Hi there! I'm Carol Alda, and I'm an interior designer with a passion for creating unique and exciting spaces. Originally from Brazil, I fell in love with interior design as a teenager, and it's been my calling ever since.

​

My journey to becoming a professional designer began in 2017 when I moved to Dallas as an AuPair. While taking care of the most incredible kids, I decided to pursue my dream officially by studying interior design. It was a turning point that allowed me to refine my skills and develop my own style, which I now describe as a mix of vintage chic, modern, traditional, and contemporary elements.

​

I believe in a "no boring, at all" policy when it comes to design. I mix elements of nature, modern, traditional, and contemporary styles with a touch of luxury and a LOT of gold. This unique blend sets my work apart and aligns perfectly with my brand's timeless vintage chic vibe. Whether it’s a residential interior design project in Dallas-Fort Worth or a commercial space redesign, my goal is to create sophisticated, distinctive interiors.

​

I started Dark&Olive with the mission of making the Dallas-Fort Worth area more sophisticated and fun through interior design that’s bold, memorable, and reflective of my clients' personalities. From residential interior design services to commercial project management, I'm here to collaborate with you and bring your design dreams to life.
