Rande Leaman Interior Design

Rande was AWESOME, very thoughtful and gave great suggestions based on my wants and needs. She is very communicative and makes sure to never overstep while giving great guidance and opinions. Would highly recommend.

I contacted Rande after researching some designers in my area. I had been working with another designer on a complete remodel of my house. After the construction was completed, I felt the designer wasn't getting where I wanted to go with the interior design and so when I met with Rande I felt she understood what was wrong and where this project needed to go in order to finish it. I had been working on this project for a few years and I was exhausted. Rande made it so easy for me! She put together a presentation and gave me a few options and when I couldn't make a decision, I put my trust in her experience, taste and knowledge. We are very close to finishing and I am absolutely thrilled with everything. It has truly been a pleasure working with Rande and her darling assistant, Emilie.

Rande is amazing. We worked with her initially on our second floor complete remodel, and she was the first person we called when it was time to do our first floor overhaul. Rande's style is impeccable, she is very detail oriented, highly organized, collaborative and a pleasure to work with. She was the best part of both remodels, and we are thrilled with our beautiful house!

This is our first project with Rande and her input and advice have been invaluable! She is always professional, courteous and punctual. I know that I can rely on her and her years of experience. She has saved us countless hours by leading us in the right direction and through her many contacts. Thanks Rande!

I worked with Rande on two separate projects, seven years apart. One a condo and the other a house, both in the San Fernando Valley. What I liked most about working with her was her willingness to listen to what I wanted and pick designs, decor and furniture that matched my tastes and my home - but better than I would have chosen - rather than trying to impose her own sense of style on me. I interviewed several other designers before choosing her both times and the others very much seemed to just have their own agendas and didn’t really ask me questions about what I wanted. She was always available and helpful for consultations about even minor things, and she was very gentle but firm about steering me away from my own bad choices. She was also helpful in keeping my budget down. Where there were some items where we went for the more expensive option because of the quality and the degree to which they would be a centerpiece for my home, there were several other areas where she steered me toward choices that were less expensive than my initial expectations. Working with her was like if I had gone to design school myself and used that expertise to conjure up my own dream home.

Rande is wonderful to work with. After consulting with us about updating our living room and dining room, she presented us with her design idea and brought us several options of wood flooring, furniture, rugs, draperies, fabric samples, etc. She was always responsive and available to discuss any ideas and questions from us, and always felt that she listened to us. In the end, we are so happy with the result! The rooms look great. We would definitely hire Rande again for other projects.

This is the third time we have had Rande help us with designing rooms in our home. She really takes the time to understand exactly what you want and has such a knack for finding exactly what you want! She is always in communication with vendors to make sure everything arrives as expected and deals with any issues immediately. You would think you were her only client. We appreciate all she has done for us, would highly recommend her and would absolutely have her help us again in the future.

Our dining room looks amazing! Thank you Rande!! This is the 2nd time we've worked with Rande and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is super collaborative, has an eye for detail and is an incredible designer. She always goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. I would highly recommend her for your next project.

Working with Rande is one of the best decisions we made for our home! She pays incredible attention to measurements, details, line and color. Very important to me is her respect for our vision and comfort, discussing all of those aspects with us and recommending several ideas in each area of design as well as interfacing with stores and design creators of our choosing. She is an expert in design and I would recommend her to anyone. I would Definitely work with her again.

Rande is a master of her realm. Her knowledge base is comprehensive, and her artistry speaks for itself. In addition, she is extremely easy to work with, and has the capacity to share in a way which makes one feel mirrored and included. You can look forward to an amazing experience with her!

This is the third project and second house that I've worked with Rande on, and I remain a massive fan. This time we did a large renovation of my new house, including a complete kitchen and master bedroom & closet remodel, and a refresh throughout the house to turn it into my home. Rande is phenomenal to work with -- she has impeccable taste, smart ideas, and makes great recommendations, but perhaps most importantly she really listens to you and your needs and preferences, and modifies and flexes to suit you. I also appreciate that Rande is not insistent on everything being "top dollar" -- she is incredibly flexible with price points, providing recommendations in a good range to allow you to choose where you want to spend more money, where a little less, etc. I so enjoy working with Rande, picking through her recommendations, giving feedback and knowing that we will land somewhere fabulous together. Rande also has great sources and contacts -- I've worked with many tradesman (including our general contractor) who she has recommended, and they have been universally terrific. I really can't say enough great things about Rande and would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented designer to work with.

As a very busy, single, professional with absolutely no talent for decorating or design, the project of designing my new home was to me very formidable task. I was looking for someone who was competent, efficient with time, collaborative, flexible, trustworthy and a great communicator. After meeting with a handful of designers, it was clear I wanted to work with Rande. She proved to be everything I was looking for and more. Rande is warm, talented, resourceful, and made my life so much easier- taking care of things while I was away busy at work. She took my feedback and incorporated my personal likes and passions into the design of my home. She was easily available to answer questions and always returned my phone calls promptly. There were many times I was anxious about a decision- not knowing how things might look, but Rande was very patient and reassuring. The outcome was more than I could have asked for, and it was completed in the time frame I desired! I recently had a house-warming party and received so many compliments on my beautiful home. Some of the comments I received were "absolutely gorgeous", "modern yet so warm", "fabulous". I am so grateful for such a wonderful experience working with Rande. She will definitively be my go-to for any future projects. Thank you, Rande, for helping me create the home of my dreams- one that aligns with the future I envision to build in this space!

Rande is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a great eye and went above and beyond consulting with us on a furniture layout for our new home. She is very responsive, accommodating, and offered great suggestions. We look forward to working with her more in the future.

