Custom made curtains, blinds, bedding & more for your home

Since opening the doors in 2017, Tailored HQ has become a haven for those seeking beautifully considered interiors without the overwhelm. 

The Newcastle-based showroom and design studio was born from a desire to create a one-stop destination, a place where clients could source everything from fabrics and furniture to trades and design expertise, all under one roof, as owner Lara O’Donnell explains,

“I saw a gap in the market for a calm, curated interior design destination.”

“Our aim has always been to give people confidence and clarity when making decisions about their homes.”

A boutique blend of design and retail

Part design studio, part retail space, Tailored HQ offers everything from full-service interior design and project management to bespoke curtains, blinds, and styling sessions. The showroom brims with furniture, lighting, art, rugs, linens, and an ever-evolving mix of locally made homewares and gifts. 

Whether you’re renovating an entire home or simply searching for the perfect finishing touch, the experience feels refreshingly personal and seamless.

In the past year, the team has expanded its design arm to take on more large-scale renovations and new builds, introduced virtual consultations for out-of-town clients, and refreshed the showroom to showcase its expanding fabric and wallpaper libraries. 

Workshops and styling sessions are now part of the mix, creating an even more interactive experience for design lovers.

Local craftsmanship, thoughtful design

Forget mass-market brands, Tailored HQ champions craftsmanship and individuality. The studio curates small-batch pieces from Australian artisans producing glassware, ceramics, and textiles in limited quantities. 

Many soft furnishings are even custom-made in Newcastle, meaning clients can take home something truly unique.

Trends with texture and tech

Locally, the team has noticed a rise in motorised window furnishings, a smart, stylish solution that’s as practical as it is luxurious. Textured wallpapers are also making a comeback, with homeowners favouring grasscloth and linen-look finishes for a soft, hotel-inspired feel.

And perhaps the most welcome trend of all? A move toward personalisation and longevity. As the Tailored HQ team notes, “People want calm, considered spaces that reflect their personality – not something that feels like a display home.”

It’s a philosophy that perfectly sums up Tailored HQ: timeless design, made personal.
