We sold our previous house fully furnished, so she had her hands full filling our new home. Leslie really listened to what we wanted, and managed to bring together an amazingly beautiful home. We were not afraid of color, and she brought so many different ideas, some we never would have thought of, but we ended up loving her inspiration. Her attention to detail is impressive. We are so excited to enjoy our unique, vibrant, comfortable home for years to come. **★★★★★ — siri, Jan. 2023** > Love Malibu Interiors! Leslie listened to what we wanted and understood how to handle the process of redoing the interior of our home. Leslie made selections carefully and gave us choices. I would recomend Leslie for anyone who would like to redesign their home. **★★★★★ — April Kettelle, Jan. 2023** > It has been the best experience working with Leslie and Tim at Malibu West Interiors. Leslie is seasoned at designing all types of interior spaces. I knew early on that she was listening and working to get me the contemporary style home I wanted but did not know how to achieve. Leslie is easy to work with and has good insight about what not to do, which is so important. She brings clear but creative thinking to the decision process. This really helped the project keep moving. Her years of experience and professionalism really shines through. **★★★★★ — Leslie Lanham, April 2019** > We have absolutely enjoyed working with Leslie and Tim Thompson of Malibu West Interiors. We were looking for a designer that was creative (no cookie-cutter plans, thank you!), comfortable with unusual spaces and the design problems that they can present and responsive to our individual design tastes. We found all of our needs - and more - were met by Leslie of Malibu West (Leslie handles the project design and her husband, Tim, handles the backside of the business). We needed to completely redecorate our Naples condo and had to work with the terra-cotta tile floor that we had " inherited" from a previous owner. In addition to our floors, we had installed new cabinets and done tile work in our bathrooms several years before getting to the next phase of our decorating plan. Needless to say, it was going to take someone very special to come in and bring everything together as if it had all been planned out from the start. Leslie did an outstanding job of meeting us where we were in our design phase and helping us to take things to the next level. She was very communicative, especially by email, since our main home is not in Naples. My husband and I travelled down to meet with Leslie several times for her to get a sense of our style and our project. But, after that, we communicated mostly by email. It was wonderful and seamless to be able to receive design ideas and selections in this way. If something didn't translate by email well, Leslie was sure to call in order to elaborate on a concept or answer any questions. Had we known about Leslie sooner, we would have had her take care of our cabinet and tile project, too! But, lesson learned and we will be calling her for our needs in the future. There are so many designers to choose from in the Naples area it can be hard to narrow down the field to that one special design firm. But, if you are looking for a design team that is talented, undaunted by design dilemmas, professional in every way (communicative, flexible, reliable, adaptable..) then look no further than Leslie and Tim of Malibu West Interiors. **★★★★★ — Ruth, April 2019** > Leslie transformed my bedroom! She was a joy to work with, and I am thrilled with how beautiful my bedroom looks now! I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — melissa8780, Dec. 2017** > I have had two wonderful experiences with Leslie at Malibu West Interiors. We worked very well together and she understood my needs perfectly. My home is beautiful and I would highly recommend Leslie and her staff! **★★★★★ — beachvet, Dec. 2017** > I am highly satisfied with all of my interior design projects completed by Malibu West Interiors. Their integrity and attention to detail is unsurpassed within the profession. I intend to continue to utilize their excellent services for all my interior design needs and refer them to others seeking an amazing team of design professionals. **★★★★★ — Amy Reynolds, Dec. 2017** > Leslie is an outstanding interior designer! > Extremely professional, creative, flexible, and a great listener. > She is a pleasure to work with and a great problem solver. > In the last few years Leslie and I have worked on numerous small designs that she has given a tremendous amount of attention and detail to regardless the size of the project. > I feel extremely grateful to have found leslie and cannot wait to work together again soon. **★★★★★ — Tatijana, Oct. 2017** > With Leslie's interior design mastery she helped me create a beautiful home for my family. Her honesty, patience and in-depth knowledge made for a smooth design process for my new home from helping me select window treatments, paint colors, counter selections, flooring and lighting,etc. Will definitely work with Leslie again and highly recommend her professionalism and expertise. **★★★★★ — B, Oct. 2017** > Thank you so much for everything you have done to help us get situated in our new home. My husband and I really enjoy working with you and your professionalism is truly valued and appreciated. I couldn't have done any of it without you and appreciate all the advice, phone calls, texts, recommendations, and most of all iyour personal touch with your beautiful smile. We are so happy with the furniture, artwork, and it's placement in our new home. **★★★★★ — User, May 2017** > Leslie provided valuable input on my custom home building project and offered advice on lighting, fabric, and wallpaper selections (to name a few!). She was readily available to answer any questions I had and is knowledgeable and creative when it comes to interior design. I highly recommend Leslie and Malibu West Interiors for all your decorating needs. **★★★★★ — Aldecor Custom Framing & Gallery, Sept. 2016** > I have worked with Leslie Thompson for over 10 years. It is an absolute joy to work with Leslie! She is an excellent communicator who listens to her clients and delivers an outstanding design every time.
