A true guest escape playing into classic 1900s motifs in the modern era. The Asian-inspired toile wallpaper sets the tone yet is enhanced with a classic jeweled tone color story. Brass accents throughout, including the statement crystal chandelier that draws you in from the door.

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!
