About Claire Blackwell

A North Carolina transplant from Florida, Claire Blackwell has always loved fashion and design. As a Design Consultant and a homemaker, she cherishes the little details that make the best memories, and her goal is to help each of her clients to do the same. “If I haven’t found the best furniture for your home, then I still have more work to do,” Claire said. “Every piece of furniture and accessory in your home tells a story, and you uniquely associate them with many memories. It’s my job to make those memories last.” Claire is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to flip their home or consider a few upgrades to their house before listing it. Her own home renovation and rebuild experience was the original inspiration for her career in interior design. Today, her experience of finding and transforming her home assists her clients and inspires them to take the house they have and turn it into something truly special and entirely personal.

Testimonials

Claire Blackwell went above and beyond to assist in my search for furniture. She was very knowledgeable, made me feel welcomed, and embodied the very definition of good customer service. I look forward to working with her in the future! —Lathan B.

In our first visit, we met Claire Blackwell who was incredible. She took the time to show us around & explain each item. She was very patient as we made selections. She continued to assist in the next few days even through the process of pick up.

Claire wasn't available on the day we returned to pick up our purchase but arranged for Victoria who did not disappoint. Also kudos to the receptionist at the corporate office who I met when I got lost, went over and beyond to help me to the correct location! —Steve R.

How did we get lucky on receiving such amazing service? I just wanted to say that Claire Blackwell is awesome and very knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed her service! Five stars for Claire!!!! —Kia & Younnia B.

I wanted to provide feedback concerning my recent interaction with Claire. She was recommended to me by a friend and I found her to be extremely helpful. She was very attentive to my needs, provided prompt responses in terms of ideas, pricing, availability and was a pleasure to work with. She is a great asset to your team and I will continue to work with her as we finish decorating our new Lake Home. I wanted to be sure that you received my feedback since we tend to overlook good service and should not take it for granted. Our furniture is due for delivery in the coming weeks and I expect that Claire will continue to monitor the order and insure that delivery goes well. - Laura R

We just want to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you. It is hard to believe that we ended up choosing 28 difference pieces with your valuable help in just 2 days. Your stamina and energy is to be admired. The 2 days with you were both fun and productive. You were easy to be with, and your knowledge of so many different product lines was especially helpful. In addition, we never felt pressured to select things too soon or items that were outside our budget. In fact, it was only later that we learned that you work totally on commission. You also kept us from locking in too soon on a particular piece by showing us yet another alternative that might fit our needs, and you kept us organized. Without you we would have just been wandering around and overwhelmed, which was definitely not the case. We also found your sense of style and design and what works together to form a whole without being boring to be refreshing. You definitely did not have a cookie cutter approach to helping us select furnishings for our new home. In short, we loved the experience and would highly recommend you to others. Thank you so much for your help and best wishes in the future. - Cheryl & Gary C.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Claire. She was very professional, kind and most of all patient! I am not the easiest person to deal with at times as I love to explore all my options before making a decision. She was happy to show me many options. She was also super responsive to all my texts and emails. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase new furniture. - Dana and Mike Y.

We had a great experience working with Claire Blackwell! Since we were not able to make it to the store, Claire had to work with us remotely, and she was such a great help in doing so!

We were so impressed, that we have already recommended Claire & FLS to our friends & family. —Marc & Jennifer W.

We working closely with designer Claire Blackwell online. When we decided to go to the store, Claire met with us and we were able to finalize purchase of several pieces in about 3 hours. Thanks for your help, Claire! —Chuck C.

We had a fantastic first experience at Furnitureland South, & we are so happy that we connected with Claire beforehand to kick off our living room redesign. Claire was very knowledgeable of what would go well in our space & how to maximize our seating, as we wanted to have more space for people to lounge while entertaining. We never felt pressured or pushed by Claire; she kept our budget in mind & recommended alternatives as we crept closer to it.

Claire was very patient as we weighed all of the different options & went back and forth on layout options. She even extended her time with us to go and pick different pillow fabric after we decided to add a rug to our order. We will definitely be using Furnitureland South & Claire for our future furniture projects! —Kristen B.

Great experience! Claire helped us find furniture for our new home on multiple occasions, and we love it all. She has been the best consultant! —Ivey W.

We spent nearly 5 hours with Claire Blackwell and found her to be incredibly knowledgeable about merchandise that FLS carried and had on display, plus she was considerate regarding our time and ability to absorb all that information over so many hours.

What we appreciate the most is the fact that we had very specific dimensions for the bedroom pieces because of limited space, and also taking in our preferred style, she showed us only pieces that fit our criteria and did not waste our time showing us things that would not work for us. In the end, we bought the ideal pieces for us. Prices were reasonable. We looked at other items and bought a leather loveseat as well — using specific criteria. We are happy with our purchases!

The showroom is laid out extremely well for ideal viewing, clean, neat and with covid protocol in place. We have purchased at FLS for nearly 2 decades because prices are reasonable, delivery and white glove service is well done. Would give this place & Claire more than 5 stars! —Geraldine D.

We were overwhelmed with the myriad of choices, but we had the good fortune to meet and work with Claire who navigated us through the floors of inventory as well as showing us additional options not physically there. We are extremely happy with the help we received and our purchases. Much thanks to Claire! —Joann B.

As always Claire Blackwell went above and beyond - on her day off, I might add - to assist in my purchase. She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and the very definition of customer service! —Lathan B.
