She designed a beautiful mid modern century interior, worked on landscapes, picked furnishings for us . She also designed pool and its surroundings. Because we lived out of state during the project , she managed all contractors as well. It was pleasure to work with Cheryl , her advice was always right on target and finished work was impeccable. We would highly recommend Cheryl for any house building or remodeling projects. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Marius & Daiva; it was an absolute pleasure creating your respite. ### All 50 reviews **★★★★★ — Kiyo Tukman, Dec. 2025** > I highly recommend Tuck-Bernstein Design to those who want to beautify their home! Cheryl has great ideas, a good eye, is incredibly organized, completely reliable, listens and follows the client's wishes/needs, and keeps everyone on task! Tuck-Bernstein Design encompasses much more than I expected, Cheryl offers a team of builders/subs and manages the project, she can come to the project solely as the designer, or anything in between. The client works out just what they want with Tuck-Bernstein Design. For our home project she came on board early on as we were deciding what the remodel would entail and saw us through not just what changes were made inside our home, but details to the outside, including our landscape/property. She has a knack for keeping track of the long list of "to dos" for the "big picture," as well as the myriad minute details- which is vital to achieve a successful home project and happy client. As with any remodel a home-owner can get overwhelmed, but Cheryl always kept a level-head and because of her impeccable organizational skills and follow-through, my worries were quickly alleviated. Tuck-Bernstein Design was a joy to work with on this project and I happily recommend "TBD" to others! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Kiyo - just getting on line after the holiday weekend. Thank you so very much for the kind review. I absolutely loved work on your home renovation with you and Mark. Enjoy the holiday season relaxing in your fabulous home. **★★★★★ — Ravenna Tile, Dec. 2025** > Working with Cheryl has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

Every decision she makes is thoughtful, intentional, and perfectly tailored to the space. > > She takes the time to truly understand her clients, listens closely, communicates clearly, and brings a sense of calm, confidence, and vision that makes the entire process enjoyable. > > As a tradesperson, I’ve collaborated with many designers, but Cheryl truly stands out. She elevates every project she touches and sets a standard that is inspiring to work alongside. > > I highly recommend Cheryl Bernstein to anyone seeking a designer who is not only exceptionally talented, but also a joy to work with. She is truly one of the best in the industry. > > Photo's to follow! > > -Eduardo Cruz > Owner > Ravenna Tile **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Ditto! You are an absolute pleasure to work with. Excellent Team player -- precision work and I am looking forward to working with you on our next project Eddy **★★★★★ — Allen Fontanez Gudmundson, Dec. 2025** > Working with Cheryl on my daughter Lola’s bedroom was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Her talent, attention to detail, and ability to truly understand our vision exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how she blended beauty, functionality, and a sense of calm into a space meant for a young child with unique needs. Every choice—from colors to textures to layout—was intentional and thoughtfully curated. > > Cheryl communicated clearly throughout the entire process, guided us through decisions with expertise, and made the project feel effortless on our side. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. The end result is a stunning, warm, and meaningful room that Lola absolutely loves—and that we as parents are incredibly grateful for. > > I highly recommend Cheryl and Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC to anyone looking for a designer who listens deeply, brings creative vision to life, and transforms spaces with heart and purpose. We could not be happier with the outcome. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > What a sweet sweet little girls room and I'm expecting Ms. Lola will enjoy it for years to come!! I just loved working with you Allen and I look forward to the next project with you & your family. **★★★★★ — Outside the Box, Nov. 2025** > I recently had the pleasure of coordinating with and drafting for Cheryl, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made every phase of the project run smoothly. > > Not only was the quality of their design work outstanding, but the working relationship was equally impressive—collaborative, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. They consistently delivered on time, understood the vision, and elevated the outcome with thoughtful, creative solutions. > > I would confidently recommend Cheryl for any project, whether it’s a simple remodel or a full new-construction build. Truly a top-tier designer and a fantastic partner to work with. