Outdoor Living
Designing for the seasons — making the outdoor room work year-round
From the Carolina spring to the soft autumn light, how to plan a terrace, garden, or pool space that earns its second and third act.

White-glove interior design & outdoor living for homes that reflect who you are — not who someone else imagined you to be.
Our Philosophy
We do not design simply for aesthetics. We design the experience of coming home — spaces thoughtfully created to feel personal, effortless, and deeply connected to the way you live.
By bringing interior design and outdoor living together under one vision, Carol Medrado creates homes with a seamless sense of flow, where every environment feels intentional, refined, and fully connected.

Each project begins with a conversation about how you live — and ends with a home that feels deeply connected to who you are.

How I Work
I lead every project personally, from the first conversation to the final detail — across residential interiors, full-home design, outdoor living, and select commercial spaces.
It begins with a conversation about how you actually live — your routines, your taste, the way you want a space to feel.
A cohesive vision takes shape — layout, materials, palette, and furnishings chosen for your home, refined until it feels unmistakably yours.
I manage the details — sourcing, vendors, and the people who bring it to life — so you never have to translate between trades.
Client Stories
About Carol
I have always been a professional who works with people, and I learn something new from every client. My greatest joy lies in working with people — engaging with their daily routines and dreams — and in understanding the unique character of each family, every home, and every project. My true fulfillment comes from being able to, in some way, positively transform the lives of those who cross my path.
My work encompasses complete residential projects, outdoor living areas, and commercial spaces, as well as renovations and collaborations with home builders — projects that are always fully integrated, highly personalized, and finished down to the very last detail.
What clients remember most is neither the furniture nor the colors. It is the moment they step through the door of their completed home for the very first time and feel a profound sense of comfort, belonging, and emotional connection.
