Taylor Design Homes

We met Tara after we acquired a new property. Tara was highly recommended by our real estate agent. In the past, Tara was contracted by the agency for numerous projects including staging. The property that we acquired is a good one, but previous owners had a modern style approach without cohesive spatial design. Right from the start, we knew that we would need a professional who will work with us to create a perfect home. We also were looking for someone who has a knowledge of local art and furniture shops (we are from a different state), so we have options and could visit those stores together with the designer. The initial introduction went well, we felt that Tara has great communication skills, a perfect passion for design, and instead of waving a magic wand, she wanted us to be a part of the process and have input as well. As a result, we were presented with a brief questionnaire about the favorite colors, materials, tones, textures, and styles. As we learned later, the answers were kept in Tara’s file, and from time to time Tara validated the choices with our file, and she made sure that we felt comfortable with the changes going forward. By itself, this approach highlighted the level of professionalism. Once we established trust, I defaulted to weekly remote meetings with Tara (due to COVID). Remote meetings are not optimal for designers, because it is limiting in what the designer can visualize and convey, meetings in-person are always better, but both sides were willing to go the extra mile to succeed. We were open to new ideas and consulted with Tara along the way. I do know photography and understand color coordination. At times when I couldn’t choose one palette over another or a texture, I would turn to Tara and she would make those perfect decisions with ease and attention to detail. I do not like to micromanage and delegate responsibilities checking in from time to time. The same approach worked well with Tara, and we helped each other. She took ownership of the project, visual boards helped to raise questions and provide suggestions. I was able to rely on her working with the different contractors, deliveries, etc. Tara was able to change our perception of the space and created a great design. Needless to say, at the end of the project we learned new things from Tara, she polished the way we looked at the space in the house and created a cohesive flow with focal elements in each room. Would come back to Tara for professional advice over and over. Looking forward to new projects with Tara and her subject matter expertise.

Taylor Design has always been amazing for my listings. Tara has great vision and turns a blank slate into something spectacular. It has helped to get some challenging homes sold and I'm super grateful for her experience and expertise.

Tara is absolutely amazing to work with! She is professional, warm and listens to every detail of her clients needs and wants. We were so happy with her work and every detail came out perfect. We highly recommend Tara for all your professional needs, home design, event design, wedding/party design work.

Tara is an excellent decorator with the ability to communicate well with her clients. She will collaborate with you on ideas, furniture, colors, patterns, etc. to ensure you get exactly what you want in your home. I admire her talent more than can be put into words. A+

My husband and I were selling the home we raised our children in and the process was a bit overwhelming. We wanted to present the house in the best light without spending money renovating. Tara came in and with a bit of rearranging and decluttering our house looked amazing! It sold in less than a week and this was during a competitive market! I know it was because of staging. Thank you Tara for making the process fun instead of stressful.

I was selling an empty house which I had no Idea on how to define the rooms. Some were very narrow. Some were tiny spaces that I knew I had to put something there but couldn't imagination what. Tara to the rescue. She not only staged the house perfectly but her husband is a wonderful Realtor and they gave me tips that was invaluable. She is priced very fairly for great value. She stages quickly and removes quickly. I would highly recommend her, you would not be sorry. Lori Mead
