Led by Lara O’Donnell, Tailored HQ is a boutique interior design studio and showroom based in Newcastle, with clients across the Hunter Region and beyond.
Beautiful Interiors, Tailored to You
Refined interiors, calm spaces, expert support - Tailored to you.
Located in the heart of Newcastle, our retail showroom is open to the public six days a week – a thoughtfully curated space for design-lovers, renovators, and homemakers ready to bring their vision to life.
Explore a refined collection of furniture and accessories for sale, alongside the largest selection of fabric and wallpaper in Newcastle. Whether you’re sourcing that one piece your space is missing, selecting the perfect fabric, or finding a beautifully wrapped gift for someone special – our team is here to help you choose with confidence.
It’s a tactile, inspiring environment where ideas take shape and decisions feel easy. And beyond what’s on the shelves, there’s a sense of calm and clarity that lets you know you’re in the right place.
Who we are
Our team brings a refined, real-world approach to interiors. We combine design expertise with everyday functionality to help you feel confident in your decisions – and excited by the results.
We’re straight-talking when it counts, thoughtful in the details, and deeply invested in creating homes that feel calm, curated, and completely yours
"It's not just about what looks good - it's about what fits you."
Why We’re Here
Because creating a home you love shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
At Tailored HQ, we understand the tension between wanting a space that reflects your style and the sheer number of decisions that stand in the way. Whether you’re mid-renovation, refreshing a forever home, or just not sure how to tie it all together – you’re not alone.
We bring clarity to the chaos, turning that swirl of samples, Pinterest boards, and half-decisions into something beautifully resolved.

Our Approach
Design that feels like you – elevated, layered, and thoughtfully guided.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every home has its own rhythm, its own story to tell. Our role is to listen, interpret, and guide – blending function with beauty in a way that’s tailored to how you live.
From full interior concepts to selecting the perfect rug or fabric, we create spaces that are refined but never fussy, practical yet full of soul.
The Studio
Located in the heart of Newcastle, our design studio and retail showroom is a curated destination for design-lovers, renovators, and homemakers alike.
Step inside and you’ll find custom furniture, exclusive textiles, and local art layered intentionally – a space where ideas come to life and decisions are made with confidence.
It’s not just about what’s on the shelves. It’s about the feeling you get when you walk in. A sense of calm. Of clarity. Of knowing you’re in the right place.
