About
I am a HSR Certified Professional interior redesigner, color expert and stager serving San Diego and Surrounding cities. If you need remodeling services, I can get wholesale pricing for the selection of flooring, backsplashes, tile, kitchen cabinets, paint colors for the interior and exterior and all areas of design before you bring in your contractor. I bring old fashioned customer service by getting to know you, your design goals and vision and I even bring samples! Why hassle the crowds when you can shop stress free and see how they work in your home. Cost/Pricing Up Front ... Step 1: Consultation $275 two hour plus - may be all you need. Otherwise, we can provide additional design inspiration. All projects start here! Step 2: If required -- Mood/Room Boards/Edesign starting $950/up depending on size providing shopping links and full design and layout. Great for placement, visualization and for people who like to do themselves but need some help. Great for online projects as these are interactive and work well for all design projects including out of state or long distance clients who need product support. Other options: 1) Hourly/$100 2) Blocks of hours (10 hrs at $90 instead of $100/hr prepaid) for shopping, advice, material selection and other design needs (most economical). Option 2: Full scale project management (priced per project) after consultation. This includes working with contractors, vendors, design, setup and complete one stop shop to complete your project. I do offer pricing by project (by room) when doable. If you do vacation rentals, I can help with your design, paint selection and full service project. Do it right and you will get top dollar! Trade available as well, Speciality: Organic Coastal with nuetral tones with kisses of color integrating unique styles such as modern, old world and vintage. Speciality: Airbnb/Vacation Home Design and Full Service Set Up. Color Consultations start at $375 and up for Interiors main base color ($75 for each additional color). Exterior Color Consultation start at $375 for two color options ($75 for each additional color). Pricing based on square footage. With many different design styles successfully executed for my clients, I love watching the magic happen when a vision comes to life! I love working with people, calming their fears and reassuring them we can do this! My focus is to utilize my redesign and staging style skills to update your home, vacation rental or Airbnb with simple changes or a complete makeover that will increase your bookings, home sales or simply an extra hand to get you organized before a sale. Let's get your color scheme right the first time. You will spend thousands on hiring a painter (who are not color experts) and a wrong choice outside or inside the home can be costly! I have completed the most comprehensive and intensive home staging, redesign and color certification courses provided by the Home Staging Resource. They have set the standards for the industry! The HSR Certification program was the first and is one of the only Accredited staging training by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) who is the governing body for the home staging industry.​ I have learned that clients want new ideas, different approaches and new ways of envisioning their space. No judgement, no pushy sales pitch. My goal is to get you, your vision and help achieve YOUR goals for your home, office or vacation rentals. Let's do this together! Taras Coastal Interiors

I hate writing reviews, but I had to for Ms Tara. But I used AI so bear with me! Here's a snappier, sassier version of your review for Tara: "Hands down, the slickest move I’ve made for my home in two decades was snagging Tara—design goddess, style maven, and all-around cool cat. No wonder she’s staging homes and running Airbnbs like a boss. One phone call, a quick vibe-check questionnaire, and some shaky videos of my DIY chaos later, she swooped in like a superhero with a paintbrush. Kicked things off by slapping dark gray on my brick fireplace and hooking me up with a killer mirror. She nailed wall and ceiling colors, tossing me three epic options like a design DJ spinning my taste into gold. Even had Sherwin-Williams sample sheets delivered so I could play interior designer without the flop. Tara, you’re the real MVP—my dream home’s coming alive, and I’ll be sliding into your DMs with updates!" Short, punchy, and dripping with praise—perfect for a stellar review!

Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Living room • Less than 500 sq ft • Color palette / paint selection • Lighting selection • Window treatments selection • Craftsman / Farmhouse • Midcentury Modern • Industrial • My home, venue, etc.

Tara was an absolute lifesaver during a very critical moment in our project. She stepped in and took ownership, ensured everything stayed on track during a time of unexpected transition, and went above and beyond. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to problem-solve under pressure made a huge difference. She has a great eye for design, understands how to balance function with aesthetics, and was incredibly easy to work with. I’m genuinely grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer.

Details: Commercial or office design • Office space • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Color palette / paint selection • Furniture selection • I'm flexible • My home, venue, etc.

Taras was amazing to work with. She took her time and was incredibly detailed, walking through each room and really helping us visualize how everything could come together. What stood out most was how much she listened—she worked with our style, preferences, and goals rather than pushing ideas that didn’t fit us. Her guidance made the whole process feel clear and manageable, and she was also readily available for follow-up questions, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone thoughtful, patient, and truly invested in helping you create a space that feels like you, I highly recommend Taras Coastal Interiors.

Tara transformed my home with creativity, skill, and an incredible eye for detail. She guided me toward smart, lasting decisions, introduced ideas I never would have imagined, and saved me from costly mistakes. Her design brought everything together—harmonious colors tied to my art, beautifully layered textures (grasscloth, wood, wool, leather), and unique touches like a landscape mural and a “color washed” ceiling that created the perfect cozy retreat. Even her bold choice of glossy white paint and a stunning mirror now flood my home with San Diego’s light and views. Tara listens. When I disagreed on a detail, she pivoted instantly, offering equally brilliant alternatives. She’s tireless, talented, and deeply invested in creating your perfect space. Working with her was an absolute joy.
