In the premiere of What Makes This Design Great?, designer Sherry Millien of Terravista Interior Design Group teams up with host Nadine Gol of NGPlatinum Homes to reveal the transformation of a cluttered, uninspiring home office into a beautifully functional workspace.

The client — a busy professional — needed a calm, organized environment that could support both focus and creativity. Sherry's design centered on a warm, inviting color palette featuring Sherwin Williams’ Mindful Gray cabinetry, accented with blush tones for a soft, feminine touch.

Lighting played a major role in the makeover. A combination of recessed lights, a statement chandelier, and elegant sconces created a bright, balanced atmosphere. A timeless desk and an eye-catching animal print rug added character without sacrificing function.

Storage was key. Customized cabinetry with adjustable shelves brought order to chaos, while classic Shaker-style doors ensured the space stayed stylish. Carefully chosen lamps and thoughtful details completed the look, blending form with function.

This transformation is a perfect example of how strategic design choices can enhance both beauty and practicality in everyday spaces.

There’s more to the story—join Sherry and Nadine on YouTube as they talk through every design decision behind this transformation.
