Colorful Concepts Interior Design

Continuing our team introductions, we’re excited to spotlight Sophia Salcedo, one of the thoughtful minds behind the scenes at CCID.

After earning her degree in Interior Design from Indiana University, Sophia relocated to Raleigh and quickly became an integral part of our collaborative studio process. She brings a sharp eye for detail and a strong understanding of how thoughtful design supports everyday living. With strengths in space planning, design research, and visual development, Sophia helps shape ideas into clear, cohesive plans—allowing our clients to fully understand the potential of their homes.

Outside the studio, Sophia enjoys staying active, exploring new places, spending time with family and friends, and unwinding at home with her cats.

Patterned drapery adds a clear sense of color and softness to this space, bringing in blues and greens that feel fresh while still grounded. The fabric introduces movement and visual interest, framing the window without overpowering the room. Just beside it, the glass-front cabinet offers a quieter moment showcasing collected pieces in a way that feels intentional and easy, not overly styled.

These details were part of a larger renovation of a 1980s ranch in Chapel Hill for a growing family, where the goal was to subtly update the home while preserving its approachable character. Through layered finishes and thoughtful selections, the house was refreshed for modern family living without losing its sense of history.

On days like these, when Raleigh is deep in winter layers, we can’t help but look back at spaces made for warmer moments and slower outdoor living. For this couple, time outside is part of daily life—whether entertaining, unwinding with a view, or welcoming their grown children home for visits.

Set along Pages Creek in Wilmington, this second-floor porch was designed as a true extension of the home—easy, inviting, and perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding landscape. From quiet mornings to lively evenings with family and friends, the space adapts effortlessly.

Natural teak tones, flexible seating, and layered textures create a relaxed resort feel that stays warm and livable year-round—modern, and eclectic.

This primary bath was designed to feel calm, cohesive, and thoughtfully considered. The soft blue wall color establishes a relaxed atmosphere, while classic millwork and layered artwork provide structure and visual interest. Careful attention was given to the transition between the bedroom and bath, ensuring the space feels intentional rather than secondary. Designed for a family settling into a new home, every detail supports daily routines while offering a sense of retreat from a busy professional life.

The result is a well-balanced, functional environment—purposeful, enduring, and grounded in thoughtful design.
