Interior designer Tara Benet made a name for herself by curating tight spaces around Manhattan, and Trendir featured one of her living room designs on its list of inspirational living room design ideas. Benet’s eye for color extends to her use of whites in small areas to reflect natural light and preserve clean lines to keep down clutter. Of course, picking which white is where Benet’s training as a painter comes in: Whether it’s a shade of blue or a touch of orange, Benet’s ability to find the right hue to complement a home’s flooring or window layout is just one of the many skills that puts her at the top of the interior design field.
