OUR APPROACH

The best homes feel effortless and personal, by design

Effortless living isn’t an accident. It’s the result of thoughtful planning, smart decisions and spaces that support the way you move through your day.

We look at how you use your home, and how you want your home to feel. What doesn't work and would make life easier. Then we design with intention.

Think of us as the editor for your home. The essentials stay. The distractions go. What remains is a space that feels calm, functional and unmistakably yours.

Our goal is not just a beautiful home. Our goal is a home that feels alive, grounded and genuinely you.

WHAT WE DO

Interior design for renovations and custom homes

  • For renovations, custom builds and commercial projects.

    We begin by understanding how you want your home to feel. From there we create layouts, source materials, refine the details and guide every step of the process so the finished space reflects your vision and personality with clarity.

  • Professional guidance from wherever you call home.

    You receive a tailored design plan and curated selections so you can move forward with confidence and bring the space together on your own timeline.

BEHIND LEO

Hi, I’m Carrie.

I help bring your ideas to life in a way that actually works.

Great design isn’t about filling a room with pretty things. It’s understanding how you live, who you are, and creating a space that supports that. Sometimes it means pushing for a better layout. Sometimes it means simplifying. It always means thinking ahead so you do not have to.

I stay hands-on with every project and work closely with contractors and trades and advocate for your vision from start to finish. I handle the decisions you didn’t know you had to make and the behind-the-scenes details that keep your project moving. You get a home that feels cohesive, thoughtful and completely your own without the stress that usually comes with renovation or new construction.

MORE ON US

  • “Couldn't recommend Carrie more!"

    “We moved into a modern condo and were more used to traditional vibes. Carrie helped us to create a space that feels current, elevated but still somehow completely like us. She pushed us outside our comfort zone in the best way - every choice ended up being better than what we would have picked on our own. We have a perfect blend of modern and warm/inviting and it feels 100% like us. We couldn't have done it without her.”

    / Erin & Mark

  • “We used the LEO team to design a remodel of our entire house."

    “They suggested layout ideas that we would have never thought of on our own. They were very helpful throughout the entire process, from concepts and layouts down to selections. I would use them again in a heartbeat.”

    / Hayley & Kyle

  • “Carrie was such a pleasure to work with."

    “We were on a very tight timeline, and she went above and beyond to get our new furniture and décor in place in time for move-in. She has incredible taste, is easy to work with, and truly cares about her clients. She immediately made our house feel like home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”

    / Lindsay & Jesse

  • “Carrie was wonderful to work with!"

    “She understood our vision perfectly and did a great job of integrating existing pieces with updated decor. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”

    / Suzanne & Don

  • “From the start, Carrie impressed us with her design expertise, presenting beautifully curated concept boards that perfectly captured our vision."

    “She guided us through every detail, making thoughtful adjustments to ensure the final design reflected our style and needs.

We wholeheartedly recommend LEO Design Interiors to anyone looking for exceptional design and project management.”

    / Carrie & Yves

  • “Working with Carrie to design our outdoor living area/patio was an effortless experience."

    “She has a confident eye for how to make the most of a potential space. From our first design planning discussion through to the delivery and assembly of our patio furniture the project was organized and always moving forward. Carrie managed an ideal balance between working with our taste and confidently focusing the design. All those frustrating little details and complications (like order delays, coordinating deliveries, etc) which can drain the fun from a project were out of sight and out of mind. We had complete confidence that Carrie had everything under control. Her communication and organizational skills are really excellent and made the process a breeze. We wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Carrie and Leo Design Interiors for any home design projects.”

    / Paris & Jake

  • “Carrie was invaluable in helping us with the interior design aspects of our two-story renovation."

    “From her stunning mood boards, to sourcing amazing furniture and design elements that fit within our budget, she truly made the process pain-free. Her eye for beautiful design and timeless pieces sets her above the rest. Carrie’s interior design plans created a cohesive look throughout our house and she seamlessly executed our vision of updating our century home, while maintaining the character and charm. Above all, Carrie really listens and was able to incorporate our personal style in a way that felt effortless. I whole-heartedly recommend her services to all my friends!”

    / Kendra & Ryan

  • “Working with LEO Design Interiors on our office renovation was an outstanding experience from start to finish."

    “Carrie took the time to truly listen and understand our vision, then thoughtfully built upon it and elevated it in ways we couldn’t have achieved on our own. Her ideas, insight, and attention to detail were invaluable, and the final result is a direct reflection of her ability to translate vision into reality.

    What really set Carrie apart was her availability and level of engagement. She was consistently responsive, proactive, and deeply invested in the project, ensuring that every detail of the design was carried through as intended. That level of involvement made a complex renovation feel far more manageable and gave us confidence at every stage.

    We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend LEO Design Interiors to anyone looking for a designer who genuinely cares about the process and the end result.”
