This North Carolina Home is a Colorful, Art-Filled Dream

We’re stepping inside the stunning Durham, North Carolina, home of interior designer and art consultant Tara Clayton. Her home is a masterclass in blending patterns, colors, and an extraordinary array of art, spanning carefully collected pieces and fine works.

From vibrant hues of green and blue to seamless indoor-outdoor living, every corner feels intentional and full of life. With Florida roots, her family loves opening the doors between the family room and the outdoor porch, creating a true connection to the outdoors. Each of her children’s rooms captures their unique personalities—her daughter’s room bursts with lively wallpaper, while her sons’ spaces inspire adventure and play.

Tara has built a career bridging the worlds of art and design, and her family’s home is a reflection of that passion. Throughout the home, art serves as the thread that tells her family’s story, making each space not just beautiful, but deeply personal and welcoming.
