"A space should tell you what it needs before you tell it what to be"

Portrait of Cecilia Carolini
The designer

Meet the designer

Cecilia Carolini holds a degree in architecture and interior design, is NKBA certified, and has been an IIDA member for the past five years. Her approach is unusual in the industry: she designs from the space outward, studying how clients move through their rooms before proposing a single piece of furniture. The result is interiors that look intentional because they are -- every choice tied to how you actually use the room.

Before starting her own practice, Cecilia studied architecture and interior design, earning her bachelor's degree and building the technical foundation that still shapes every project she takes on. But it was early in her career that she noticed something that bothered her: too many designers arrived with a predetermined vision and tried to make the space fit it. Rooms that looked striking in renders felt wrong to live in. She decided to work the other way around. Carolini Interior Design was founded on the idea that a space should tell you what it needs before you tell it what to be.
