How it works
Design your world
Tarn McLean Studio creates interior legacies through visual storytelling, translating each client’s aspirations into bespoke, art-led spaces.
From signature fabrics for a treasured armchair to digitally printed and hand-painted wallpapers, the studio combines innovation with artistic expertise to deliver the highest quality designs.
Working with individuals and industry professionals, the studio ensures each project is built around original art, custom fabrics, and wallpapers that transform interiors into meaningful, one-of-a-kind environments. No two spaces are the same—every design is created for those who want what no one else has.

engagement & discovery
Every project begins with a deep dive into the client’s vision, aesthetic preferences, and spatial context. Whether working alongside architects and interior designers or directly with private clients, this phase is about establishing a shared creative language. Through in-depth consultations, mood boards, and exploratory discussions, we define the essence of the project—ensuring every element aligns with the architecture, interior scheme, and the client’s aspirations.
concept development
Once the creative direction is clear, the conceptualisation process begins. This involves a fusion of research, sketches, and digital mockups, exploring scale, proportion, and surface application. Whether designing bespoke wallpaper, textile patterns, or site-specific artworks, this phase ensures that each design integrates seamlessly into the broader design narrative.
art creation & refinement
At the core of our process is a commitment to craftsmanship. The art phase involves the creation of original artwork—hand-painted, digitally composed, or a combination of both—tailored to the project’s aesthetic. Material selection is equally critical, ensuring that textures, finishes, and substrates enhance both the visual and tactile experience of the space.
design and sampling
Precision is key in translating artistic concepts into final products. This stage includes technical refinement, color calibration, and material sampling, where patterns, motifs, and compositions are meticulously adjusted to achieve perfect harmony. Clients receive prototypes, test prints, and material swatches to experience the design’s depth and detail before final production.
interior design &
art direction
Beyond individual artworks or surface designs, our expertise extends to curating entire spatial experiences. We provide art direction, ensuring that custom-designed elements—whether large-scale mural installations, decorative panels, or bespoke textiles—work cohesively with furnishings, architectural finishes, and lighting schemes. Beyond design, we oversee the integration of bespoke elements within the broader interior scheme, collaborating closely with architects, designers, and manufacturers to maintain cohesion and artistic integrity across the project. This ensures a seamless dialogue between art and interior design, where every detail contributes to a refined and immersive environment.
fine art
For clients seeking a singular statement piece, we offer the option to commission fine art paintings tailored to their space. Whether as a focal point in a residence, a feature in a commercial setting, or a private collection piece, these works are developed with the same meticulous attention to detail, ensuring they resonate with the space’s unique narrative.
