Effortless design with uncompromising detail
Charla Ray Interior Design is a full-service interior design studio rooted in the belief that the most meaningful spaces are both beautiful and deeply livable. We specialize in bespoke renovations, new construction, and whole-home furnishing - creating layered, timeless interiors that support real life and elevate everyday experience. Located in Portland, Oregon and serving clients throughout the United States.
Our approach
With a thoughtful, hands-on approach, we guide each project from early space planning and architectural collaboration through to detailed drawings, material selections, and custom furnishings. Our work balances structure with soul - where bespoke millwork sits comfortably beside natural textures, and curated pieces reflect a sense of history and individuality. Every detail is considered, not just for how it looks, but for how it functions and feels over time.
Our clients are discerning, accomplished, and value good design
But they don't have the time (or desire) to oversee it themselves. They come to us for our calm clarity, our expert leadership, and our ability to turn complexity into something effortless. The result is a space that feels cohesive, personal, and quietly luxurious - a home designed not just to impress, but to support and inspire.
Meet the team
Meet Char
OWNER/LEAD DESIGNER
Char’s love of design can be traced all the way back to her childhood in Montana. Her family moved frequently, purchasing farms and renovating the neglected houses on the properties. Even then, Char was aware of the profound psychological effect that beautiful, functional interiors can have. Those early experiences still inform her design philosophy—her belief that the measure of good design is its ability to improve your daily life.
