Tara McCauley Featured in Homes & Gardens: Chartreuse Interior Design Trend 2025

New York–based interior designer Tara McCauley was recently featured in Homes & Gardens in a story by Julia Demer on the bold return of chartreuse as a key fall interior design trend. Known for her imaginative, art-inspired approach, McCauley shared how this electric 1960s shade brings vibrancy and energy to darker, moodier interiors. In the feature, her work is spotlighted through a striking navy bedroom with a tufted chartreuse leather headboard, photographed by MJ Kroeger.

As McCauley explained, while Brat Green dominated 2024’s cultural landscape, chartreuse is the more refined, design-driven cousin—“fresh and alive” even in winter. Her perspective situates chartreuse not just as a seasonal trend, but as a timeless, expressive color that balances historical reference with modern boldness.

This recognition in Homes & Gardens reinforces Tara McCauley’s reputation as one of New York’s leading interior designers, celebrated for blending luxury interiors, high-impact color, and cultural storytelling.
