Tara Shaw’s design principles are shaped by her firm belief that the interior design should be a reflection of the soul, hint her book “Soul of the Home”.  With New Orleans as a backdrop, she is always inspired by its architectural beauty and European sensibility.

Over the past 20 years Tara has known success as a European importer and designer. Her unparalleled eye for design, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, motivated her to launch her own line of antique reproduction and custom furniture, Maison, in 2007. She began licensing with Restoration Hardware in 2013 and continues to thrive in both product design and interior decorating. In 2024, she launched an 80-piece collection for Century Furniture that is now available.

Known for blending one-of-a-kind antiquity, collectable contemporary, and sleek Mid-Century, she has worked on numerous notable design projects and has been featured on HGTV and in international shelter magazines. Tara resides in Uptown New Orleans with her loving husband, Robert Walsh, and their darling whippet child, Sister Lucca.
