As both an interior designer and licensed general contractor, Cheryl Kuhlman, the founder and principal of CK Design, LLC, provides an unparalleled and seamless remodeling experience. With over two decades of experience transforming homes within South Central Wisconsin’s Lake Country region, Cherly leverages her extensive expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and innovative "Design First" approach to bring each client’s vision to life. Acknowledging the limitations of conventional design-build models, she has structured her firm to directly manage every facet of a project. This integrated approach, encompassing design, project management, general contracting, and established contractor affiliations, ensures complete control from initial concept through final execution, fostering a cohesive and client-focused process.

 

Cheryl Kuhlman's journey in interior design began with a passion for creativity and a desire to truly understand the business. Starting by offering free design services, she honed her skills in decorative techniques, furniture arrangements, and later, the intricacies of fabrics and complete room designs. This led her to transition from a decorator to a designer, delving into architectural elements, blueprint reading, and collaborating with architects and builders. Her experience includes high-end custom projects, like a penthouse with unique moving panels, which further solidified her understanding of the intersection of design and construction.

 

Today, Cheryl's passion lies in creating transformative spaces that not only reflect her client's vision but also meet their needs beyond expectation. She no longer simply offers paint colors but manages entire remodeling projects, ensuring that her clients’ homes are beautiful, functional, and completed with the highest standards of quality. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that design is a partnership, and she is committed to creating spaces that truly enhance her client's lives.