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Hi Seth - Thank you for your kind words; I absolutely adore working with you. It's a great collaboration. Cheryl **★★★★★ — George Montgomery, Jan. 2025** > We have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl Tuck-Bernstein for nearly a decade, and we could not be more thrilled with the results. Cheryl is an incredibly talented interior designer with a keen eye for both style and functionality. Over the years, she has designed multiple rooms in our home, from the interior spaces to the exterior, and each project has exceeded our expectations. Her ability to blend beauty with practicality is truly unmatched, and she always manages to bring a fresh, yet timeless perspective to every space. > What sets Cheryl apart is her confidence in her design choices. She has an intuitive understanding of our tastes and knows exactly how to push boundaries in ways that still feel true to our style. Her professionalism and attention to detail make the entire process smooth and enjoyable, and we always look forward to collaborating with her. It’s rare to find a designer with both the vision and the ability to execute it flawlessly, and we are so grateful for the exceptional work Cheryl has done in our home over the years. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > George & Jodi - I have loved working with the two of you! Your home has really transitioned over the years and it's been wonderful to add new things to the existing layout. Thank you for the opportunity -- very excited to see the new entry come to life. **★★★★★ — Justin Perry, Dec. 2024** > I have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl for almost 5 years now, and the experience is always fantastic! She is incredibly easy to collaborate with, always considering her client's opinions and offering her expert insight. Her eye for color and overall style is exceptional, creating a space that feels both stylish and cohesive. Beyond her design skills, she is friendly, approachable, and makes clients feel truly comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and personable designer! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Justin! I love collaborating with you, and the styles at Ceramic Tile Center bring my clients style and affordability. **★★★★★ — Heather, Dec. 2024** > Cheryl is very talented and great to work with, very professional and a great person. I would recommend her to anyone looking for design services! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Heather it is always great to reconnect with you on my client projects. True professional and I trust your input with my clients. **★★★★★ — Heidi Hartman, Dec. 2024** > I have worked with Cheryl for over 4 years on several projects that have included indoor and outdoor kitchens, baths and outdoor showers. Cheryl is very creative in her designs and the products she uses. She has the ability to turn any room or area into an oasis because of her innovative designs and her attention to details. Cheryl is a joy to work with. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Heidi, you know you are my "go to" for sourcing and pulling together my client projects. You are a great resource and PBK is lucky to have someone so knowledgeable about their products. Thank you for all you do on our behalf. **★★★★★ — HU-80614928, Dec. 2024** > Cheryl has led several projects in our home. Most recently we installed a Mitsubishi split heating and cooling system throughout. The home did not have an existing system or duct work so this on demand system by room was a perfect solution. We also took the opportunity to improve the insulation in our attic and added safe walkways and areas for storage. The final piece included the details and information needed for all eligible rebates. > > Cheryl has excellent creative vision and integrates that with exceptional operational and project management skills to execute with efficiency. She sets high standards with all of the contractors and teams she works with. She ensures they are properly set up each day and reviews their progress throughout the day as needed. No project is complete until every aspect is inspected and every last remnant of project dust is cleaned up. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Don! Always a pleasure working with you & Rob **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2023** > Cheryl plowed through a huge exterior renovation in 6 months- insane amount of concrete poured, new roof, house painted, landscaping including irrigation and lighting. No way could I have brought the best contractors together at the speed and quality. Hiring Cheryl will make your life easy! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thanks Jen! Super project - enjoy your great outdoors! Can’t wait to see your cherry trees blossoming come Spring. **★★★★★ — s\_wetter10, Dec. 2022** > We worked with Cheryl to build an ad hoc office space with a half bath in our backyard. From the start, Cheryl has been a dream. She guided us with a vision of what the space could be and then moved us through the various stages. There were multiple complications related to setback requirements, permitting, and electric panel upgrades, and Cheryl led the way to solutions, navigating the conversations with the city, utility, and contractors/subcontractors. Her enthusiasm and expertise are incredibly valuable and appreciated. > > Without Cheryl, we likely would not have gotten this project done and certainly would not have had such a good experience. She took away