Rande was exceptional in every way! Rande re-did most of our 2nd home in LA: new floors, windows, bathroom design, layout for all the rooms, furniture purchases and accessories. Our house is more than I could have dreamt of! It is so beautiful and a perfect mix of our taste and Rande's design expertise - with everlasting appeal in mind. Every time I see the house, I pinch myself from what it was to what it is now. And everyone who has come by has commented on the design. Beyond the end result, I just love Rande's approach. - She puts in so much care into her clients and the houses she works on. Rande was originally booked and couldn't take me on, but I just loved our first conversation, that I was hoping she could squeeze me in. But Rande gives all to her clients, and she didnt want to take me on if she couldn't give me her time or if it took away from another client. That is a reflection of who she is and what she gives. Thankfully things changed and we were lucky! She was patient with us through out, and educated us on getting the best contractors for our needs, as this was the first time I was doing such a big design project. - What made Rande stand out the most (besides her design expertise) is her approach to project management. We don't live in LA (this was our 2nd home). Rande felt so much responsibility to make sure the work was done to perfection because we weren't there. I was at peace knowing that Rande had her eyes on everything. She also would take full advantage of any of my visits. She'd come prepared with multiple tiles, floor samples, rugs, etc that we would burn through decisions so fast and seamlessly. Then she'd mail me packages by room on additional decisions (e.g window coverings and pillows). - When it came to meetings, Rande was very flexible. I work full-time and wasn't in person - so when I had moments, I would reach out and she was just so good at text, phone, zoom - whatever I needed. She understood my style so I felt heard and decisions were made seamlessly. - And to top it off, the project was completely on time. She worked so well with our contractor and ensured that the entire house was ready for when we arrived. Literally doing an entire house within months. We had the best reveal with no hiccups. - Finally she also has empathy for other people's budgets. Rande was great at high and low combinations vs spending money if there was budget. She went to Home Goods for many accessories. They looked amazing and thats what I wanted vs putting in money into that. But she also knew when to challenge and urged for high quality dining chairs and unique living side chairs that I am in love with now! I cannot say enough great things about Rande - and I would work with her again in a heart beat!

I was drawn to Rande by her portfolio and positive reviews. She’s a wonderful designer who is incredibly easy to work with. The ease was most important to me. My project was large and often overwhelming but Rande was reassuring and kept me focused on our end design goal. She’s an absolute professional whose people skills make her design services all the more worthwhile.

We've loved working with Randy. She listened to our needs and created designs that are timeless vs trendy. We would definitely recommend her to our friends! Our project included a complete main bathroom gut and remodel, living room remodel as well as new floors, doors, closets, and paint throughout the house.

After rebuilding our house, we had no idea how to furnish it. Then we met Rande Leaman!! Rande immediately used her professional eye to create designs for multiple rooms that were cohesive and beautiful. She completely understood our style and what we wanted - even though we didn't! She took the guesswork out of design and made the process simple, efficient and fun. From creating the perfect layout to finding pieces we absolutely loved, Rande really took our spaces to the next level. We never dreamed we could re-learn how to live in our own home, using newly furnished spaces in ways we never imagined, even creating a media room that is the envy of everyone we know! We love our newly designed and furnished house that Rande and Emelie created for us! It's like Rande read our minds about what we wanted! We can't wait to have her design our next home!!

Rande is amazing! She is so thoughtful and insightful and really helped guide us through our project. We would have been lost without her. It goes without saying that her design is impeccable and her taste is always on point. Bottom line, we really trust her as a person and designer. We highly highly recommend. She is the absolute best!

Rande is terrific! She has great taste and ideas, but is also flexible, adjusting to our likes and dislikes with ease and skill, really creating a natural sympatico. We had never worked with a designer before, so we weren't certain how things would proceed. But we knew we wanted help, and she provided that and more. She made our home remodel so much easier, and, in fact, enjoyable. She has strong relationships with multiple vendors of varying kinds, so she was easily able to involve trusted partners throughout the process. More than that, she is smart, professional, upbeat, a delight to deal with, and has a calm "bedside manner," helping us navigate through the inevitable challenges and stress with grace, reassurance, and confidence. We recommend her highly!

Rande is wonderful to work with. She is professional, reliable and brings years of experience to all her projects. I work with Rande through my job at Regal Construction. I loved her work so much that I personally hired her to help me with my home. Finally, I feel like my house is finished and it is now my dream home.

Working on our renovation project with Rande has been a pleasure! In addition to being an extremely talented and knowledgeable designer - as evidenced by her portfolio - she is personable, reliable, responsive and reassuring. She has the best range of design resources and readily sources hard-to-find materials. When my husband's and my differing design styles conflicted, Rande provided wonderful solutions. Above all, I appreciate her kindness which has helped to keep renovating during a global pandemic - enjoyable. Thank you, Rande. -Olivia

I'm gonna be honest. My fiance and I lived in a mish-mash of our two styles (and in my case, mostly no style at all!) Then we met Rande! From the get go we knew we made the right choice. She was friendly, professional and had fantastic taste. She welcomed our input and made it come to life in a way where finally felt our home was "ours." And being a little "change adverse" myself, not all the changes were massive. Sometimes it was just a touch here and there that made a HUGE difference. On top of that, she connected us with wonderful contractors we never would have had access to, or would have invested months and months chasing. She made it more than stress free. She made it a joy! Cannot recommend Rande enough.

We could not have been more pleased with Rande. She guided us through a complete renovation of our house with grace and finesse. She was both extremely professional and also joyful and fun to work with. She was always accessible, answered calls, emails and every question timely and with knowledge. Her relationships with contractors and vendors at all levels were a great benefit to us, and she ran interference with them whenever necessary. She is careful not to promise anything she isn't sure she can deliver, and so we learned we could rely on her for candor and honesty. She listened carefully to our vision and opinions and taste and honored them in designing our space and in searching out materials and fixtures, but was not afraid to share her own good taste and gently nudge us when we needed it. We recommend her very highly, and will come back to her again and again as we continue refurnishing our new space.

