“I prefer a room that feels slightly unfinished; it preserves the beautiful excitement of ‘what if...’ ”
Award-winning interior designer Cheryl Dempsey creates highly curated residences defined by a sense of understated luxury and effortless warmth. Renowned for her ability to compose spaces that feel organic yet refined, Cheryl masterfully balances humble, tactile textures with rare, foundational antiques and clean modern silhouettes.
Cheryl’s distinct design vernacular is shaped by her bicoastal lifestyle, dividing her time between New York and Arizona. Her work reflects this geographical fluidity, merging the sophisticated edge of Manhattan with the sun-drenched, sweeping landscapes of the Southwest—all grounded by the authentic warmth of her Midwestern heritage.
A recipient of the prestigious Luxe RED Award from Luxe Interiors + Design Magazine, Cheryl’s discerning eye has made her a sought-after voice in the industry. Her work has been featured across prominent design authorities, including Phoenix Magazine, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine (including their exclusive House Tour), Martha Stewart Living, the New York Times, as well as the feature film The Hoax.