the stress, tackled any issues and actions, and helped us feel supported and heard. In addition, she was mindful of our budget, timeline, and design needs. > > Now we are thoroughly enjoying the space to work remotely, host guests, and feel just a little less cramped in our own home. We highly recommend Cheryl and thank her for all her hard work on our project! **★★★★★ — Villa Terrazza Patio & Home, Oct. 2022** > Great Design Sense Combined With Superior Project Management! > > We own a furniture store and posess in-house design skills. However, certain projects have too many variables to juggle, and we wanted more expertiese than we bring to the table. We were gutting our primary living space/kitchen. We had picked out a (pretty wild!) granite slab as the centerpiece of a kitchen island. There were WAY TOO MANY surfaces to coordinate (cabinetry color(s), wall color, countertops, flooring, lighting, backsplash, appliances, etc. We wanted a HOME RUN, so we called Cheryl. She delivered. Even though we had already selected a GC, Cheryl took the reigns of the project so I didnt have to, and kept the schedule moving along, and ensuring the subs had what they needed when they needed it. A project like ours had a zilliion little details, Cheryl managed all of them. I had very definite ideas what we wanted, Cheryl told me 'No' when appropriate (she saves me from myself!), but mostly made our dream kitchen happen within the constraints of the not-large-enough space. Every detail is magnificaent, right down to the disappearing workstations adjacent to the prep areas. Integrated refrigerators & appliances, a custom vent hood, and a faucet that Wows everyone that sees it, every cabinetry bell-and-whistle is in our caabinetry, right down to pull-down easy-acccess upper shelving and pull-out concealed stepstools (only take up 1" of space in the base cabinet!) for the vertically challenged! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Mike & Theresa - you were fabulous to work with. Total pleasure!! and thank you for the kind words. Cheryl **★★★★★ — HU-899402618, Oct. 2022** > Cheryl helped us to update a previously quickly converted garage into a beautiful retreat for our kids with custom built-in bunks, the addition of a lovely bathroom, new flooring, skylights, and some clever teen-appropriate details. Cheryl was very transparent with her communication, was both clear with her design perspective while inclusive of our input, and respected our budget from start to finish. She leveraged her network to bring in a great contractor and managed the process with him to the last detail. We’re very happy with the result! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Jonah & Lena. Super cute space - hope the girls and their friends enjoy it. **★★★★★ — HU-790092582, Oct. 2022** > Cheryl is very dedicated to her clients and they come first on every project...She is very detail orientated and puts her clients wants front & center of every job. She gets jobs in on schedule, which saves homeowners money in the long run! Cheryl will be there from start to finish, so you won't have to deal with the stress of running a project on your own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding designer that is fun to work with! **★★★★★ — David Ashley, Dec. 2020** > We have been working with Cheryl on a multi structure home project in Sonoma, CA. My favorite part is the party barn containing our bar and entertaining area, Cheryl has listened well to what I am looking for and has created a truly functional and unique space. Her creativity in bringing in the authentic barn features while building an innovative space for friends and family to gather has truly been amazing to watch. We are looking forward to completion in mid 2021. Thank you Cheryl! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > The pleasure is all mine; you and Karen are a delight to work with. Very excited for setting the stage with the Main House furnishings. It will be a fun, comfortable place to relax and entertain family & friends. Honored to be part of the process. **★★★★★ — Mel, Dec. 2020** > Cheryl is an extremely talented and professional designer. Throughout the design process she was incredibly collaborative with another design firm. She was able to source and secure discontinued items in a timely manner. She was very easy to work with and open to suggestions. I would highly recommend Cheryl and would work with her again. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Sater, Dec. 2019** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Cheryl from Tuck-Bernstein Design, for my relocation to Long Island, and the design of my new apartment. With limited space, and budget, Cheryl's design ideas we top notch, in transforming it into my perfect "she" shed! Everything was well coordinated between painters, window treatment installation, and delivery and set up of furniture. I couldn't have asked for more in finding this truly professional team! **★★★★★ — Mark Sater, Dec. 2018** > Cheryl made me Feel confident within 5 Minutes. Discussions of form and function and her exquisite Ideas left me anxious for completion. Some Professionals just Get It . > Cheryl Gets it!! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Mark. Really appreciate the review and it was great working with you and Sue. **★★★★★ — HU-326218036, Dec. 2018** > Cheryl is not only creative but she listens! She was able to use our taste and her professional eye for design to create a wonderful space for our family. