SOULFUL TOUCHES, RESTORATIVE COLORS, AND ORGANIC TEXTURES CREATE THE FOUNDATION FOR LISA SHERRY’S NEWEST

HOME REIMAGINATION.

For the design alchemist, the “magic is in the mix”—whether in life or on project with the Lisa Sherry Interieurs team. Backed by five talented creatives and professionals, the designer and her full-service interior design studio take an earthy and lived-in approach to residential and commercial projects.



“My style is modern and organic, with classic touchpoints that make my interiors timeless,” Principal Creative Director and Visionary Lisa Sherry says. “I chooseneutral palettes with abundant texture over color. I love light. Interesting juxtaposi- tions set my work apart, mixing periods, materials, and textures.”

Sherry’s latest project? A 2015 remodel that called for a reconceptualized interior to suit a busy family of five.

“We wanted to celebrate the grand architecture and bring it down to earth a bit to create a space that’s real, authentic, and in step with the day-to-day,” Sherry says. “And, of course, beautiful for my clients.”

Because the home already had strong bones from architect Ruard Veltman’s refresh, Sherry ventured down a design path that was “passionately neutral,” with earthy tones full of texture that appeal to all of the senses.

“Traditional and modern play off each other— essential to my mix,” Sherry says. “I believe that texture, rather than lots of colors, adds interest, soul, and authenticity to a space.”

As a self-proclaimed lover of light, the designer says that the soft glow created by floor-to-ceiling windows with tranquil garden views adds dimension to the home. No matter the angle, the residence is bathed in sunlight that spotlights the intricate detail in wood, stone, and glass materials.

“This is my second home with this accom- plished young family of five,” Sherry says. “Design is very personal and it’s all about developing trust and relationships. I’ve watched the family grow and evolve. There’s a high level of trust, which allows me to do my best work. It shows in the space.”

Similar to her ever-growing relationships with her clients, the designer is a firm believer in the power of continuous learning.

“It’s a mindset,” Sherry says. “Rather than big ah-has and stop-the-world epiphanies, I learn something every day. That said, I have evolved so much personally and professionally as an interior designer.”

As for one of Sherry’s most freeing realizations throughout 18 years of owning a design studio: The ability to fully trust her instincts.

“My design aesthetic is modern and organic with quiet classic motifs, all expressed in a neutral palette with abundant texture and light,” Sherry says. “Today, clients come to me for this look and vibe. Being true to myself elevates my spaces and my practice. It’s very fulfilling.”

RADA REDEFINES DINING IN CHARLOTTE WITH NYC FLAIR

February 16, 2025
Rada, a chic new restaurant in Myers Park, introduces Charlotte to an elevated dining experience with tapas, biodynamic wines, and shareable plates. Helmed by Chef Callan Buckles, formerly of acclaimed NYC spots like Claud, Momofuku, and The Four Horsemen, the menu is a bold fusion of global influences. Owner Eloy Roy envisioned this contemporary American eatery in the former Little Spoon space, creating a cozy yet upscale 50-seat spot with mint green walls and a minimalist aesthet-ic. From a $3 Gilda skewer to a $110 sirloin, Rada’s offerings reflect Buckles’ culinary pedigree and adventurous flair. With dishes like eggplant escabeche and seabass paired with txakolina wine, Rada aims to carve out a niche in Charlotte’s emerging shared-plates scene.Rada blends fine dining with approachability, focusing on flavors that challenge Charlotte’s palate while embracing its neighborhood vibe. Highlights include crispy roast chicken with vegetable farcis and Asian-inspired touches like fish sauce and shio koji. The bar program is equally compelling, featuring a gin martini made with anchovy oil and Basque pepper brine. Roy believes Rada will resonate deeply with diners, offering something fresh yet familiar. This new spot, opened on Selwyn Avenue, invites locals to indulge in innovative cuisine and discover what they’ve been craving all along.
