Carmelina Barreto Interiors

As a small woman-owned business, my passion for what I do shines through, even on a modest budget. I enlisted Carmelina to design my third waxing studio, aiming to establish a benchmark for future locations and potentially pave the way for a franchise model. She perfectly captured and executed my vision. By refining the designs from my first two locations, she maintained the distinctive HOTWAX ambiance. As a business owner, walking into my new space felt like Christmas—with its glamorous new artwork, flooring, lighting, walls, signage, and seamless flow! I'm thrilled to have found Carmelina!

Carm was A+ when it came to the design and vision for our needs! Would recommend and use for any future design needs.

From the moment I met Carm, I knew I was in good hands. We were doing an office “makeover” in Wilmington DE (I work in Boston). I flew out to meet her within days of our first conversation. She was immediately energetic and understood we had a budget. She understood our vision and our need for our branding to represent our company. When certain items were too expensive, she offered great alternatives — and we never felt like we were settling for less. Carm communicated regularly with EVERYONE involved in the project. She worked with vendors, dealt directly with any changes or requests we had, and handled any minor issue that came up (and only one, out of her hands, occurred with damaged items during shipping). We were on an impossible 6-week deadline. Carm made it happen. Everyone who saw the before/after photos of the office were impressed with what we were able to accomplish. I highly recommend Carm for ANY interior project, and hope I am able to work with her again on another office! More...

Our company had a great experience working with Carmelina and her team at CB Interiors on a design project for a new space in one of our buildings. The space came together and was guided with the help of Carm and her vision for a modern and fresh feel. The space is located on the first level off of one of our busiest lobbies across our portfolio – and has become a common-space area for our tenants with a lot of mixed use and purpose. The overall look and feel of the space that CB Interiors helped develop has really gone a long way for us! More...

I had a small home office space that I had been working on since Covid. As things transitioned to where I needed to bring clients in, I had a lot of trouble making it something I was comfortable meeting in. No matter what I did, I could not get it to where I wanted it.
Carmelina was able to see what I could not, and what was the important thing was that she made me feel comfortable hiring a designer, something I had never done, and comfortable working virtually. She made the process easy, and was never condescending or critical. I will hire her again if I need any further design help. More...
