SHERYL BLEUSTEIN INTERIORS BY SBI
Creating Beautiful, Functional, Timeless Spaces
Sheryl Bleustein is the founder of Interiors By SBI, a renowned design firm based in South Florida. Over her 30-plus-year career in the industry, Sheryl has earned a reputation for her unique style, attention to detail, and exceptional client service.
Sheryl launched Interiors By SBI in 1996 with a dream. She quickly and fiercely began hustling her way into the industry at only 20 years old, in search of her first client. She began the old-fashioned way — knocking on doors, talking to developers and builders, and attending all networking events in the industry. Sheryl’s 24/7 commitment to design was going to help land her a first client. Little did she know, this client was going to make her dream a reality...
Sheryl’s first client, a wealthy woman with several homes, hired her to take on a large project. “She saw my talent and had me do all of her homes,” says Sheryl. “It all started by doing her projects, and word got around.” Sherylʼs hard work and dedication to succeeding in the interior design field soon paid off.
Since the completion of her first project, Interiors By SBI has been commissioned to high-end residential and commercial projects globally. Sheryl is known for running a tight ship… This is why her designs are characterized by a keen attention to detail, a deep understanding of materials, and a commitment to creating spaces that are beautifully timeless, functional, and totally badass.
The company has since become a go-to destination for individuals seeking bespoke interior design solutions. The clientele includes many high-profile celebrities, athletes, executives, CEOs, politicians, and everyday clients who are looking for a change. Sherylʼs ambition and dedication to the field of design is what has led her to high-end success. Her traditional way of business in a modern industry has earned her a boutique designer status.
Sheryl's design philosophy is centered around creating spaces that are beautiful, functional and timeless. She believes that a well-designed space should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also enhance the lives of those who inhabit it. “My goal is to be as transparent as possible. Whether itʼs good news or bad news, my client deserves to know,” Sheryl says. “I always approach a problem with three different solutions.”
Sheryl takes the time to get to know each and every one of her clients on a personal level to really understand their lifestyle. By taking the time to understand her clients' needs and desires, she is able to work closely with them to create a tailored design solution for each individual client. “Attention to detail is the key to outstanding client satisfaction. I’m always listening to my clients and what they want — even if itʼs at 4 a.m., venting about life.”
Interiors By SBI's portfolio features a diverse range of projects, from luxurious apartments in Manhattan to trendy penthouses in South Florida, surfer dude Malibu estates and chic office spaces in Trump Plaza. The company has a knack for blending classic and modern design elements to create timeless spaces that are elegant, inviting and approachable. Sheryl’s rule is “No home is tip-toed around. Each space and every detail receives 100 percent of my attention.”
Sheryl has a different approach to her projects than most designers. If Sheryl takes on a project, she will only be found on the site of that job. “Iʼm the designer that has her hair in a ponytail; there is no fanciness about me,” she says. “I do my paperwork at night when everyone is sleeping so I can be on the job when the trades are working.” Sheryl never takes on more than she can handle; she stays dedicated to one individual project at a time to ensure the best outcome for every client.
Commitment to sustainability is another notable aspect of Sherylʼs work. She is passionate about using earth-conscious materials and incorporating sustainable practices into her designs whenever possible. Sheryl believes that design can play a role in reducing our impact on the environment and that sustainability can enhance the beauty of a space.
Sheryl has learned, through the years, that sometimes the best clients are the ones to walk away from. “I build relationships with all my clients, but Iʼm blessed that I have come far enough to be selective.” Sheryl reassures, “It’s not about the money; it’s about being able to check all of the clients' boxes.”
Sheryl Bleustein and Interiors By SBI have made a significant impact on the interior design industry. Their unique design philosophy of personalized, environmentally responsible design solutions and dedication to client service have earned them a loyal following and a reputation as one of the top interior designers in the world. With her continued commitment to excellence and sustainability, Sheryl is sure to remain a leading figure in the design world for years to come.