My husband and I were in way over heads when we decided to fully demo and renovate our house. I can say with full confidence that working with Rande was the best decision we could’ve made. She helped us turn our dream home into a reality, one decision at a time. Rande is dependable, professional, responsive, flexible and brings years of design knowledge and expertise to the table. Over the last few months she’s patiently guided us through the renovation process, helping us making well thought out and practical decisions. She really took the time to understand our style and wishes for how we wanted everything to feel and turnout and we couldn’t be happier. I should also mention that she has experienced, trustworthy recommendations for local vendors of all kinds that we ended up working with. I wouldn’t think twice about working with Rande for any upcoming projects, no matter how big or small!

I had been considering (dreading?) a home renovation for years (decades?). Those I knew who had done it only offered horror stories. I have a stressful job-- they warned me I wouldn't be physically/mentally able to go to work while renovating my aging home. I did my diligence and discovered Rande. I can't imagine a more rewarding home renovation and design experience. You've already read the rave reviews about her exemplary taste and talent but I emphasize the crucial importance of her listening skills. She understands the look you're seeking for your own environment. My project was a complete renovation, a whole new approach, the thought of the myriad decisions I'd need to make was staggering. Rande made what could've been extraordinarily stressful (torturous?) experience into something enjoyable. I can't imagine anyone better to make all of your dream home dreams come true.

Rande has been an asset in our home renovation. She knows the process inside and out, and helped us keep our sanity with all the deadlines and decisions. She did a great job of understanding our taste quickly and giving us choices that we loved, even when my husband and my tastes diverged. She approaches each project with fresh eyes and gives design options unique to that home and client. For us, that meant marrying our new addition with the older original home. She is a great problem solver, and able to address the quirks and unplanned events that come up in renovation. She has great, trustworthy recommendations for vendors of all kinds. I don't know how we would have done it without her.

Rande is amazing to work with and knows exactly the style of furniture I want! I would recommend her to anyone thats just moved in and doesn't know where to start!

Working with Rande Leaman has been an excellent experience. She constantly goes above and beyond. Without her expert ideas, support - and unmatched ability to decipher my thoughts - I'd still be in an empty house. With the supply chain being what it is, delays and scheduling errors certainly put us behind, but now that the house is complete, I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Rande, and she's already working with several friends. Thank you, Rande!

To say it has been an absolute pleasure working with Rande Leaman Interior Design would be an understatement. Rande is so incredibly talented, and working with her has been a seamless process every step of the way. She is extremely professional, responsive and was always willing and able to help us with every aspect of our project - from design to color to accessories and beyond. She also has a network of talented and trustworthy partners (contractor and vendors of all types) which made our renovation project less stressful because we knew Rande had previous experience with each and every one of them. We would highly recommend Rande Leaman Interior Design for any project, large or small.

Rande is the Best! My Condo renovation was not stressful at all with her help. She pays attention to detail, professional, and very personable. I trusted her every step of the way and the end result of my Condo is something that I couldn’t even imagine doing without her. Thank You Rande for making the whole process enjoyable and sharing your Creative mind with me and adding such a Beautiful touch to my new home. I look forward to working with you on future projects! I can now say that I have a Friend that’s a Designer:);)

....we would not do it without Rande. Rande helped us to create that home that we have been always dreaming about. Home that has our character in it. It is coming out beautifully and the most important very homie, cozy and comfortable. All colors, fabrics, textures and furniture create that place that we call our home! It is our first big house and since the moment we started working with Rande all my nervousness and stress regarding remodeling just went away. Rande is super professional, reliable and most important very responsive. She listened to us, to our needs and we love our final result! Also, Rande referred us lot’s of vendors that we hired during the remodeling. All are great professionals in what they are doing and we got a special price, as being Rande’s clients. It feels great to know that we are in great caring hands for something that means a lot to us.

Rande Leaman is one of the Best Professional Designers I've ever worked with in my 32 years in Plumbing. Every job she have done with us here at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center has been a great experience. All her customer's that we deal with are very excited with the job she has done for them. I wish we had more customers like Rande in the field.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Rande Leaman on two remodeling projects now (master bedroom/bathroom and full kitchen gut, dining, living and family room remodel), and it has been an outstanding experience. Initially, Rande has a great eye and impeccable taste. But most importantly, she really listens to you, and therefore her design ideas and specific suggestions are very personal to YOUR home and preferences. She is also sensitive to budget issues, and will not push really expensive choices on you unnecessarily (although she will tell you where it is important to spend a little more money vs where you can save some). Rande also brings so much to the table in experience, understanding of design and regarding remodeling projects more broadly -- making her very skilled at anticipating needs, helping to walk you through the various steps and likely timing of aspects of the project, and being a great manager of the overall project. Rande also is well-connected with great contractors/subcontractors for virtually ever stage of a remodel -- I have had excellent experiences with everyone she brought to work on all aspects of my project. Bottom line, I would unequivocally recommend Rande to anyone seeking a quality designer. Oh, and she is absolutely delightful as a person too, making the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

It has been so awesome working with Rande on redecorating and getting items for our house that will be with us forever. She is patient and always gives us her honest opinion! Highly suggest working with Rande!

Rande is amazing!! We were interested in remodeling our kitchen and dining room, as well as refreshing our living room and back bedrooms. We met with several designers before hiring Rande and couldn’t be happier. She is personable, calm, kind, encouraging and insightful, not to mention has a vast expertise in design. I was impressed at how Rande could bring 3-4 samples of a lamp, table or paint color and they always worked. She respected my ideas and helped me to see where I could improve. She is very collaborative as well as resourceful. Rande is great at working with a budget as well as giving several price point options. Loved, loved, loved working with her and look forward to working with her soon on our bigger projects!

