16 Connecticut Interior Designers, Architects, and Landscape Pros to Know From the AD PRO Directory

Tara Benet Design focuses on bringing out the full potential of each interior while also allowing the views of natural landscapes or city skylines to shine. Benet studied classical painting, and she brings her eye for color, composition, and proportion to her elegant, light-filled designs, which utilize neutral palettes, sculptural furnishings, and well-curated art.

International flair runs through the portfolio of globetrotting designer Alexandra Cary. She credits summers spent at the Greenbrier as helping inform her luxurious POV—and no doubt, her travels across Morocco, the Middle East, and other far-flung locales have had an influence too.

Blending elements of maximalism, Art Deco, and Hollywood Regency style, Darien-based Cary is no shrinking violet. Full of drama and narrative, her spaces are as distinctive as the clients she works with.
