Why Carington
Great design should
simplify life.
A home should feel like a place where you belong—a getaway from the outside world where you can fully be yourself. We pay attention to how you move through your space, what gets in your way, and what would make everyday life easier.
Then we turn those routines into a home that is functional, comfortable, durable, and beautiful. Not a copy of someone else's house. Not a trend that needs to be replaced in a few years. A home designed specifically for you.
What we protect
Beauty should support life—not compete with it.
- 01
Every room should be optimized to serve the people living in it.
- 02
Comfort and functionality are never sacrificed for aesthetics.
- 03
Materials should fit the client's needs and be built to last.
- 04
Every project begins fresh. We never do copy-and-paste design.
The Carington Method
A clearer way to create a personal home.
Our method helps us make thoughtful decisions without overcomplicating the process. It guides the design, the project experience, and the standards every member of our team is expected to protect.
Simplify
We identify patterns, reduce friction, organize choices, and remove unnecessary complexity.
Elevate
We turn everyday routines and practical needs into thoughtful, elegant experiences.
Endure
We choose durable materials and timeless ideas that should still feel right years from now.
Belong
We deliver a home that feels personal, comfortable, and completely yours.
Selected Work
The Orrego
Home.
A study in warmth, natural materials, strong proportions, and spaces designed to feel calm without feeling empty.
Services
Whole-home design with every detail considered.
We focus on residential projects where thoughtful planning, architectural collaboration, lasting materials, and an organized process matter. Furnishings complete the vision, but the work begins with how the home should function.
New Construction
Interior direction from early planning through layouts, finishes, material selections, construction support, and final installation.
Whole-Home Renovation
A complete rethinking of function, flow, materials, and visual continuity so the home works better and feels cohesive.
Furnishing & Styling
A supporting service that completes the full design through furniture, lighting, textiles, art, accessories, and installation.
The Client Experience
Organized from the first inquiry to the final handoff.
You should not have to coordinate every player, track every detail, or sort through hundreds of disconnected options. We curate, organize, and communicate decisions clearly so the project feels manageable from beginning to end.
Inquiry & Consultation
We first qualify the project, then move into a paid consultation. The consultation fee is applied toward the design engagement.
Proposal & Design
We define scope, formalize the agreement, study your routines, and develop the design through organized presentations.
Approval & Execution
You approve the design before procurement. We then support purchasing, coordination, construction, and installation.
Reveal & Handoff
The finished home is revealed, followed by a tailored care and warranty package and a scheduled follow-up.
About the Founder
Creative direction with a systems-focused mind.
Cristina Orrego founded Carington Interiors to create deeply personal homes without making clients carry the weight of the process. Her industrial engineering background shapes the way the firm studies routines, organizes complex decisions, and coordinates the moving parts behind a renovation or new build.
Her role is to protect the vision, select the right projects, and make sure every home feels fresh, functional, timeless, and worthy of the Carington name.
The Carington Standard
Diligent. Timeless. Tailored. Human. Elevated.
We come prepared. We understand before we design. We bring possible solutions—not just problems. We protect the client's trust, and we leave every project, process, and relationship better than we found it.