Rande is a godsend! My husband and I found Rande on Houzz and met with her while we were in the midst of planning our wedding and needing to do a complete overhaul of our newly purchased fixer upper. We were a bit overwhelmed to say the least. Rande is extremely personable and organized and has wonderful, calm energy. She did a great job in blending our styles together, as well as those of our sons when designing their bedrooms and bathroom. She also kept our contractor on track and made sure that he and his team were meeting our design needs. We loved working with Rande, and everyone was thrilled with the completed project. We specifically worked with Rande to remodel our entire second floor and look forward to working with her on our bottom floor, which will be a major undertaking!

I met Rande after two previous designers didn’t work out. From our first consultation I was blown away. Her ability to pick up on my personal taste and creative vision is incredible. Every item she chose connected with me in a way she couldn’t possibly have known without some level of ESP lol. She’s saved me so much time and money. I no longer spend days/weeks searching for that perfect piece only to realize it doesn’t fit the room dimensions or match once delivered. My job requires my home to be “insta ready” and shared daily with followers. The home is my canvas and sets the stage for the rest of my brand. Initially, Rande was only to furnish one room but after witnessing the amazing transformation and the positive effect on both my business and mental health, I’ve asked her to do the entire house. Unfortunately, some existing structural issues were discovered and now Rande is helping remediate those as well. I’ve never had much luck with contractors. They either ghost me or give a ridiculous estimate 5x the real price. I’m so grateful to have Rande overlook the entire project, be my advocate, make sure everything is done in a timely manner and on budget! She’s also an absolutely wonderful human. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.

I hired Rande to help me pick out and design the interior of my condo in Los Angeles, as I know nothing about design myself. Rande has been patient and flexible. Most importantly she has listened to my needs and picked out looks that match my taste and preferences, rather than impose her own as some designers tend to do. She's been flexible as far as schedule and very conscientious about my budget. The recommendations she has made are helping my place shape up beautifully. I'd fully recommend her to anyone looking for a designer.

Rande was truly amazing to work with. We had hired someone to repaint our entire house. While our house was being prepped, we became unsure about the colors we had selected. I contacted Rande to see if she had any time to consult with us. She basically dropped everything and came to the rescue that very same day. After listening to what we were hoping to achieve and taking a walk throughout all the rooms of the house, she efficiently came up with a color story for our house that was both cohesive and beautiful. We love everything she picked out for us. Our house has been completely transformed. We are so appreciative of both Rande’s expertise as well as how accommodating and easy she was to work with. We look forward to working with her again on whatever our next project is!

The shape and location of our family room has always made it a real challenge for us to furnish, but Rande came up with creative solutions and we couldn't be happier with the result. Taking into account all of our needs, (holiday parties, book club, dogs, tall men) she guided us through making furniture and fabric choices, always being mindful of cost. She obviously loves what she does and her excitement is contagious, making the entire experience a joy.

We highly recommend Rande as an interior designer. We contacted Rande to help us this year when we moved into a new construction from an older traditional home. The new home was fairly stark, with gray floors and white walls. Our old furniture did not fit. Rande spent some time with us getting to know what we like, and then came back with a plan. Rande has an excellent eye for color, texture, and fabric. She provided us ideas and options in a variety of price points, so we could mix and match consistent with our taste. Rande is a consummate professional and delivered as promised, and on budget. . Most importantly, she listens. While she has a creative vision; she is not married to it, and would listen to our feedback and pivot to add other ideas that we had. She has excellent contacts with tradesmen and manufacturers and she handled everything so we had no hassles when it came to deliveries and installation. When there was an issue with a dye lot on a carpet, she jumped on it and had the situation resolved immediately. Rande has turned our new house into a home. We are absolutely thrilled with the results, and will be hiring Rande to help us in the future.

Working with Rande was such a positive experience, and I can't recommend her enough. I was bringing a small, time-sensitive project to her, and she always made me feel like her most important client. Always calm and professional, Rande was thoughtful and listened to what I had to say, was sensitive to what I truly wanted, made wonderful recommendations, and was also respectful of my budget. Rande has wonderful suppliers with quality products, which I also appreciated. The project was on time, in budget, turned out beautifully, and I couldn't be happier.

I can't say enough about Rande. I just finished a remodel on two bathrooms and a fireplace. Rande made what is usually a nightmare process so easy. She is a great at listening and understanding what a client wants. I get overwhelmed shopping for tile, flooring etc. and Rande understood and brought me several samples to choose from. She made it difficult for me to make choices, because everything worked. Rande was always available by phone, email or text and would go to my house several times a week to make sure the project was going well. She also recommended a great contractor. I can't wait to start other projects in my home and use Rande. I have worked with other designers in the past and Rande is the best. Can't wait to work with her on other projects.

Found Rande on the Houzz website. I liked her portfolio. She helped us pick out fabrics for our new furniture,drapes, etc. She is kind and not demonstrative. We love how she put all of this together. You will not go wrong using her expertise.

We’ve had Rande come out to our house twice to help us with ideas for paint colors, tiles, furniture, etc. (during and after remodeling). She is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would be happy to recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services again.

Rande did a great job for us. We had remodeled our kitchen (using another designer) and were unhappy with the result. We interviewed a number of prospective designers and she was, by far, the most impressive. Rande was empathetic, creative, sensible and, most importantly, she "listened " to us and understood what we were looking for. She gave us numerous options--all of which were good--and then, coordinated with her team to complete the project efficiently and with no drama and no surprises. We would use Rande again in a heartbeat.

Rande Leaman is by far the best designer we have ever worked with. I can't recommend her highly enough. Her talent speaks for itself - go on her website and see her work. Our home project, which we just completed, came out spectacular. Rande is uniquely creative, artistic and innovative. Despite all of that, her greatest asset is her character and personality. She so easy and lovely to work with. She really takes the time to understand what the client is looking for, and then uses her talent to get the most out of that look or style. Because she is such a lovely person, she is well connected with, and well liked by, all the vendors, and as a result they go out of their way to help her. She is responsive, accommodating, flexible and always dependable. We could not have had a better experience, and could not be happier with the result!!! Thank you, Rande! You helped us build our dream home!!!

