Carla Royder: Redefining Elegance in Interior Design
Carla Royder, a nationally acclaimed interior designer based in San Antonio, Texas, is synonymous with sophistication, artistry, and unparalleled expertise. A proud graduate of Texas Tech University, Carla’s foundation in art, commercial design, and interior design is seamlessly woven into her celebrated career. With a rich family legacy steeped in creativity, Carla draws inspiration from her maternal lineage of Spanish artists, inventors, and engineers, whose influence continues to shape her visionary approach.
Her mother, a ceramist and educator, infused their home with artistry, hosting memorable celebrations adorned with hand-painted murals, custom-crafted furniture, and exquisite details that transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. Witnessing the joy and connection her mother created through design, Carla developed a passion for crafting spaces that evoke emotion, nurture relationships, and celebrate life’s moments.
Carla’s love for design extends far beyond aesthetics. With a career spanning decades and a clientele that includes celebrities and tastemakers, she brings a unique blend of creativity and business acumen, instilled by her entrepreneurial father. From curating the finest silverware to orchestrating the placement of grand furnishings, Carla excels in creating homes that reflect the essence of their inhabitants, ensuring every element—big or small—tells a story of elegance and intention.
When she’s not transforming spaces, Carla cherishes time with her husband, two sons, dog Shep, and cat Bo. The Royder family thrives on shared adventures like fishing, horseback riding, and hiking, often hosting gatherings where Carla’s talent for creating enchanting tablescapes and unforgettable meals takes center stage. For Carla, design isn’t just her profession; it’s a love language—a means of connecting people and elevating the everyday into the extraordinary.
Her work is a testament to her belief that a beautifully designed home is not just a place—it’s an experience. With a keen eye for detail and a heart for hospitality, Carla Royder continues to set the standard for timeless elegance in interior design.
Carla and her team make designing your dream space effortless. A wonderful and talented group of individuals who bring your flavor and style into updated spaces that are unique to you and your family/business. Besides being extremely talented, they are just a great group of designers/people who we thoroughly enjoy being around. Carla Royder leads an amazing team and we look forward to working with her on many more projects.
Carla Royder Designs and Company has taken my office from drab to fab in a matter of months. She chose paint, counter tops, lighting, flooring and accessories that worked beautifully. I was very impressed with the years of experience that she brought to the space and the depth of knowledge she had on different styles from traditional to contemporary. I have fallen in love with her style and artistry and have now asked her to help design and decorate my newest office. She was always responsive and I have found her work very impressive. I highly recommend Carla Royder Designs.
Carla has been my interior designer for years now. A few reasons why she is the best 1. She is as creative as it could be when it comes down to turning a place into a home. 2. She gets to know who you are and she is very much detail oriented, which makes your home unique. 3. Great personality, down to earth, genuine and loving. 4. She can do it all! In my case she took care of my first house (5 bedroom 4.5 baths), my condo ( 3 bedroom 2.5 baths), and my most recent home (6 bedroom 5.5 baths) 7. Last but not least I love Carla because she just goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are satisfied.
I don’t have words that I feel can really explain the level of talent that you get from Carla Royder Designs & Co. Maybe there aren’t words to really describe her amazing work. It’s more of an experience. Carla & her team have the ability to walk into a room and magic happens. Yes, what she does is magical. I’ve never experienced the quality and artistic abilities wrapped around such professionalism. I don’t know how she does it, but she definitely is blessed with the ability to turn a house into a home. A storage closet into a prayer room (my most favorite room) and leaves you speechless and wanting more. Carla and her team are beyond amazing & talented.
Carla and her team have been helping our customers’ visions and dreams become reality for over thirteen years! She has also personally selected every aesthetic detail of each of our model homes. We have listened constantly to our clients and potential clients praise her work in our model homes for ten+ years! Her attention to detail and ability to pick up on our clients «palette» is remarkable. We are proud to consider Carla and her team a partner in our success, and look forward to a continuing working relationship in the future. Thank you for all that you do!
