CARV Projects / Toronto Interior Design Firm

// Welcome to CARV, if you’re new to our corner of the internet. I’m Valerie Cardozo, licensed Interior Designer and founder of CARV Projects.⁠ ⁠ My design journey began in the Caribbean, surrounded by rich culture, art and natural beauty, which sparked my love for creating spaces that inspire connection. A family friend, an Italian architect building schools in underserved areas, showed me the true impact of thoughtful design — a lesson that continues to shape my work today.⁠ ⁠ At 14, my family moved to Canada, teaching me resilience and the value of hard work — qualities that I bring into every project. After studying at Miami International University of Art & Design, I earned my Bachelor of Interior Design from Toronto Metropolitan University and became NCIDQ certified. I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned companies like Crown Property Management, Allied, Cadillac Fairview, Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, TD Bank, Holt Renfrew, and ENDY. My early career at Gensler gave me a strong foundation in commercial design, setting the stage for the diverse portfolio I’ve built, from luxury residences to hospitality and entertainment spaces.⁠ ⁠ I’m also passionate about giving back, having contributed to award-winning charitable projects like Dinner by Design for Casey House and The Haiti Shelter Initiative. ⁠ ⁠ At CARV Projects, I’m thrilled to collaborate with you to create meaningful spaces that reflect your ideals and will shape the way you live life, enjoy your down time or work. ⁠ ⁠ Let’s grab a coffee and chat about your dreams and visions for your residential, hospitality, workplace or commercial space ☕️⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠⁠#carvprojects #miamiinteriordesigner #miamiinteriordesign #miamidesigners #miamiinteriors #miamiarchitecture #miamiarchitect #miamiluxuryhomes #miamirenovation #miamiluxuryrealestate #southfloridarealestate #miamicontractors #southfloridadesign #bocaratondesign #palmbeachdesign #palmbeachrealestate #orlandointeriordesigner ⁠ ⁠ Miami Interior Designer | Residential Interior Design in Florida | Custom Interiors In Florida | Miami Luxury Interiors | Miami Beach Interior Design

Slightly controversial, but...⁠ ⁠ you don’t need a big budget for a great design. Just like money isn’t the answer to all design problems. Buying high-end furnishings won’t do you any good, if you don’t combine them tastefully. And misallocating dollars in a tight budget design project is the biggest mistake we see homeowners make. This is why working with an interior designer will always pay off. ⁠ ⁠⁠ Interior Design: @carvprojects ⁠ ⁠ ⁠#carvprojects #torontointeriordesigner #officedesign #bluedrapery #draperypartition⁠ ⁠ CARV Projects / Summerhill Toronto Interior Designer / Interior Design Firm in Roncesvalles Village / Bloor-West Renovations / Bloordale Village Interior Designer⁠ / Kitchen Cabinetry Design / Office Renovation / Home Renovation Tips / Modern Office Design

..but always the most important. Fellow designers will attest to this 😮‍💨⁠ ⁠ Renovation fatigue at the finish line of a project is very real, but we promise you, pushing your project through that final 5% will be the best decision you’ll make. We know you’re eager to move in, return to your routines, and enjoy your new space. But leaving the final pieces unfinished robs it of its full potential, leaving you less comfortable and unable to fully enjoy it as you had hoped at the start.⁠ ⁠ If you’re knee-deep in a renovation right now, this is your reminder to stick it out, and see your project through until the finish line! You will thank us later 💙⁠ ⁠ ⁠#carvprojects #torontointeriordesigner #torontorenovations ⁠#officerenovation ⁠#torontorealestate⁠ ⁠ CARV Projects / Summerhill Toronto Interior Designer / Bloor-West Renovations / The Junction Toronto Interior Designer / Trinity-Bellwoods Interior Designer / Toronto Commercial Interior Designer / Toronto Office Renovation

This wouldn’t be the first time you see us falling for unique colours. #39284B is a prime example 💜 In the wrong context, this vibrant purple may be the poster child for a dated 70’s living room, but in the right context...

We took the Project 901 kitchenette from basic to bespoke, leaning into a reeded texture theme, moody blue hues and contemporary finishing details. Swipe until the end to see what we started with!⁠ ⁠ This narrow, tall area required strategic planning, to make every millimetre count. Our client was missing a refrigerator, so we got creative and borrowed a bit of space from the neighbouring room to install a full size fridge.

// A guest room that’s ready for guests and ready for you after they say goodbye 👋⁠ ⁠ For our Project Armadale 2.0 guest room, we added a murphy bed which serves as a shelving unit when not in use, maximizing every inch of the space and allowing the room to double as a home office. ⁠ ⁠ Swipe for the before!⁠ ⁠ #carvresidentialdesign⁠ ⁠ Interior Design: @carvprojects ⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠#carvprojects #torontointeriordesigner⁠ #torontocustomhomes⁠ ⁠#muskokainteriordesigner⁠ ⁠ Rosedale Toronto Interior Designer / CARV Projects / Roncesvalles Renovations / Toronto Hospitality Interior Designer / Moore Park Toronto Interior Designer / Rosedale Toronto Interior Designer / Summerhill Interior Designer

// You have our permission…⁠ ⁠ To be bold 💙⁠ ⁠ The status quo might be the most palatable, but let’s face it - it’s not always the most interesting. When it comes to design, listening to your own instincts (or your trusted interior designer’s) is key. While a Pinterest-perfect home might look great, that doesn’t mean it will feel authentic to you.⁠ ⁠ Thinking outside the box is our bread and butter and we like to encourage our clients do the same. So go ahead, ditch that bland sofa and say “yes” to something you really love. You won’t regret it. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Interior Design: @carvprojects ⁠ ⁠ ⁠#carvprojects #torontointeriordesigner #torontocommercialdesign #torontoresidentialdesign⁠ ⁠ ⁠ CARV Projects / Summerhill Toronto Interior Designer / Interior Design Firm in Roncesvalles Village / Bloor-West Renovations / Parkdale Toronto interior Designer / Trinity-Bellwoods Interior Designer / Bloordale Village Interior Designer
