“Nothing changes a room more than the right set of curtains. Remember, done right, even white drapes are not boring!”
About Me
Solution oriented & VersatileI’m a Portuguese native, but I was raised in Switzerland where I learned to speak four different languages. I’ve always had a passion for design, and in 2002, I began my journey as a seamstress, working part-time for other businesses while also pursuing a sewing apprenticeship.
A few years later, in 2005, I decided to further my studies as an interior designer. This allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of how buildings and rooms work, and how to create practical and functional systems. In 2009, I became a full-time self-employed designer.
I started working with private customers, doing everything from consultations to sewing to installation, and I learned a lot from those experiences. As my reputation grew, I began taking on bigger projects, including B2B work where even architects would benefit from my years of know-how.
Now, with over 20 years of experience, I’ve become an expert in creating custom-made curtains and blinds that transform any space into a luxurious and stylish haven. I take pride in delivering the highest quality window treatments to my customers and providing a personalized service that is tailored to their unique needs and budget.

Carina is creative, professional and great at what she does, and so is her team. What I liked most about working with Carina is thay she doesn’t sell you products. Instead she listens to you and your ideas, she visits your place to understand what are you trying to achieve, she works with your budget and then she helps you to find the best solution for your home

During the entire Process Carina was extremely helpful. She sent little videos and voice notes where we could see samples and possibilities for blinds and curtains and she would film sample books. Carina went on site to measure and she came up with a solution for a problem that occurred in the kitchen. Without Carina this would not have been possible and we are very thankful for her work and always very positive attitude. She made working with a Swiss based company a breeze for a UK interior designer.

Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit den neuen Vorhängen und den Plissee. Besonders geschätzt haben wir die einwandfreien und professionell ausgeführten Näharbeiten, die Montage sowie die Termineinhaltung und die transparente Kostendarstellung.

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, mit Carina Martins an einem herausfordernden Projekt in der ehemaligen Papierfabrik Cham zu arbeiten.
Die Umwandlung des ehemaligen Papiersilos in eine Wohnung mit überhohen Räumen erfordert praktisches Denken und langfristige Lösungen.
Sie arbeitete nahtlos mit unseren Designern in London zusammen, beschaffte fachkundig die Stoffe und koordinierte den gesamten Installationsprozess. Ihre Reaktionsfähigkeit und Einfallsreichtum waren von grossem Wert, und ich habe ihre Unterstützung sehr geschätzt. Ich bin mit dem Endergebnis äusserst zufrieden und kann Carina wärmstens empfehlen!