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you! Hope to see you after the holiday season. Cheryl **★★★★★ — J V, Dec. 2017** > Cheryl is a delight to work with. She’s creative, budget conscious and has a wealth of design knowledge to draw from. She’s a great communicator and simplifies a process that without her help would have been overwhelming for us. Cheryl is one of the few designers we’ve worked with who has emboldened us to feel comfortable with adding some color to our interior space. With Cheryl’s guidance and expertise our home is harmonious and a pleasure to be in. We trust her and are grateful for her vision and professionalism. Thank you Cheryl! **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Judy. Always love working with you. See you in the New Year. **★★★★★ — Brandon Lederer, Nov. 2017** > We hired Tuck-Bernstein Design to design a wine cellar and cabinetry for our extensive collection. The entire project was created out of a combination of walnut and African wood. The contracting team she hired was wonderful. Plus we did an amazing sound system in the space.They delivered the project on time. We loved working with Cheryl and her team and plan to continue working with them on a future project. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Brandon! Look forward to seeing you soon. Cheryl **★★★★★ — Kim Ivy, Nov. 2017** > I have hired Cheryl and Tuck-Bernstein Design for 3 apts already: upper New York, Manhattan and now San Rafael, CA...obviously we love her work and the ease of working with Cheryl that we chose to hire her again. Her use of color is wonderfully refreshing! and she listens to what we are interested in seeing in our design scheme. We wanted an ecclectic look that incorporated color, pattern and luxurious fabrics. We also have pets so the design scheme needed to be pet friendly. Enjoyed the project and love our home. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Appreciate the review Kim; look forward to working with you to complete the project. Cheryl **★★★★★ — Tom Bishop, Nov. 2017** > I hired Tuck-Bernstein Design when I moved from New York to Los Angeles. Cheryl did layouts for our 2 bedroom apartment which included furnishing the entire space: great room, dining room, kitchen and 2 large bedrooms. The process was easy – Cheryl did a full design scheme for us (paint colors, furnishings, fabric schemes and lighting). Enjoyed the process, stayed on budget and I would hire them again in the future. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Loved working with you on your home design. Looking forward to designing for you again soon. **★★★★★ — Lianne Wong, Nov. 2017** > Loved having Cheryl design my brand new chef’s kitchen. She recommended and worked with a lot of local suppliers including Heath tile for the counter-to-ceiling backsplash which makes a huge statement as guests arrive. We used top of the line appliances where it counted (stove, convection oven, hood) and open shelving – which I absolutely love; the shelves are thick and painted neutral in style. The island is large and was done in a contrasting color; she combined a thick, granite slab with a dark stained walnut finish. The entire room is very approachable – our friends love hanging out at the island while we cook. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Lianne! Looking forward to working with you on your new place. **★★★★★ — yyasui, Oct. 2016** > We were introduced to Ayesha by our realtor for our kitchen remodeling and bathroom extension. The work she and Katie provided to us was superb and we are very grateful. While we had limited space, we had dreams/requests that were difficult to incorporate. They gave us multiple good ideas/plans and we worked together: they listened our wishes and tried hard to make them come true. We cannot be happier with the outcomes of both kitchen and bathroom: they are functional and beautiful. Ayesha has a great sense and ideas of functionality and beauty. She is very practical and easy to work with. THANK YOU, Ayesha and Katie! **★★★★★ — clba27, Sept. 2016** > I hired Tb Design o help clarify my vision for the living room of my home and complete the design. Cheryl understood my vision and need to include family heirlooms in the design. She worked timely and expertly to finish a room that flows seamlessly with the rest of my home. I am especially pleased with the cabinet she designed for that room. Her many hours of design and finding the perfect person to implement the project was amazing. Cheryl Tuck- Bernstein is a delight to work with and a real professional. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Cheryl you are a total joy to work with.

Under Cheryl's direction, my studio apartment was made to feel very spacious. The ceilings seem higher, the rooms wider. Best of all, it didn't take very long for Cheryl to "get" me, my lifestyle, personality, and my priorities in terms of getting the work done on time and under budget. My apartment -- while I had help -- reflects who I am and what I value. **★★★★★ — kathrynjoz, Aug. 2016** > Thank you so much for creating such a warm and beautiful living space for my family. the design specifically the colors has brightened my home.

