We’re delighted to welcome Studio Raymond to The Finest Directory, our handpicked network of creatives whose work captures the feeling of home in all its rich and varied forms.
“Home is where my family is, a sanctuary where I feel safe and relaxed, and where I can escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world.”
Studio Raymond is a London-based interior design practice founded in 2021 by Carina Raymond, specialising in bespoke residential projects across the UK and beyond. Guided by a belief that interiors profoundly influence wellbeing, the studio is dedicated to creating serene, functional, and deeply personal spaces that enhance everyday life. With a foundation in investment banking and a diploma from the KLC School of Design, Carina brings both analytical precision and creative sensitivity to her work. Before launching Studio Raymond, she spent seven years honing her craft at a leading interior design firm, working on a wide range of high-end projects that refined her eye for detail and craftsmanship.
Drawing on her Lebanese heritage, love of art, and global influences, Carina’s aesthetic blends contemporary design with antiques, vintage finds, and bespoke joinery. The result is interiors that feel elegant yet lived-in, layered with texture, colour and character. Each home is approached as a unique narrative – an authentic reflection of the people who live there.
Studio Raymond deliberately takes on a select number of projects at a time, allowing Carina to remain closely involved in every aspect of the design journey. From compact pied-à-terres to grand townhouses, she oversees each stage with hands-on creative direction, ensuring a seamless process from concept to completion. The studio’s trusted network of skilled makers and suppliers enables every detail, from joinery to soft furnishings, to be crafted with care and precision.
In 2025, Carina’s most recent project was awarded Best Newcomer at the Homes & Gardens Design Awards, recognising her refined yet soulful approach to interiors. Under her leadership, Studio Raymond has become known for its thoughtful use of colour, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to creating homes that tell the unique story of each client. Whether designing a tranquil city apartment or a layered family home, Studio Raymond delivers timeless, elegant interiors that balance beauty, functionality and a deep sense of belonging.
We asked Carina what “home” means to her, here’s what she had to say:
“Home is where my family is, a sanctuary where I feel safe and relaxed, and where I can escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world. When working on our client’s homes, I feel it is important to really understand how they live and use the space. This helps create interiors that are unique to them and can evolve over time. I love working with client’s existing pieces whether these are furniture pieces, objects picked up during their travels, or cherished artwork. I enjoy homes that tell the story of their inhabitants – homes that are layered and unique to them – this is the true challenge as an interior designer.”
