Tara McCauley Interior Design

Downtown Manhattan-based interior designer Tara McCauley was recently recognized by House Beautiful Magazine as one of 2023's "Next Wave" of interior designers. Drawing from an eclectic array of influences from art history, fashion, and travel, Tara has always had a specific point of view - her work is romantic, layered, and often inflected with a dash of humor. With history as an anchor, she finds beauty in the juxtaposition of periods and unexpected materials. Taking a collaborative approach, Tara aims to give each client a unique space which feels thoughtfully collected and true to their personal style. She views design as a means of storytelling - a space can reflect both where a client has been and their aspirations for the future. In addition to residential interiors, Tara brings her fashion forward eye to retail, events, and sets. In addition to being recognized as a 2023 “Next Wave” designer by House Beautiful Magazine, she designed the Primary Bedroom at the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse and her work has been featured in New York Magazine’s “Great Rooms" as well as NBC’s “Open House TV.” She has experience working with clients in New York, Westchester, the Hamptons, and Los Angeles. Tara earned a BA at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she pursued an interdisciplinary concentration in art history and architecture, and completed a studio-based architecture intensive at Parsons’ School of Constructed Environments.
