Margaret Carter Interiors

Interior Designer

Margaret Carter is a refreshing interior designer in the Washington, D.C. market. Open, communicative, and friendly—she approaches design in a highly professional, yet personal manner. Her vivid life, natural talent, distinctive style, and ability to intuitively read her clients has made Margaret a successful interior designer for more than 15 years.

Margaret decided to break away from a career in medical sales and tap into her entrepreneurial spirit and her passion for interior design. Growing up in both Connecticut and London, she acquired a sense of design from an early age. As a young girl in Connecticut, she went on weekend antique excursions with her parents. As a teenager in London, she developed a sense of minimalist style and a passion for the historic preservation of Chelsea style homes. Elements of both of these locales are blended seamlessly in Margaret’s signature style: a contemporary marriage of space, light and color. Combining her design intuition with her experience in long-term customer service, she began professionally designing homes in Telluride, CO, as principal of Carter Home Collection. After a successful decade of design, Margaret has now come back to her roots on the East Coast. Read more

    I hired Margaret to help me select furniture, paint, carpeting, build-ins, and lighting. She really "got" my personality and taste level. She worked very well with my budget, and selected pieces that fit perfectly with my space limitations. Her sense of color and proportion is great. I especially appreciated her willingness to work until things were just right. I love my renovation and am so glad I hired Margaret.

    Margaret helped me maximize storage, space and style for my 550 sq ft condo at The Wharf in DC. In addition to giving me fabulous advice, she guided me towards the most cost efficient options for my needs. Margaret genuinely cares about her clients and their projects - a rare quality in a market that constantly tries to get one over on you. If you want an expert designer that you can trust, go with Margaret!

    I am renovating a house and felt extremely overwhelmed with decorating. After a consultation with Margaret, I felt as though a load has been lifted. She gave excellent ideas for every room in my house. Now I feel inspired and very much looking forward to the task ahead. I highly recommend Margaret for interior decorating needs.
