Thoughtful Design. Beautiful Living.
Carissa Montelongo brings a personal, hands-on approach to every interior — selecting colors, materials, finishes, lighting, and furnishings that reflect how you actually live. Interior design is not an add-on at Bordeaux; it is woven into every project from the very first conversation.

Thoughtful Design. Beautiful Living.
Carissa Montelongo is the interior designer behind every Bordeaux Luxury Homes project. She brings a personal, unhurried approach to each interior — getting to know how you live, what you love, and what you want your home to feel like before a single selection is made.
Interior design at Bordeaux is not a separate service or an afterthought. Carissa works alongside Rick from the earliest planning stages, so design decisions inform structural choices — and the result is a home that feels cohesive from the foundation up.
Whether you are remodeling a kitchen in Boerne, adding a primary suite in Bulverde, or building a custom home from the ground up in the Texas Hill Country, Carissa is personally involved in every detail — from the first material board to the final styling walkthrough.
The Design Process
Design Is in the Details.
Great interiors are not the result of a single inspired decision — they are the result of hundreds of small decisions made well. Carissa brings together layouts, materials, colors, textures, lighting, and finishing details to create interiors that feel intentional at every scale.
She works through each layer of a space systematically: how the floor plan flows, where natural light falls, how surfaces relate to one another, and how each room connects to the next. Nothing is selected in isolation.
The finishing details — hardware profiles, grout color, trim profiles, fixture finishes — are where a good interior becomes a great one. Carissa stays involved through every stage to make sure those details land exactly right.