I have known Rande for around 4 years now and over the years have done numerous projects throughout 5 different homes. The trait that stood out to me most about Rande is her patience and attention to detail working with clients. She is great about figuring out the best solution for the space and truly a pleasure to work with. She is able to blend any style from more classic to contemporary which truly makes Rande one of the most versatile designers I have ever worked with. I look forward to working with her in the future on other homes together!

Rande is a complete pleasure to work with. She has exquisite taste and I love the way she works. She gave me choices every step of the way, from tile, to paint colors, to counters, sinks and hardware. With each decision to be made, she would find a choice that was in my "comfort zone" and at the same time offer other options that helped me explore a new style - and along the way I even discovered a bold, brave new "me" which is now expressed in my home. I love everything we put together. The 3 bathrooms are elegant, fun, timeless and perfect. Rande was also cost conscious and always supported my budget with options and common sense. She had everything ordered and delivered in time for the contractor to install - so the project moved fast and on schedule. The process was extremely easeful. Rande had a great shorthand with the contractor and together everything ran like clockwork. Can't wait to do another project with Rande soon!

Rande’s knowledge paired with her confidence is what attracted me to her intitally. She helped me furnish a few rooms of my home and was always respectful in listening to my preferences yet always brought a different element to the table. She is extremely reliable and responsive. I appreciate that she always provided me with a wide variety of choices and we were able to determine the best one as a team. I like how she has outside of the box thinking while keeping cost and the reality of my three children in mind. I would definitely use her again and refer to friends and family.

We have worked with Rande Leaman Interior Design for many years and have done numerous custom rugs & window treatments for Rande’s projects. Many of our products can be seen in her photos on her Houzz site. She is professional, creative and always very easy to work with. We highly recommend her as a talented designer and look forward to collaborating on many more projects in the future.

My daughter found Rande Leaman for me on houzz when I was getting ready to find someone to help me design the interior of my house...and I am so thankful that Rande came into my life! While I love design and bringing life and warmth into my home with furniture/accessories, putting it all together by myself is not my forte. I am so lucky to have Rande guide/help me through this process. I liked her from the minute we spoke on the phone! She was so personable and friendly with wonderful ideas and suggestions. When we had our first meeting, I felt I'd already known her for a long time! Throughout our designing journey, Rande has been a huge source of knowledge, great ideas, and so incredibly helpful with showing me different colors and furniture suggestions for every room. Rande has made the process of designing my home so much easier for me, as it would have been a huge challenge had I done it myself. Rande is a wonderful and kind person with great design insight and ideas. She's so easy to work with and has a great eye for color. I highly recommend Rande as she will be an asset to helping put together a cohesive, beautiful home with great taste and style. She's the best!!

Rande was a pleasure to work with. She helped us remodel and completely transform our living space. She guided us through every step of the process, listened to what we wanted, and kept the project moving toward completion. Rande works with a lot of people in the design field including furniture makers, fireplace contractors, painters, etc. and she was particularly adept at scheduling and timing the many facets of the project so that everything fell right into place at the end. She is very nice and made doing this project a pain free experience. We highly recommend her services.

Rande was great and helped us tremendously in a short amount of time. She listened to our needs from our initial phone call and then when she worked with us - my husband and I sometimes have very different ideas and tastes, and Rande consulted with us to help steer us in a united direction. A nice, calm and easy experience with lots of ideas.

Rande is incredible! She is working with us on our living room and has made the process easy and enjoyable. She completely understands my needs and parameters, and gave us options that fit perfectly with our tastes and budget. She is the utmost professional, pays attention to detail, and truly a joy to work with.

Where do we start? We have been working with Rande for several months now. Rande is an amazing person and designer. She is so patient and helpful. We did a full remodel on our home and Rande has been there to guide and advise us and hold our hands when we weren't able to make a decision. My favorite part is going out to see tile and furniture with Rande - everyone knows her at all the best places in LA! My hubby and I have enjoyed working with Rande and we will be doing our guest bedroom and guest bath next with Rande as we reach the finish line of the remodel. You cannot find a better designer in LA - Rande is not only kind, patient, has great taste, but she is trustworthy and has a lot of integrity. Trusting our designer was important to us. And she is never too busy to answer questions. Another big plus for us was her attention to our project. At one point we were in a real panic because the original quartz counter top we wanted for kitchen was not available because a larger developer bought all the slabs! Out of anyone's control and was chosen before Rande came onto project. Rande came in to save the day! Rande was able to make a few phone calls and her choice was better than we could have imagined! WE LOVE OUR COUNTER TOPS! Thanks Rande! Looking forward to finishing the last of the remodel with you. Rande is someone you can trust and you will enjoy working with. We recommend Rande without hesitation.

We have worked with Rande for many months now and have been nothing but happy. We had just bought our first home and had a lot of questions about how we wanted to put it together and how to find what we were looking for - she helped with it all! She has been nothing but attentive, honest, and full of great advice! She has made what can be a very stressful endeavor fun! We highly recommend!

We happily hired Ms Leaman at the recommendation of a friend to redesign a large section of our house. She was absolutely perfect for us! She worked with our preferences and with our present design and brought us new ideas and concepts that would not only fit with our home, but would update the rooms that needed work. My wife and I heartily recommend Ms Leaman to anyone needing a "good eye." Next year, we intend to use her again to redo our master bath.

Rande is very on top of not only the design aspect but the construction operation as well. Rande is extremely intelligent and resourceful on any design needs necessary. I would highly suggest her services to anyone that may be looking for a new refreshing look to their home.

It was a pleasure to work with Rande during the recent renovation of my kitchen and hall bathroom.Rande was able to accurately and quickly determine what would look great in the these spaces and then mesh that with my tastes.The result was fantastic and I am very pleased with how great everything looks.

