Highly Rated Fairfield County Kitchen & Bath Designer Since 2006

Originally from California and NYC, I have been an independent kitchen and bathroom designer in Fairfield, CT since 1996. My background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and jobs in Film, TV, and Theater. I began to design kitchens and bathrooms for friends and family in 1987 and went onto the NKBA training program in 1995. My training and experience encompass many disciplines, including color theory, space planning, lighting design, and ergonomics. I integrate classic design principles and current trends into my kitchen & bath designs. Each project challenges me on different levels: to identify my clients' needs, wishes, and style, to articulate the house's requirements and -- within the parameters of space and budget - to come up with an inspired kitchen or bath. I work very hard to give these spaces the "magic" that makes them a true pleasure to live in and experience. In 2007, the NKBA awarded me my Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) designation after I completed 7 years of coursework, an apprenticeship, and two examinations.

We met Tara upon a recommendation of another friend and described to her our project. She talked us through the whole process of renovating a kitchen and gave us project timelines and ideas. Her suggestions and recommendations were very very helpful. She's with it when it comes to all the up to date appliances, gadgets, styles etc. She bore in mind our budget at all times and we stuck to it. Her team is also very easy to work with. She held our hand through all of our decisions- tiles, appliances, color schemes, hardware- you name it! But it doesn't stop there. Tara didn't just renovate our kitchen, she took it upon herself to design the whole space. She gave us wonderful suggestions on lighting fixtures, bar stools and even our fireplace which was clearly not in the scope of her job. She goes over and beyond and that's what I loved about working with her. She was very professional but also very friendly. I'd recommend her blindly to anyone.

Comment from Tara Veith Kitchen & Bath Design:

S, collaborating with you on your exquisite kitchen was a highlight of this year. Your design courage, the fusion of our cultures, your sense of Family, and fun made this project both memorable and stunning. Looking forward to posting pictures and sharing them with the World.

We met with Tara Veith to go over our new kitchen/pantry design since this was our first time designing a kitchen. Our original drawings before meeting Tara had a small office in the pantry area and after sitting down Tara highlighted this made for a less than ideal walking pattern since you would have to walk around to the other side to get to the pantry.. We opted to remove the office and instead created a “Super Pantry” that can be accessed from either side. This was a game changer in the overall kitchen design. We moved our home office to the old pantry making use of that space. Tara was open about various ideas, appliances and things to be aware of when designing and building a new kitchen.

Comment from Tara Veith Kitchen & Bath Design:

J & G, I was very happy to be a part of your very special project. You have taken a historical home and brought it up to modern standards, while keeping its charm and character. I also love the "super pantry" description. It certainly is super!

Tara offered invaluable insight and design tips when she reviewed plans for our kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2020. Her advice was spot-on and she offered many terrific suggestions and recommendations that improved the overall design. Her taste is impeccable and high-end, and she is extremely knowledgable about current kitchen design trends -- what's in, and what's dated. Tara spent a lot of time with us to make sure we understood our plan and how everything would proceed with our contractor. I appreciated her forthrightness and attention to detail. I highly recommend Tara!

Comment from Tara Veith Kitchen & Bath Design:

Thanks for your kind words, Kerry. I was very excited to be part of the reimagining of your beautiful home. Your blend of nostalgic family pieces with transitional design resulted in the beautiful, functional, and heart-warming result.

We just completed our kitchen renovation and the outcome is absolutely stunning. It’s been a great creative experience working with Tara. We love the quality of the cabinets, both on the exterior and the interior, we love the mechanism of how they open and close, and we love the details that make it so unique. If you are looking for a high quality product, a great designer and a seamless install, contact Tara Veith.

Comment from Tara Veith Kitchen & Bath Design:

Thanks so much, Brownstern! In a true spirit of collaboration, we took the classic Connecticut kitchen, and folded in layers of whimsy, storage and function. Your love of good design, and willingness to bring in the fun extras, are what made this project so rewarding.

Tara helped us to redesign our kitchen. It was a complicated project with multiple columns and beams and a large island but she was able to bind it all together and bring about a cohesive design that is open and bright and perfect for our life style. She was always mindful of our budget and gave us the best options. She designed the cabinets to fit our cooking style and had a wonderful cabinet maker and stone person who worked with her. Would highly recommend her!

