Designer Profile

Denise Taratko focuses on reflecting her client’s lifestyle with a transitional, timeless quality. This process includes construction when needed, space planning, custom millwork, then a layering of quality finishes, color, fabrics, textiles, furnishings, lighting, and accessories. Full service and attention to detail define the practice and have made it a success.

Projects vary from one room to new construction. Interacting with architects, builders, and other trades people improves the project flow in all phases. Clients benefit from Denise’s knowledge, relationships with building professionals, trades people, and access to vast resources.

Denise Taratko's resume includes working for a large architectural design firm that caters to high-end residences and commercial office spaces.

She relocated to Fairfield County over ten years ago, and has concentrated on high-end residential work, as well as some corporate projects.

Denise Taratko has been practicing interior design for over 20 years with Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design.

The building environment is addressed and the proper use of materials and finishes used so a project is both aesthetically beautiful and functional.
