RESIDENTIAL | COMMERCIAL
Tarn McLean Studio is where interior design meets fine art.
Specialising in art-led interiors, the studio offers custom fabrics, wallpapers, and fine art for residential and commercial spaces. As both an artist and interior designer, Tarn works one-on-one with clients and industry professionals to create fully bespoke interiors.
Every project is a collaboration, where art, fabric, and wallpaper come together to tell a unique story—resulting in original, one-of-a-kind spaces designed exclusively for those who want what no one else has.
Through collaborative processes, Tarn creates one off fabric, art and wallpapers for residential and commercial projects. These custom designed wares are not available on the open market, resulting in highly original and personalised spaces. Her customised designs lead the aesthetic unfolding for highly original, art-lead interiors.

Starting out as an accessories label in 2008, founder and artist Tarn McLean designed wearable art for Ocre's first collection of limited edition handbags. Each bag was lined with hand painted fabric and within a few years the fabric was turned into textiles for home furnishings and interiors.
With over 50 fabric designs, the house of Ocre has morphed into an accessories and homewares label, with all fabrics and wallpapers made sustainably to order in Australia. All homewares are suitable for residential and commercial interiors and available for retail and trade.