Tara is one of those rare designers who not only has a great sense of design but she can explain "the why." I'm a designer myself (software) and a good designer not only works with constraints like cost, time, resources (which she does really well) but she can articulate the "WHY" one option might be better than another. Through working with her I was able to learn how to articulate my own taste which only helped insure my satisfaction with the end result. Face it, designing a space for someone else is hard - and there are a lot unknowns - but Tara's unique combination of empathy, experience, design knowledge and sense of humor made it SO worthwhile. I've talked and I have worked with more than a few designers - and she is, by far, the best. You won't be sorry.

We are newbies to the whole remodel game and Tara really led us through it. She helped us stay within budget and walked us through what worked and what didn't. She has a really keen eye for detail which we needed. Above all, she was available to us at any time and helped us arrive at the kitchen we always wanted.

Tara Veith is a masterful designer. She was able to take my unorganized, poorly thought-out ideas to create a beautiful plan we love. During the design process, Tara guided us through the selection of stone, tile, bathtub & shower selection, as well as functional safety features to consider. She gave us the “wow” factor we hoped for with a master bathroom that complements our unique home. She is extremely competent. We enjoyed both her professionalism and sense of humor.

I had Tara Veith Kitchen and Bath Design out to the house to consult on a kitchen project. Tara's ideas and vision were spot on, as far as style, and trend. I was the GC for my own project but needed to bounce ideas and discuss the renovation with Tara. She did not disappoint.

I take reviewing services seriously as I heavily rely on reviews from others when I am shopping around. I hired Tara to help me take me through the overwhelmimg task of remodeling a kitchen. She carefully listened to my vision of how I'd like the layout to be, and she opened my eyes to a more current, yet classic, kitchen design that masters in functionality for the everyday to entertaining. Tara takes pride in applying her expert knowledge of proportion and balance to her designs. She also stays true to her promise of helping her clients stay on budget! Her experience in Fairfield County, and beyond, proved very helpful with finding valuable vendors for all the kitchen remodeling needs.

As I was evaluating how to upgrade the kitchen in my Manhattan condo, Tara took time to educate me about different the design features (sink/faucet design, backsplash, countertop material) that would make the kitchen both memorable and unique to potential renters/buyers, and also would maximize the return on my investment given my budget constraints. Throughout the process I found Tara's advice to be both informative and differentiated, and she has been proactive and very responsive since day one. I would absolutely recommend working with Tara.

Tara guided us through the complete design aspect of our kitchen from start to finish. She did a wonderful job in listening to our wishes, and saved us from making many mistakes if we had embarked on this project on our own. We stayed on budget, and receive complements every time we entertain!

My husband and I were at the verrrry beginning of thinking about how to improve our kitchen. We asked Tara to consult with us just to get the ideas rolling. Tara came and was very practical and thoughtful in her analysis of what could be done, and what factors we should consider before making any decisions (including emotional ones - not just financial or design-oriented). As I told Tara later, I valued her consult because it helped my husband and I clarify our thinking about what we want and what we need. It made our conversations much more productive and ultimately saved us a lot of time. We highly recommend Tara for her patient, level-headed approach!

Hello, I was lucky enough to do 2 kitchens in Connecticut with Tara, whom I refer to as "The Kitchen Goddess"; we did one top-of-the-line and another on a budget; both turned out brilliant & it was fun to work with such a upbeat professional.....you should see her new kitchen! Barbara

She has proven that she can work with projects that range in size, budget and scope and is very flexible with any changes that might show up as the project commences. We really enjoyed working with Tara and recommend her without hesitation!

Tara was extremely helpful in our kitchen dining room, laundry, bathroom renovation. She had a great way of encouraging me not to settle. When the contractor/sub said something couldn't be done, Tara informed me that they may say something can't be done but it is just because it is difficult for them. Tara had great vision for the whole picture.

Tara helped us with a complete overhaul of our kitchen and bathroom, including adding a half bath. I can not tell you how many compliments we've received over the years! My husband and I were interested in having a pretty unique look, with vibrant colors and custom touches. However, we planned to put the house on the market in about five years, so we were aware of how important it was to maintain a look which would show well to a wide audience. Tara did an amazing job of hitting both goals - our kitchen and bathrooms felt just right for us - fun and full of "craft" touches. When we put the house on the market a few months ago, we heard tons of compliments about its charm. I strongly recommend Tara, because I believe she can help anyone achieve their own best design.

Tara was referred to us from a neighbor who had completed their kitchen project successfully. Her creativity, expertise, and calm demeanor helped us tremendously as we struggled to get the project off the ground. She was onsite regularly for the design work and very active throughout the installation. She also brought with her a great network of vendors and contractors who made the project run very smoothly. I would highly recommend Tara Veith Design, LLC
