a certain realm of style in order for them to look good, but over the past few years, those boundaries have been broken down to make way for homeowners to express themselves in their own way. Out of this, there have been some new terms used to describe the shift in styles, such as grand millennial. If you like a few elements from multiple styles, then mixology may be your new best friend.

Make A Statement: Contrasting Colors in Design

Design Notes

The world of design draws on multiple elements to create the perfect space for homeowners, a place that represents them and their particular style. Color plays a vital role in the design process, and its effects go beyond just adding a splash to the room. Color can affect our mood, communicate a message, lessen eye strain, and even play a part in remembering certain events. It also has the ability to influence the size of a room with certain colors, causing the area to feel larger, while other shades create a more intimate feel. Color selection can be a fun and rewarding process, plus it provides you with a great way to tell your story. More homeowners are discovering the beauty of contrasting colors, and this choice is gaining popularity in the design world. From two-toned kitchens to opposites in cabinets and tile, contrasting colors can spice up your design and make a stunning statement. Let’s explore more about what contrasting colors are and how they can help you tell your story.
