A New Orleans Home Defined by European Antiques

On today’s episode of Homeworthy, we’re stepping inside the stunning New Orleans home of Tara Shaw, renowned antique expert, author and interior designer.

With over 20 years of experience in luxury European antiques, Tara has built an impressive career, from launching her own antique reproduction line, Maison, to designing for celebrities and collaborating with Restoration Hardware. Tara’s design philosophy is deeply personal—she believes that a home should be a reflection of the soul, a principle she explores in her book, Soul of the Home. By blending timeless Old World pieces with contemporary art and bespoke designs, she creates spaces that feel both storied and inspired. Her goal? To make your home read like a biography, filled with meaningful pieces that shape the way we live.
