Which designer do you agree with, which one is your favorite?
Light, layered, and quietly refined. ✨
This living space was designed to feel open and airy, with a mix of textures that bring depth to a neutral, timeless palette. Subtle pops of color and pattern add personality without overpowering the calm, minimalist aesthetic, while custom built-ins and curated accessories pull the whole space together with ease.

The quiet power of beautiful form. 🕊
These pieces play with shape and texture and are proof that even the smallest elements can hold the most interest. Artful, intentional, and quietly striking ✨️

✨ Meet Brielle Culbertson ✨
We’re so excited to welcome Brielle to the Dwell team! A recent graduate of the University of Northern Iowa 💜💛, where she majored in Interior Design and minored in Real Estate—giving her a strong foundation for creating thoughtful, functional spaces.
Brielle joins us as a Design Partner, working alongside Abby @abbycraighton_interiordesign to bring fresh ideas and personalized solutions to our clients. Her own style leans contemporary with a touch of Scandinavian simplicity, but she loves exploring all design aesthetics to craft spaces that truly reflect each client’s personality and lifestyle. Follow along on her design pages as well @briellec.interiors
When she’s not designing, you can find Brielle playing volleyball or spike ball, spending time with her pup Luffy 🐾, or planning her wedding for next year 💍.
Help us give her a warm welcome—we’re so lucky to have her on #TeamDwell!
