Our work begins during the planning and selection phase, guiding cabinetry, plumbing, tile, lighting, hardware, flooring, and all interior finishes in collaboration with the architect and builder. Once construction selections are complete, we furnish the home in its entirety — developing detailed furniture plans, sourcing custom pieces, and overseeing installation to ensure every space feels cohesive and resolved. Beyond structure and materials, we curate interiors that reflect the people who live there. Scale, texture, art, and furnishings are selected with intention so the finished home feels personal, not prescribed. We design. We do not build. Our focus is integration — from architectural selections through fully furnished, thoughtfully layered spaces. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design ### Areas Served - Atlanta - Buckhead Atlanta - Sandy Springs - Roswell - Alpharetta - Brookhaven - Dunwoody - Midtown ### Typical Job Cost $75,000 - 750,000 $75,000 - 750,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Tara Fust Design | | Address | Alpharetta, Georgia 30004, United States | | Phone | (678) 883-1862 | | Website | http://tarafustdesign.com | | Followers on Houzz | 86 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/tarafustdesign/ - Blog — http://www.tarafustdesign.com - Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/tarafustdesign/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Tara Fust Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/tara-fust-design-pfvwus-pf~1543548677) - **Website:** http://tarafustdesign.com - **Phone:** (678) 883-1862 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 13 awards (2018–2026), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 21 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Featured Review **★★★★★ — Michael, Nov. 2019** > Tara Fust Design was outstanding to work with - from inception to completion. I had worked with and interviewed other designers, but Tara was (and is) leaps and bounds ahead of all others. She came out of the gate strong - with immediate suggestions that demonstrated her talents, and (most importantly) carried that sense of urgency and delivery all the way through my project. > > 1\. Extremely talented. She quickly picked up on and helped me to refine my own style. Her vision and design really "got me" and turned my home into a place I love to return to each day. > > 2\. Excellent customer service. Extremely responsive. Excellent communication skills. Her use of technology made it very easy for us to coordinate, communicate and finalize design ideas and installation. I never felt like I was "just a number" to TFD. > > 3\. High attention to detail. Tara not only has a great eye for design, she understands and appreciates the need to "get it right" - whether it is paint color, wallpaper installation or furniture placement. No detail was too small. Every room was finished to a "T". > > I always loved where I live, now I love how I live, in my house. I've recommended Tara to others and no reservation about her skills, abilities and talents. I trust her. I'd hire her again in a minute. **Comment from Tara Fust Design:** > I cannot thank you enough for the kind words! It's clients like you that make what we do so meaningful...and we are thrilled that you love your "new" home. :) ### All 21 reviews **★★★★★ — Matthew, Jan. 2026** > This was our second time working with Tara, and we’d absolutely do it again. The result feels elevated, livable, and thoughtfully resolved. **Comment from Tara Fust Design:** > Thank you! It truly means a lot to be invited back into your home a second time...that level of trust is never lost on me. > > I’m so glad the space feels both elevated and livable--that balance is always the goal. Your openness throughout the process made it a joy to bring everything together so thoughtfully. > > Grateful to have worked with you again. :) **★★★★★ — Sean Rhoades, Jan. 2026** > I highly recommend Tara for anyone seeking a truly personalized and inspired design experience. This was our second time working with Tara, and we’d do it again without hesitation. > > Tara brings an incredible eye to every project and makes the process feel calm and well-managed from start to finish. She consistently brings a strong viewpoint—she knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to introduce fresh ideas that set her work apart from the crowd. With Tara, you never end up with the same look everyone else has; instead, you get a space that feels uniquely yours (and people compliment!). > She’s easy to collaborate with and always takes the time to understand your overall vision and what mood you are trying to set. Her style stands apart for me, and her sharp attention to even the smallest details makes all the difference in the final outcome. Her process is thorough and highly organized, making the entire experience enjoyable and efficient. Most importantly, the result feels elevated, livable, and thoughtfully curated. Exactly what we were looking for when investing in a top professional. **Comment from Tara Fust Design:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to write this— it truly means a lot. > > Great projects always start with great clients, and I’m so glad the process felt as calm and considered as the final result. I’m happy to know the home reflects your vision in a way that