ABOUT NY&H

At Newport Yacht & Home, we are focused on providing interior design, furnishings, décor and renovation services with the highest levels of customer satisfaction and design innovation. An on site Designer Fabric Showroom allows Newport Yacht & Home to streamline the design and fabric selection to insure your project begins in a timely manner. We cater to a local residential and a global yachting clientele, delivering exceptional interior design and outfitting services for the yacht and/or home owner, builder, architect and OEM market.

"Cheryl has a unique eye for design; she is innovative, creative, and no detail escapes her. She finds the individual personality of each client so each design is not another cookie cutter design, but a true reflection of the owners' identity and taste, integrated with refreshing ideas that create something personal and inviting. When working with us on production yacht interiors, she has a flair for fabrics that appeal to many but include stand-out detail features to make them show stoppers. Cheryl is organized, responsive and her enthusiasm makes the design process an experience, not a project."
