About me

Hi, I’m Sarah, a Certified Interior Decorator (C.I.D.) color enthusiast, maximalist at heart, and the founder of Sarah McCarty Interiors.

I believe a home should feel like you - layered, personal, a little bold, and never boring. My love of design started early, growing up in a home filled with color, pattern, and my father’s artwork on nearly every wall. That creative foundation shaped how I see spaces today: not as blank slates, but as stories waiting to be told.

My own decorating journey really took off when my husband and I bought our first home. Since then, we’ve moved a few times - but in every space, I’ve leaned into color, texture, and art to bring out the personality of each room (yes, even the powder room has a story to tell). From hand-stenciled walls to perfectly placed vintage finds, I’ve learned that great design doesn’t have to be intimidating - it just has to feel right.

I started this business because I genuinely love the process - curating, sourcing, space planning, styling. What feels overwhelming to many lights me up. Whether you're refreshing a corner or tackling a full-room makeover, I’m here to help you create a space that feels like you and works for the way you actually live.

My work and design perspective have been featured in a variety of online publications, including Southern Living, Real Simple, and Apartment Therapy.

We spend more time at home than ever - why not make it a space you absolutely love coming back to?

Let’s create something meaningful, fun, and a little unexpected!
