ABOUT I am Cherrie Pieper. Painter & Decorator, Colour Consultant and Interior Designer combining 15 years experience. I understand what makes a space work for a particular purpose whether it is a residence or a commercial environment. Ultimately design has a lot to do with people’s emotions, how they feel and how they engage with others within a space. I am here to work closely with you in bringing to light, exploring & unearthing these emotions to achieve the confidence in creating that space you have always wanted yet felt unsure of where to start. From concept to creation, I am here every step of the way. From a beach house in a coastal part of Victoria to a much-loved family home in the city to the restoration of a heritage icon to a corporate entity. From meeting the needs of families at various stages in their lives, for a family caring for a loved one who has a disability right through to the elderly years, I can encompass the importance of functionality, affordability, sustainability whilst delivering to the highest of standards in a professional and trusting manner. CP Designs are committed to making it simpler and easier for clients to access multiple services which means that you can get all you need in just “one stop” instead of having to call all over town to attain related services by different providers. Quickly I embarked on the journey of establishing my own small business, supporting & mentoring many other females who wanted to join me in a trade profession. I saw great opportunities for me to increase diversity within the workforce. As I built on my skills and knowledge, I realised that a lot of what I do goes hand in hand with other trades and services that are offered within the construction industry. That’s why I undertook studies to create multiple businesses that work in conjunction with one another.

The only way to successfully do this is to physically apply paint to the surface as this will give you the most accurate result. The space of the room, current furnishings, lighting, flooring can all but change the appearance of the colour, so getting it right from the start will save you much time and money. With 15 years experience in painting & decorating I have used many colours and helped many of my clients in selecting what best works for them. Firstly we create a colour scheme based on your preference to understand the interstices between yourself and space. We take the ideas from colour swatches, cards and palettes which gives us a base to work with. Followed by that is the physical application from paint sample pots to various surfaces and spaces to achieve that desired look. I apply 2 coats let it dry and allow you time to think about the colours choices and if you are still not happy we continue to apply more paint colours until you are.
