Lynda Contarino, Owner of Castles and Cottages Interiors has been in the Design Industry for 20 years. She has successfully run this business since 2003. She is passionate about her business and the enjoyment and satisfaction, not only for her Homeowners, but herself as she takes great pride in the outcome of her projects of luxury homes, remodels/ renovations, and model homes.
Each project has its own identity and style reflecting the lifestyle of the Owner. The key factor in hiring this firm is the knowledge of the latest Design trends, used with the Homeowner’s ideas result in beautiful projects.
Castles and Cottages Interiors has transformed hundreds of homes, Condos, Penthouses and Model homes. Renovations provides the most gratification as some of these homes and Condos are in disastrous conditions. Moving walls, increasing space, raising ceilings and moving rooms, creates the open space that we all want to achieve as our goal to increase our beautiful views.
The Luxury Home market is such a pleasure to work on, sometimes reflecting 6-8 Bathrooms, and three Kitchens (upstairs, downstairs, and outdoor). Each room has its own style but colors flow from room to room with color change where permitted. Beautiful wall finishes, paint combinations, iron stair railings, columns, cabinetry and granite/ marble for Kitchen and Bath are critical selections that only you and a Designer can pull together, along with a General Contractor that works in this specialized market. Landscaping and pool design, possibly rock waterfalls, pavers, all are important for the Entry impact of approaching your property. Using material to the proper scale and style will enhance the beauty of the finished home.
Organization in the Building and Design process is very important with expertise in handling schedules appropriately allows the project to run as smooth as possible.
Welcome to Castles and Cottages Interiors. We look forward to a fun and exciting project with spectacular results to beautify your residence. Let’s get started...

We have now worked with Lynda on a couple projects. She is always been kind to speak with and been very prompt in payment. We never have to ask repeatedly for payment on our invoices from her. She is always very organized on her projects. After these last few projects we have seen her final work and she does such a great job!

Lynda started our design from a picture of a kitchen on a magazine cover. We moved some walls and moved the kitchen and came up with a beautiful open concept. I've received so many compliments on my place, everyone loves the it, with a lot compliments on the color selections, backsplash and counter tops. Lynda is highly skilled and kept very detailed records of our project. I highly recommend her. Great job Lynda!
