Raleigh, NC | Triangle | us | Abroad
No two of our projects look alike.
That is the whole point.
Refined, eclectic, globally inspired spaces that feel unmistakably yours.
What We Do
02
Large-Scale Renovation
Whole homes, additions and historic properties. Knowing what not to change.
03
Luxury Residential
Kitchens, baths, family rooms, pantries and offices. One room or all of them.
Every Engagement Includes
Drawings, not boards
Floor plans, elevations, renderings, millwork and lighting drawings, and finish schedules your builder and cabinetmaker actually work from.
A single schedule
One studio holding the architect, the contractor, the trades and the vendors to one timeline. You are not the one relaying messages.
White glove service
Every order placed, every delivery inspected and stored, every installation supervised by our team. You walk into a finished room.
We don’t hand you a plan.

The Studio
Refined. Eclectic. Global.
Couture Haus was founded by Sandra Moncada-Mainz on one principle: architecture, interiors and furnishings are not separate decisions. They are one story, told in a single voice.
Trained first as an industrial engineer, then through an MBA and years as a marketing executive before formal study in interior design — the result is creative instinct backed by real technical precision.
Named one of Raleigh’s top interior designers in 2023.
How It Works
01
Let’s talk
A complimentary first call, then an initial consultation to walk the space and agree scope, budget and collaboration.
02
We design
Three weeks in studio. Floor plans, elevations, renderings, palettes, materials and a timeline — presented as a conversation, not a reveal.
03
We install
Every order placed, inspected, stored and installed by our team. The only thing left for you to do is enjoy the space.
Awards
“She listened to what I was trying to achieve and brought me beautiful options to choose from. Our house turned out more beautiful and we are loving it.”
Questions
Before you decide.
What does an interior designer in Raleigh, NC cost?
Most Raleigh interior designers work one of three ways: a flat design fee per room or per project, an hourly rate, or a combination of both.
Couture Haus scopes each project individually, because a single-room restyling and a whole-house new build are not comparable pieces of work. We give you a written scope and fee before anything begins, so there is no meter running in the background.
Which areas does Couture Haus serve?
We are based in Raleigh and work throughout the Triangle — Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest and the surrounding communities. We also take selected projects elsewhere in North Carolina, out of state and abroad when the fit is right.
Do I need to have everything decided before I call?
No. Most people come to us with a room they do not like and no vocabulary for why. That is a normal starting point. The first conversation is about the space, how you live in it, and what you would like it to become — not about picking paint colors or finishes.
Do you take small projects, or only whole houses?
Both. We work on full new construction and large-scale renovations, and we also take single rooms — a kitchen, a primary bath, a home office, a pantry. The process is the same; the scope is what changes.
What makes your work different from other Raleigh design studios?
No two of our houses look alike. We do not carry a signature look from one project to the next. The work is eclectic and globally informed, and the result is meant to read as yours rather than ours.