We love working with Rande because she is very insightful and knowledgeable about interior design and the overall construction process. Rande is very responsive and helpful throughout the entire project. She knows what her clients want and will not stop working until they are completely satisfied! I admire her ability to envision what the room should and will look like at the end of a project. We have worked with her on several projects together and they all came out beautifully! We would highly recommend her to other companies and private clients! Thanks for everything Rande! -Sean & The Regal Team

Upon moving into our new home we decided to try working with a designer as we had never done that before. THANKFULLY we found Rande. She made the process so seamless and fun. Her taste and professionalism helped us navigate the murky waters of design and she has been invaluable to the success of our new place. Her patience, style, and sense of humor has made this process a joy! She also has a rolodex of trades who have also been top-notch. If we ever get another house, she's the first person we'll call!

5 stars all the way! We hired Rande for a small, consultation only, project - and we glad we did. Rande's professionalism was evident from the moment she returned our phone call and ever since we could see her being a professional in about every move she made. Besides Rande's knowledge in interior design she is also a very pleasant person to work with and very patient and accommodating. At the end we received more than we had hoped for. Just about everyone who enters the rooms throws a ton of compliments. We couldn't do it without you. Thank you, Rande!

I am so grateful to have had Rande work with me on updating my 70 year old paneled den. I was totally overwhelmed trying to make choices on my own. We refaced an old brick fireplace and hearth, replaced floors, built new steps, curtains, painted, did electrical upgrades and all new furniture. The works. I get overwhelmed easily when I have too many choices to pick from. Rande was a master at showing me the 3 or 4 perfect pieces of tile, fabric, flooring, etc to choose from. It was such a relief to have such great choices at my fingertips. I used one of the contractors she recommended. She discussed the project in detail with him and was always there to answer any questions the workers had. I am now enjoying my beautiful new den and will be happy to use Rande again for any future projects. As a matter of fact, we did start on the dining room already.

Rande was truly wonderful to work with. She took the time to understand the overall project, our tastes and what we needed, then proceeded to bring us a variety of choices while considering our budget parameters. She was never overbearing or pushy but was always very responsive and available. We wouldn't hesitate to use her for our next project!

Rande is a pleasure to work with. She is very professional but makes you feel as though you are working with a friend. She has wonderful ideas but is also great at listening to her clients ideas and turning those into a reality. Remodeling is often very expensive and stressful. The work she helped us do in our home looks wonderful and we are happy we used Rande to make the process a more pleasant one. We would use Rande to help us decorate in the future and would recommend her.

We found Rande Leaman through Houzz and thank goodness we did... we LOVE working with her! Initially, we were skeptical about using an interior designer but we had just purchased a home that was in desperate need of an upgrade and some serious TLC and knew our design tastes were not up to par. Rande did an amazing job of keeping us on track to help us stay consistent with our choices of materials and finishes. Our experience was truly collaborative as she acted as a sounding board for our ideas as well as helped us pick out specific items like paint, fabrics and furniture when we needed it. She provided valuable information regarding manufacturers and solid recommendations for finding the best in quality and pricing. One of the many talents Rande possesses that really sets her apart is her keen ability to quickly grasp and understand the tastes and style of her clients. She is very patient and has a great working style that subtly guides without being forceful with her opinion. She has turned our house into a beautiful home and we can’t recommend her highly enough!

Rande was great to work with. She worked on my dining room, living room, master bedroom, and guest bedroom. At the time being a single male in a new house, I did not have much of a sense for decorating or design. She held my hand through the process, always brought good ideas, and helped develop what little vision I had and turned it into a warm, comfortable home. She is on top of the latest trends, and has vision for how the flow of a home should feel.

We're almost done with our RE-VAMP and we could not be happier! My husband and I have lived in our home for nearly 13 years and we have never really "loved" it. We finally decided to attack the list of upgrades we've been working on for a decade. After one day of shopping for kitchen backsplash, we realized we were not the "weekend warrior" types, and wouldn't be able to do this alone. I got on Houzz to search for a decorator and didn't see anyone who spoke to me, until Rande. I immediately contacted her, and I'm so happy I did. We have felt so comfortable with her, and so very happy. Our initial meeting was great. She got to know our likes and dislikes, and didn't leave until she felt confident she "got" us. And boy, did she ever!! When we next met she had samples of EVERYTHING we were looking for: Backsplash for the kitchen, stacked stone for the fireplace, rugs for the living room, grass cloth, paint ideas, pictures of light fixtures, window treatments, etc. Things started happening immediately, and she was even very helpful with advice and opinions when we found things on our own. I know for a fact nothing would have gotten started for at least another year if we were on our own. Working with Rande sped that process up, and now, after only a few months, we're days away from having everything we wanted. I know we'll use her for our next projects down the road, and I am truly grateful. The money spent on Rande's expertise, probably saved us thousands of dollars worth of bad choices and wrong moves. I can't say enough good stuff.

I've worked with quite a few designers for both business and home and for me, selecting the right person to work with is a stressful process. If you are in search of a designer/decorator let me hand you the EZ button: Rande Leaman. Rande is a collaborator, a coach and an artist with impeccable taste. She has a kind touch that will help you create the space, the environment, the vibe, the style and the tone you have been envisioning. On a practical side she has excellent resources, is extremely knowledgeable, has amazing instincts and is persistent in achieving what you ultimately want for your home, office or studio. Rande is refreshing, inspirational and extremely professional and without “attitude”. She makes the process fun - and she has the vision.

Love, love, love what Rande did for our bedroom! The room desperately needed to be updated. Rande's keen eye and great sense of style made all the difference for us. We painted, had new drapes made, replaced old drapery hardware, removed a bulky piece of furniture and hung a tv on the wall. The room is beautiful now - we love it! Thanks again for everything!!

