What Isabella does

Isabella is a privately held home furnishings boutique and interior design studio headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, founded circa 2000 and operated by owner Erin. The business is built around a single physical showroom at 115 Cherokee Rd in the Myers Park neighborhood, complemented by a direct-to-consumer Shopify e-commerce storefront at isabella-style.myshopify.com. Its product portfolio centers on fine linens (bed, bath, table), custom draperies and pillows, curated home decor, original artwork from regional artists, rugs, lighting, and coffee table books, with furniture reupholstery offered as an adjacent service. The technology footprint is intentionally minimal — a WordPress marketing site and Shopify commerce platform with no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI integrations — reflecting a service-led, experiential retail model rather than a software or platform business.

The company operates three coordinated revenue streams. First, full-service interior design projects are sold at tiered price points of $20,000-$40,000 for standard 3-4 room or renovation scopes and $40,000+ for entire-home or extensive new construction engagements. Second, smaller-scale in-store and virtual appointments (bedding selection, custom pillows, wallpaper, rug curation, bookshelf styling) serve as a lower-ticket entry point. Third, retail product sales run through both the physical showroom and Shopify storefront. A To The Trade program extends wholesale pricing to credentialed interior designers, adding a B2B channel beyond the core residential homeowner customer base. Marketing relies on Instagram (@isabellastylenc), a blog featuring artist spotlights and design tips, Pinterest, and an email newsletter, with no evidence of paid acquisition, institutional investment, or multi-location expansion. The operating geography remains the Southeast US, anchored by Charlotte.
