My mission is to simplify interior design by teaching you the basics in the most attainable way possible.

Hi, I’m Tara!

If you’re a down-to-earth person looking to transform your home, you’re in the right place!

I believe that good interior design is for everyone and that practical people can do anything with the right knowledge & inspiration.

Do you love interior design and want to create a beautiful home for your family, but don’t know where to begin?

Perfect, because True Design House is a place to get design advice tailored to the best kind of people:

open-minded, capable, driven people who are ready to get things done... they just need some design guidance, some positive encouragement and some inspiration.

I believe that good interior design is for everyone and that practical people can do anything with the right knowledge & inspiration.

Over 25 years ago, I graduated from Mount Royal University's Interior Design program. After 12 years in corporate design, I now lead True Design House.

I collaborate with clients both locally and online to develop beautiful plans that elevate their homes, create spaces they love, and avoid costly mistakes.

I work with local clients on renovations and staging for real estate, and I’ve written many articles, including a popular series on living with oak. My online community has over 36,000 members seeking interior design advice.

Aside from client projects, much of my time is devoted to the process of creating comprehensive design guides, engaging e-books, and informative courses specifically aimed at helping others love the spaces in which they live.

I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to share my design experience with you!

True Design House specializes in a few niche areas where I have extensive experience. This knowledge enables me to offer solutions for some design areas that are often overlooked.