feels uniquely yours and supports how your family lives. > > I appreciate the trust you placed in me and, of course, would welcome the opportunity to work together again. **★★★★★ — rpace1227, Jan. 2026** > We’ve worked with Tara multiple times now, most recently on a full kitchen redesign and updates throughout nearly every room of our home. She has an exceptional sense of design and a rare ability to pull everything together in a way that feels both beautiful and functional. The entire process is smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable — and the results are always better than we imagined. **Comment from Tara Fust Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words—and for trusting me again with your home. It’s always such a pleasure working with you both, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to help you create a home that supports how you really live. It’s been such a joy collaborating with you over the years, and I’m so thankful for the continued trust. **★★★★★ — Shawne Jacobs, Jan. 2026** > I’ve worked with several interior designers over the years, but nothing truly clicked until I came across Tara Fust on Instagram. Her talent for moving effortlessly between completely different styles is incredible. I first brought Tara in to help us finish our lake house, and her presentation absolutely stunned me. She gave my husband and me two options for each room and bathroom, plus one “wild card”—and I honestly loved them all. She completely understood the direction we wanted, made the space feel distinct from our main home, and curated furnishings and finishes from a range of sources that tied everything together beautifully. > > More recently, I was struggling to finish the design of my Upper East Side bridal flagship store in New York City. The firm I had been working with had missed the mark on a few important elements, and I reached out to Tara in a moment of panic. She immediately got to work and instinctively knew what the space needed to complete its Parisian apartment feel. **Comment from Tara Fust Design:** > Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. It’s been such a pleasure working with you across such different spaces, and I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me to interpret and curate each one in its own distinct way. I loved the opportunity to work on both projects, and I’m so glad the process—and the results—felt aligned. Thank you again for taking the time to share this...I appreciate it more than you know. **★★★★★ — Mary Jo Holzgrefe, Nov. 2020** > I worked with Tara when building our new home. fee years back and she was absolutely wonderful. She offered fresh ideas while keeping with our personal style. Tara gets to know her clients and designs around them - suggesting but not pushing - my husband and I both really enjoyed working with her. So much so that when we recently bought a place at the beach - Tara was the only designer to call and this we did all remotely - through pictures, emails and phone calls. She is truly a talented woman! **★★★★★ — English cottage style infusion, Nov. 2020** > Tara allowed me to love my space in a way I never dreamed possible. Love that she provided options at multiple price points and didn’t stop until I was happy. Would recommend again and again. Already looking forward to asking her to help us with our bedrooms next! **★★★★★ — Lori Freeman, April 2020** > Tara is awesome in every way. Creative, engaging, professional and personality. She allows your vision to become a reality by offering her partnership, not control. Starting from a literal clean slate, it was important to stay within budget. Tara provides the workmanship, prompt service and calm demeanor that allowed us to proceed with our goal in mind and our mind at rest. We trusted her entirely. Every room is filled with light and serenity. Love this designer! **★★★★★ — linda goldman, Jan. 2019** > Tara is exceptional! Her professionalism and the attention to detail was excellent. From planning with our kitchen renovation to designing our family room new furnishing. > The end result Beautiful-classic!! > She was incredibly responsive in her communication regarding scheduling trades and always available to answer questions > We highly recommend working with such a profession. > > Thanks > Linda and Gary > We love our new place **★★★★★ — Shawn DoVale, Dec. 2018** > Tara’s design style and vision for any sized project is amazing! Her attention to detail from start to finish is what makes her invaluable. I have recommended her to many friends and clients and they are always pleased and grateful for the beautiful results she achieves for them. **★★★★★ — Amanda Marsden, Dec. 2018** > Tara has worked with us from the start of our custom built home and is now working on the interior design. