About Tamara & root cellar’s recent press page
About Tamara and root cellar designs…
Tamara is a residential interior designer, writer and author of Nest by Tamara blog. where she has over 2 million readers. She often speaks at design trade shows and events and writes for a plethora of magazines on the subject of design. She learned the ins and outs of textiles in the early days after graduating from Parsons School of Design when she worked for several designers shopping for fabric and wallpaper. Over the years, she has gleaned design inspiration from journalistic travels, and her musings have taken her from Deco off in Paris to Mercantilefieri in Parma, Italy.
In 2016, Tamara launched root cellar designs where she creates and manufacture a line of American-made fabric, wallpaper and products sold exclusively to trade showrooms around the country.
In 2019, the team was awarded Rising Stars of Design for their product design by the IFDA NY Chapter. In 2021 they ventured into collaborating with other brands to design private label collections for other artists and license products for other brands including a new tile collection with iconic brand Country Floors in 2025 and a developing tabletop collection this year as well.
As a working designer, Tamara understands what other designers are looking for in their projects. The team prides themselves on offering stellar customer service to their designer clientele. When designers ask for custom, the team works quickly to create and manufacture a design.
