Meet Tara...
Fresh. Timeless. Spirited. Smart. These are a few hallmarks of Tara's interior designs. Since starting her design business in 2014, the Atlanta-based designer is passionate about creating interiors that reflect an imaginative blend of classic and modern pieces with a fresh, vibrant flair.
Incorporating clean lines, comfortable furnishings, a thoughtful mix of color and texture, and meaningful memorabilia, she brings out the best in each client's individual style. And as a mother of two boys and a black Labrador, Tara is keenly aware that the best interiors are not only stylish, but also functional and livable.
Through each step of the interior design process Tara will not only listen to and address your design requests and dilemmas, but she will also ask a series of discovery questions to make sure you are getting the most out of how you live and use your home - all while helping you discover and achieve your personal design style.
Pivoting from a successful career in Sales & Marketing, Tara pursued her true love for style and design at the renowned New York School of Interior Design. Her rural, southern upbringing, along with experience living in urban cities including New York City, Chicago and Atlanta, have helped shape a wonderfully eclectic flair for combining rustic, natural elements with the glamorous and exquisite.
Tara specializes in creating light and airy, chic spaces that strike a balance between traditional elegance and the relaxed modern living.

Tara is the ultimate professional - knowledgeable, responsive, communicative,
and passionate about what she does. Her organized approach and simple questions helped us articulate what we wanted. She helped turn our much needed stale rooms into great living spaces! She saved us so much time and money by keeping us from making costly mistakes. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to find comfort, livability and overall happiness in their space!

It was such a pleasure to work with Tara on my home renovation project!
She was a great listener and really took the time to understand my aesthetic and design goals for the home, while providing, tactfully, guidance and editing when necessary. She also offered valuable money saving options and kid-friendly ideas, which have culminated in a beautiful home that is also very livable- while keeping me on budget! I would highly recommend Tara McKenna Designs!

Tara helped us update our kitchen, living room, dining room, and
playroom and we could not be happier with the results. Tara did a great job
staying within our budget and designing our rooms to function well with our
lifestyle. Finding a rug that won't get destroyed too quickly by 3 dogs and 2
kids is not an easy task. I loved the many options of fabrics and accessories she brought over for me to choose from. Tara was always on time, gave easy to read itemized invoices, and was nothing but a pleasure to work with.
We highly recommend Tara McKenna Designs!!

We liked our new bedroom room so much, that we ended up hiring her for three other rooms in our house! Her work has not only enhanced our home, but our life, and we are so thankful to have found her. She was so helped us understand our design vision, was very professional and providing various options to work with.
