We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsey Leigh Design! Their team designed every inch of our home, and we have loved it from the moment we moved in. Their attention to detail is incredible, and they have such a talent for creating spaces that feel luxurious and beautiful while still being comfortable, inviting, and personal. We love to entertain, and they thoughtfully designed our home to be both functional for guests and full of special, sentimental details that make it feel uniquely ours. We receive so many compliments on our home! We are now using them to design our baby girl’s nursery and couldn’t be more excited. Everyone on their team is talented, kind, creative, and truly wonderful to work with. We absolutely love Kelsey Leigh Design and couldn’t recommend them more!

Working with Kelsey Leigh Design Co. was one of the best decisions we made for our home. Kelsey and her team have a rare ability to listen closely, understand how you actually live, and translate that into a space that feels both beautiful and completely personal. What stood out most was the selection process. Kelsey and her team made what could have been an overwhelming number of decisions feel easy and even enjoyable. They came prepared with thoughtful, curated options for furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and finishes, explained the reasoning behind each recommendation, and were always honest about what would work best for the space and our budget. We never felt pressured, and every choice felt intentional. Their eye for detail, organization, and responsiveness kept the project moving smoothly from start to finish. The end result is a home that feels warm, cohesive, and elevated, and we get compliments on it constantly. If you're looking for a design team that is talented, professional, and genuinely invested in getting it right for you, I can't recommend Kelsey Leigh Design Co. highly enough.

Where do we even begin?! Kelsey Lee Designs absolutely exceeded every expectation we had. From the very start, Kelsey and her team took the time to truly get to know us — our lifestyle, our personalities, our dreams for our new home. They were kind, fun, knowledgeable, and personable every step of the way. What really set KLD apart was how thoughtful they were in making sure our home felt personal to us — not a copy-and-paste design, but something that reflected who we are as a family. They took all the stress out of the process and made it genuinely enjoyable. And the end result? A home that isn’t just beautiful to look at — it’s livable, functional, comfortable, and inviting for everyone. It works for real, everyday life while still feeling like something straight out of a magazine. The best part? At the end of it all, we got our very own real-life HGTV reveal moment. Walking in and seeing all the time, care, and effort that went into making our house feel like our home was an experience we will never forget. We felt so seen and so special. If you’re looking for a design team that will pour their heart into your home, look no further than Kelsey Lee Designs. 10/10, we can’t recommend them enough! 🏡 🤎🤎

We hired KLD to help us with a remodel and addition to my parents home. We couldn't be more pleased with the entire process and final product! Kelsey listened to our needs and wants and delivered the house of our dreams! She was so creative in her vision and made the whole process fun and stress free. We truly enjoyed working with Kelsey and her team. We've lived in our house now for a year and my wife and I comment frequently how functional the layout and flow of the house is now. We absolutely love the furnishings we purchased and the decor. Kelsey also did a great job incorporating the furniture, antiques, and decor that we already owned into the design. We recommend KLD to all our friends!

We hired KLD for design, furnishing, & project-management services for our home renovation during 2022–2024. Unfortunately, we were deeply disappointed with their service. Cabinetry We expressed to KLD that we desired our home to have an organic & cozy look. KLD’s drawings specified white oak, full overlay cabinetry, which aligned with the aesthetic and design intent we expressed. As first-time homeowners navigating hundreds of decisions, we relied on the professionals involved to ensure the finished product reflected what was documented. The KLD team worked actively with the general contractor and carpenter on the handoff so the team understood what was to be built. After moving in and revisiting the plans—prompted by other issues that had already affected our trust & the persistent feeling that our cabinets were “off”—we learned that what was installed was not full overlay and included large & uneven spacing between doors & drawers, the opposite of the streamlined look we had approved in KLD’s design. The topics of overlay or spacing between doors & drawers were never raised to us by KLD or the builder at any point during design, handoff, or installation. Kelsey personally kept insisting that we did receive full-overlay cabinets when we raised the discrepancy, while also suggesting that it was our responsibility for not saying something earlier about the gaps. We did not share that view, and multiple industry professionals independently confirmed that the installed cabinets were not full overlay nor what was shown in the KLD drawings which we had approved. The combination of the physical result and the way the concern was addressed fundamentally changed the project for us, and that experience has stayed with us long after completion. Because the cabinetry appears in nearly every room, it continues to shape how we experience the space, and it was not the result we believed we were paying for when we approved the drawings. Rod Finish We approved drapery rods that were presented as “antique brass,” but the installed product was a painted iron that appeared black. We were not shown a physical sample before approval, & when we raised the discrepancy the resolution involved more substantially more negotiation & discussion than we anticipated, including around a fair price. This process unnecessarily took several months after move-in. Measurement Issue In our bar room, the beverage fridge was installed in a space where the door could not open due to the measurements used for the design. This required us to purchase a replacement at our own cost and reinforced our concern about coordination and oversight. Billing After we fired KLD in the midst of the planning stage of the 2nd phase of the project, we reviewed invoices more closely because trust had already been strained. We learned that hours for furnishing coordination were invoiced after delivery rather than contemporaneously, when project management was billed timely, making it challenging to understand cost timing and how fees were accumulating over the course of the project. We also spot-checked various furnishings and discovered some smaller items were billed at roughly ~2x typical retail pricing, something we were not aware of and was not mentioned in the contract. Social Media Attribution We later saw multiple design outcomes highlighted on KLD’s social media that were not the result of their recommendations or work, but rather decisions we made independently or solutions implemented by others, yet were presented as their own—reinforcing our concerns about their process and representation. Final Perspective The combination of design discrepancies, communication challenges, and clarity around billing left us regretting our decision to work with this firm. For prospective clients, we strongly recommend confirming billing transparency in writing, requesting physical samples for any material or finish, and independently reviewing construction handoffs or engaging a third-party professional to do so.

Working with Kelsey and her team has been such a amazing experience!! From the beginning she just *got* what we were trying to do, even when I wasn’t really sure how to explain it myself lol. Her taste is super cool and different, not cookie cutter like a lot of other designers I've seen. Every room looks like us but waaay better than we ever could’ve done alone. She was always patient with all my last minute changes (and there were a few haha) and her team stayed on top of things even when shipping delays happened. The whole process felt way less stressfull than I expected. Everyone that walks in our home says the same thing—“wow.” Def reccomend her to anyone building, renovating, or just needing help making things feel more pulled together. We already planning to work with her again on our next space!

I love KLD and her team. They are talented, professional and know how to treat a customer. As a real estate agent KLD is top of my referral list for large scale, elevated, custom design projects. Kelsey has an eye for unique details and if you work with her long enough, you’ll get to enjoy her hilarious sense of humor. 10/10

Kelsey and her team are talented and true professionals. We have collaborated on many projects together and we are always impressed with their results and processes. The entire team is fabulous and we enjoy working with them in our showroom!

The KLD team is kind and professional. They are personable, and the quality of work is outstanding! They turn houses into cozy and comfy homes. Decorating homes with a vision that is unique and unmatched. They set the bar high and frequently are raising that bar to be one of the best design teams to exist. God bless the KLD team!

Kelsey and her team have a fantastic eye for design and home decoration! They consult with each client and find your individual style and vision for the home that you wish you lived in. After meetings, the ordering, the shipping, the excitement and expectation... It is finally time for the instalation! When Kelsey and the ladies walk you through your home, you will realize that you actually have the home that you wished for! Anyone can hang pictures on walls and put a new couch in your house. I love this group of decorators because their attention to details and thoughtful consideration of their client's personal style, make the difference between a nice house, and the home that you dreamed of living in!!