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her!! She has assisted in all phases - from construction selection that included all fixtures and layout design, finishes including trim and paint, tile and lighting. Her lighting choices are the absolute best and a total game changer!! With new construction their are so many choices and decisions, and we could not have done it without her guidance and expertise. > > Once construction was complete she then helped with interior design. She selected furniture, fabrics, and overall styling. She is a great listener and works hard to make sure our home reflects our style and personality. She has helped us create an inviting home that is casual and livable, yet stylish and beautiful. > > She is so kind and really thoughtful in her approach and her design. I really enjoy working with her and keep finding design projects so we can continue to work together. She has helped us acheive our dream home and continues to impress us with every project. **★★★★★ — grlb35, Sept. 2017** > Tara Fust has a true understanding of my needs and what will look good in my home. She is very easy to work with. **★★★★★ — Patty O'Brien, Sept. 2017** > Tara possesses a true gift for interior design. I worked with Tara to totally renovate our kitchen, family and dining rooms. Tara was wonderful to work with from the initial consultation through to the completion of the projects. She is a true professional. The designs she created for our home are truly inspired and creative. We are delighted with the results of Tara's design expertise; our kitchen, family and dining rooms are beautiful, fresh and current. > We highly recommend Tara. **★★★★★ — David Cannon Photography, Sept. 2017** > Tara and I have collaborated on a few photo shoots of her finished design jobs and I am proud to have her as a client. She is everything I could hope for in a client, including being friendly, clear on expectations, super talented, and even though she works diligently, it is a lot of fun to be around her. If you're considering a designer to work with in Atlanta, Florida, or anywhere else, Tara has to be on the short list. She is awesome! **★★★★★ — Lisa Parkhouse Jackson, Sept. 2017** > Tara is wonderful to work with. She not only has great design ideas but is always looking to be sure that the design and products work for the homeowner and their family. Whether the customer is looking for something traditional or a little more on the modern side, she can create just the look you have in mind! **★★★★★ — Cheryl Gongora, Sept. 2017** > Tara was wonderful from the get-go for us. We were dealing with the loss of our home due to a fire and she walked with us through each step in rebuild. She "got" us and our aesthetic of what we wanted to start new memories. Many times, I turned the reigns over to her directly for decisions, which was effortless. Tara was great in keeping within what we anticipated for insurance budgets., and knowing what few things are worth splurging, and what wasn't. Our new home is beautiful and we couldn't be more appreciative of all her work and talent. **★★★★★ — Karen Faber, Sept. 2017** > Tara is brilliant! She has an incredible eye for design and made the process of choosing items and colors for my home so easy. I love the results and highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — jessiebbrown, Sept. 2017** > I absolutely love working with Tara! Her design skills and knowledge are outstanding. She is always a pleasure to work with and her professionalism is top-knotch. **★★★★★ — T-Olive Properties, Sept. 2017** > Tara does an excellent job listening to our clients. She has great vision in designing spaces that look fantastic. She is a very talented designer. I recommend her to our clients when looking at design professionals to help in creating the selections that go into our homes. Her work has been published in Southern Living Magazine several times. **★★★★★ — kim\_paris48, Sept. 2017** > Tara Fust was introduced to us through our builder, to assist with the design selection process for our new home. Tara did a wonderful job of guiding us through the selections, providing direction and help where needed, while keeping our vision for our home in mind throughout. She was very thoughtful especially when it came to blending styles so that my husband and I both were happy with the outcome. She was always quick to point out if something would take us "over budget" and also quick to provide attractive options. Tara helped us decide where it made most sense to "splurge" and we quickly came to trust her excellent instincts. > > We were so pleased with the outcome of the interior finishes and design selections that we wanted to work with Tara beyond the builder's process. We engaged her to further assist us with the interior (furnishings) design for our new home. Tara has great vision and excellent resources, and it's been a pleasure working with her to make selections for our new home. We will be moving in soon and we look forward to seeing it all come together! I've truly enjoyed working with Tara and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, experienced and thoughtful interior designer! **★★★★★ — Lauren Jones, Sept. 2017** > Working with Tara is always a great experience. She selects the tiles to be used for each project, lets us know the patterns and grout colors, and we install them the way she has specified. She is very good at what she does. I love her sense of style, her promptness in getting me the info, her organization in keeping all of our large jobs running smoothly, and her fabulous attitude makes it fun to work with her! ## Selected projects - [Mayfield \| Custom Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mayfield-custom-residence-pj-vj~7793412) - Location: Alpharetta, GA - Photos: 12 - Description: This custom residence was designed in collaboration with the architectural team from the earliest stages of planning.
