ABOUT

 

The Heartland Interior Design is heavily influenced by nature, travel and authenticity. Tara and her team design one-of-a-kind spaces for a diverse group of clients across the country. None of their projects look alike because each client is different. You aren’t like everyone else, and your space shouldn’t be either.

Rather than apply a specific look across all projects, they strive to learn about each client’s tastes and personal style in order to develop a unique environment perfectly suited for them. They build upon each client’s way of life, general aesthetic, brand story, and target market.  

The Heartland Interior Design is perpetually drawn to styles that are: Natural, Textural, Elevated, Contrasting, Authentic, Creative, Artistic, Enjoyable and Grounded. The Heartland Interior Design’s projects span across the United States with previous projects all over Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas and beyond. Their team is equipped to handle any project no matter where the location is.

Sourcing locally made items is paramount to The Heartland Interior Design. They strive to work with local artists, woodworkers, metal artisans, ceramicists and craftsmen on every project because they believe that each project’s location has something special to offer.

Their process involves listening carefully to each client in order to reflect their client’s tastes, and encouraging them to be open minded and think outside the box. This results in a custom project that is truly unique.