Cheryl walked in and immediately made several suggestions that had me excited at the prospect of taking on this massive project. She blended what I needed with a creative and imaginative approach that resulted in a kitchen and dining room I love. We were so pleased with the end result that she is now working with us on redesigning the living room and media room. Love her energy and creativity. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Very sweet! Loved working with you too.

Looking forward to whatever you and your family have coming up next. Enjoy! Cheryl **★★★★★ — jenwolf, Aug. 2015** > I can't say enough great things about my experience with Tuck-Bernstein Design. I live in a 1920's tudor home and I needed help keeping with the design and Cheryl hit the nail on the head. We did both my living room and dining room and while keeping with the style of the house it is also timeless. I could not have asked for a better designer. All my thanks goes to Cheryl. She knew how easily get overwhelmed with all the choices but she made this experience such a pleasure and pointed out things I would never have thought of. I would have her do my whole house if I could. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Thank you Jen. Looking forward to working with you on your kitchen design. xo Cheryl **★★★★★ — shantieharkisoon, June 2015** > Cheryl listens. My husband and I are diametrically opposed customers: I'm completely hands-off and he's involved in every minute detail and Cheryl was able to listen to both of us, work with my husband on every detail (to his satisfaction) and come up with a result that was the best combination for us. > > We have consulted with Tuck-Bernstein Design since we bought our home and have made several modifications, including the repainting of our entire home, addition of a bed/bath, complete redesign of our living room, including the addition of a fireplace, and redesign of a loft into a luxurious office. I couldn't be happier. The colors, textures, materials, furniture, lighting, design and the entire home turned out better than we could have imagined and reflects who we are and what we dreamed of. Our home has been transformed into a beautiful, tranquil haven and our guests experience it that way as well. > > Cheryl works painstakingly to listen to her customers' wishes, carefully selecting items based on those wishes, reviewing and re-reviewing options as many times as needed, and then creating an overall design, collaborating with contractors and holding them accountable, until the job is completed in a timely manner. She has been consistently conscious of our budget and time frame and was able to give us the best value for our investment. And throughout the process, Cheryl was reliably cheerful, patient, understanding, optimistic, encouraging and much more. It is clear that Tuck-Bernstein comes with tremendous experience and we will continue to work with Cheryl and recommend her to anyone. **Comment from Tuck-Bernstein Design, LLC:** > Shantie, thank you so very much for your kind words.

I moved into a beach house with limited space and white ceramic tiles. I moved from a house twice the size with heavy, gold-toned, ornate Mediterrean furniture. Cheryl used dramatic paint colors to mix the eclectic array of things I had. What started as a short-term living environment became the house my children felt most comfortable living in. Each room was perfectly balanced, despite the odd array of things I wanted to "make work". She helped me transform a white box into a warm, updated, cohesive enclave of special treasures. Cheryl was a take charge person, who understood the feeling I wanted to achieve, and made it happen. She made the whole decorating process a pleasurable experience, and did everything for me - including the purchase of new pots and pans!!!!! **★★★★ — Metropolitan Lighting, Sept. 2014** > Cheryl-Tuck Bernstein has been a customer of our showroom for several years.

I am a Mom to 2 teenage boys and work full time in NYC. My very busy schedule leaves me very little time to do anything, including updating my house, which was in desperate need for a makeover. > My home makeover project started with Cheryl asking me preferences about my style, and color and material preferences. Within a few days, Cheryl came to my office with a suitcase full of samples, and pictures with furniture options, which she and Sue had put together based on my preferences. Cheryl laid out all of the samples, and we went over the options. Cheryl is so knowledgeable and was so in tune with my preferences, that picking out the materials for my house was fun and exciting! Within a few weeks, Sue contacted me to let me know the materials came in, and we set up an appointment for the makeover to take place. I was actually working the day that Cheryl & Sue did the makeover, and I couldn’t wait to get home to see the changes. My sons got home before I did, and they called me to say how GREAT everything looked, and that I would love it! When I finally got home and walked into my house, I was beyond THRILLED!! My house finally looked like a HOME - very warm and inviting!! You would never know that a total makeover was completed in one day as the house was spotless!

It gave us an opportunity to make our templates placing the veining where it would be noticed and enjoyed for it's natural beauty. I look forward to hearing back from you to see what you selected for your space. Thank you for your interest. Cheryl --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-24.*
