OUR STORY

_________________

Maeve founded Maeve Carr Design in 2010, bringing a distinctive, art-forward approach to interior design that sets her apart. Her journey into the world of design began decades earlier. In the 1980s annd 1990s Maeve ran a successful business in millinery and fashion accessories. The Maeve Carr sculptural hat for Donna Karan’s debut collection gained widespread acclaim, earning her eatures in Vogue, The New York Times, and other leading fashion publications. Maeve Carr Design fashion products were sold in prestigious stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

Maeve’s creative path evolved in 2010, when she saw an opportunity to merge her extensive design experience with her lifelong passion for art and architecture. What began as staging high-end real estate in New York City naturally evolved into full-scale interior design for discerning clients in New York City, Connecticut, Westchester and beyond.

A Princeton graduate with a degree in the History of Art, Maeve brings a trained eye and deep understanding of color, light, spatial perspective, and visual storytelling. These foundations shape every project. Her interiors often begin with a carefully curated artwork that sets the tone and informs the design direction. In other cases, art is introduced at the end as a defining finishing touch. Regardless, Maeve ensures that each space tells a cohesive and meaningful story in which art and design are in seamless dialogue.

At Maeve Carr Design, the process is collaborative. Maeve works closely with clients to understand their lifestyle, needs, and aesthetic preferences, inviting them into the creative process as much as they’d like. The result is a space that is not only visually stunning and functionally sound, but also deeply personal, welcoming, and truly feels like home.