Rande is wonderful! She did a beautiful job designing my new home. She helped with furniture placement and selected many beautiful pieces of furniture including a dining room table, office desk, coffee table, and TV stand. She also picked out an adorable front porch bench. She had pillows made and two chairs recovered that look gorgeous. She also seIected and placed wall hangings. I am a busy working mom, and she would often be at the house to let workers in while I was away- I joked that it felt like elves transformed my home while I was working!

I had the pleasure of working with Rande this past summer and what a dream job it was. She got me immediately and understood my needs and my wants. She was very prompt to answer a call or an email. And the great thing about Rande is that she made me look at colors that I never would have thought of. My home has her stamp and I love it!

Rande is amazing! We started with her designing our family room and it turned out spectacular. She then designed our dining room, formal living room, guest bathroom, master bedroom ... just about the entire house! Rande's designs are spot on and her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. She's the best!

Rande is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. She helped me design and furnish three rooms in my new home. Rande was able to take my disjointed ideas and pull them together into a beautiful and unified concept. I would happily work with her again.

Rande did a color consultation for me to re-paint our foyer, stairwell, accent walls, and guest bedroom. She got to know me and my style very well, and through an easy-going conversation. She has a great eye and knew what would work almost immediately. She recommended one thing that seemed slightly out of our comfort zone, but I trusted her instinct and it is perfect! This was an easy interaction, and well worth it. I look forward to working with Rande on the next project.

We hired Rande to help us decorate our new home. Rande has been fabulous to work with from day one. She really took the time to understand our style and our goals for how we wanted the new house to feel for our family. We had never used a designer before, and I now understand how finding the right person actually helps you save money overall--there are the obvious designer discounts, but Rande also found some hidden gems in inexpensive local stores that were perfect for our house. And we didn't make the pricey mistakes we had made when buying (the wrong!) furniture for our previous home. Rande also connected us with great local vendors who did a wonderful job at a good price. And when we had a little hiccup with the wallpaper order for one room, Rande took care of it immediately and kept the project on schedule. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, making sure every detail was right. Rande is a pleasure to work with, and I'm already looking forward to getting her help with some other rooms. I highly recommend her.

We had a specific budget that was smaller than our wish list of projects. We hired Rande who delivered not only beautiful and livable spaces but also guided us through the processes in order to keep us in budget. Rande is creative and delightful with work with. Rande was responsive and remarkably fast in turning around great results. She provides her professional opinion but never forgets that it is your house, not hers. She makes sure to accommodate your specific requirements (for us it was incorporating key pieces we had collected over the years and our dog!) while ensuring the final results are fabulous. Can't wait for phase 2!

Relatively new to the LA market and needed a designer to partner with on a small (sub $40k) project in our new home. After careful review, we elected to engage Rande Leaman to team with on this project. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with her level of professionalism, responsiveness and ability to deliver on very colorful options for the multiple rooms we asked her support with. Having not used this site and designers previously, we were a little hesitant but Rande's support exceeded our expectations. The final results were within budget (both time and money) and we are very pleased with the options and vision that resulted in our house. Lastly, Rande truly wants to understand her clients and design solutions for them on a personal level to create/expand living space that reflect the owners tastes in a comfortable environment. Great job by Rande and look forward to partnering with her on future projects. Nick & Lauren

I have never before written a review but I have been so impressed and have had such a wonderful experience with Rande,I decided to write a review so others could know what a life saver she has been for us. I had never worked with a designer before but decided I really needed help since I wanted to remodel the kitchen and change the color scheme of our new home. I will never regret that decision. Rande has helped us with every step and more! She is excellent with communication and keeping the projects progressing on time and at the same time making sure each detail is covered and the quality of the work is outstanding! Her design is impeccable and she has really worked with our budget to enable us to get the most for our money. I really couldn't be happier; our house is cohesive and extremely functional. We have a young child and pets and she found items and fabrics that would be durable, washable and at the same time look great!! I look forward to continuing to work with Rande and give her my highest recommendation.

Rande has been and continues to be a pleasure to work with! My husband hired her to design our living room space as a birthday present to me a year ago. We liked her so much that we've continued on to other spaces and had her lead a project to design an extended kitchen desk area. It was great to have her coordinate with the contractor and suppliers! Her design taste, knowledge and expertise is top notch, all while being so down to earth and easy to work with. We never felt pressured and she always gives lots of options to find the right fit within our budget. She knows where to find great finds and deals. I definitely recommend contacting her for your design needs!

Rande’s taste and judgment help me put together a comfortable and yet sophisticated room that my husband and I just love! Rande understood my vision and found the perfect fabric plus the necessary elements to pull the room together. She listens well and has the best follow through which is rare and so important. Alice Dollinger Encino

Thank you Rande for your expert guidance and aesthetic as we slowly, but surely, redo some of our rooms! I am horrible at choosing colors and styles, so Rande has been a life-safer. She has superb taste and really knows what colors will work together in a room. She also finds the greatest vendors who not only have fair prices, but more importantly do excellent work. Rande is very professional, personable and so easy to work with. I recommend Rande Leaman Interior Design to anyone looking for a design expert!

We hired Rande as a design consultant for several interior home projects. She is professional and a delight to work with, has excellent design skills, and was extremely helpful in giving good advice. Rande spent time learning about our lifestyle, how we entertain, and our preferences in design and then offered helpful suggestions. As we will be selling our home in the next few years, she also gave great suggestions for staging our home to ready it for the market. We look forward to working with her

Rande did a fantastic job for us. She has a great attitude and is a pleasure to work with. Her insight and vision helped us to choose the best colors/fabrics/items for our house. We know she had other projects going on at the same time, but we always felt like we were her only client. Everything looks just beautiful and we are so happy with the end result!

Rande is a very talented and versatile interior designer. She helped my husband and I to plan the space for our 1st home. She was sensitive to our budget and had lots of suggestions that fit our needs and taste. She has an eye for color schemes, and helped tie our space together so it flowed. Rande is extremely professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a great interior designer for any project, big or small.

I highly recommend Rande for interior design! She is amazing and has helped me for the past year as my time and budget has allowed. Rande learned what mattered to me, understood what I was going for, and was able to help me to be decisive which is not an easy task. I had only one material possession that meant a lot to me which was an old tattered picture that has been passed down to five generations. Rande added this and that... found some great old pieces and had them reupholstered, had some pieces custom made, and found great new pieces for what turned out to be really fabulous. There is no way I could have ended up with a room that I would love as much as I do without her help. In addition to designing an entire room, she helped me with a partial remodel in the bathroom which she made look like a million bucks for a very little amount and transformed my dinning and living space. I wanted to write this review in appreciation for all the extra TLC Rande offered though the process. She is very good at what she does.

Can't say enough good things about Rande. She proved to be extremely creative, helpful and often went the extra mile to assure that we got what was needed make the project as perfect as possible. Her advice, suggestions and professionalism made our remodel project go as smoothly as one could hope for. She is personable and co-operative to nth degree. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and we recommend her highly. -- Britt & Jeff Bates

Rande just helped me redo my entire living room and I am loving it! It changed the look of my house in such a great way. If is warm and cozy but elegant and modern. She helped me find great pieces from all over at really nice prices as well. I have pets and finding a rug that worked and was durable and washable was a challenge, but she had a great rug source that has the perfect one. Everyone who sees my living room comments on how great it looks. Its exactly what I was looking for and she was great to work with. I can't wait to have her help me again when needed and to also refer her to friends and clients. She is a real gem!

I had the privilege of working with Rande on the redesign of several rooms in my home. She is a great listener and remained attentive to my vision while guiding me in making novel and attractive choices that I would not have considered on my own. She incorporated my prized old pieces with new ones to achieve my desired contemporary look. Her patience, enthusiasm and creativity made it a pleasure to work with her. I would readily turn to Rande for any future design projects.

We hired Rande to advise us on redecorating our dining room and living room. Her ideas were fresh and elegant yet simple. Exactly what we were looking for. She was very professional and honest in her approach and sensitive when it came to our budget. We love her style and her color choices. We are quite happy with our new look.

Working with Rande was great...I love that she can find a solution to design problems. I was really stumped about what to do in my guest room because the room is so funky...a headboard couldn't fit between two windows without partially covering them up. Rande had a creative idea to add texture and color to the wall with grass cloth and it turned out beautifully...Looks amazing!

When we put are home on the market we needed a quick sale! We enlisted Rande to stage our home Her designs were simple and tasteful and displayed the true beauty of our home Net result our home had multiple offers after the open house! I would work with Rande again for a staging or full design of our new home!

We engaged this design company twice to design three rooms in our home and we could not be more pleased with the results. The rooms were transformed! Rande has a great vision and it was a pleasure to work with her. We have a five-bedroom house in a Cape Cod style. We first worked with Rande to fully furnish and design the front room and to re-design a living room using an existing couch. We wanted a space that felt sophisticated yet welcoming to our young children. Rande found beautiful texture in the rugs and fabric for the couch and great pieces of furniture to enhance the space. A year later we engaged Rande to re-design our master bedroom. I was seeking to create a serene retreat which Rande accomplished by re-upholstering two family heirloom chairs, selecting a new bed, bench and nightstands and coordinating wallpaper, rug and fabrics. The result is flawless and the process was fun.

After moving into a new home, Rande Leaman Designs had been recommended to me by and associate who used the firm previously. I was not able to complete my entire home at this juncture, but all areas (both bedroom and living room) were done perfectly. Wonderful recommendations and selections that have really created more than I could have imagined. Rande was understanding and respectful of financial limitations and ensured all selections were in line with our initial desires and personalities. When we are ready to complete other rooms in our home, I will no doubt contact Rande Leaman Interior Designs again!

I worked with Rande on several rooms in my house. She has a great design sense and she is a pleasure to work with and my whole family is enjoying the results. She is extremely professional and she is a great listener which is important and gives her the ability to know your individual style and needs. I am planning on working with her again on future projects. I highly recommend her!

I love Rande's style! A friend had used Rande to help with fabrics and design in her home and I was knocked out. I had her come to my home and she immediately had some great ideas. She got my style and the style of my home and, when the project was done, she had created an amazing space and I couldn't be happier.

Rande came highly recommended to me by a couple of my friends whose homes she had decorated. I had just moved from a large house to a small townhouse and I was totally frustrated because I had so little time to decorate and find furniture (I worked full time) and didnt have a clue of where to begin. Yet, I knew what I liked and what I didnt like, but I couldn't pull it together. When I first met Rande I liked her immediately. She was so knowledgable, and warm and friendly. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she made me feel that I could actually have a really nice home even though I had to start all over again and was on somewhat of a budget (although that has been hard to stick to for me that is!). She got an idea of what I liked and immediately when to work and brought over sample boards with materials and color schemes to see where my taste tended to go. She emailed items to me that she had seen and thought that they might be of interest to me. When the delivery people would bring over furnishings they were excellent and on time. Rande always came over to make sure that everything was just right when they would bring the pieces.. I am really enjoying my home now, and we are stil working on other rooms. I would highly recommend Rande to anyone who needs a great decorator and expert guidance. The extra added plus is that she is a joy to work with. Ellen Herdeg

I have worked & collaborated with Rande as a fellow interior designer for the last three years . Her intuitive understanding of her client's wants & needs combined with incredibly good taste distinguishes as her as a truly talented designer . Rande has an innate sense of what will work in a space & is able to present a complete picture ( & budget ) to her clients from start to finish. She treats each project as a unique opportunity to make a difference in her client's lives. Rande is a true joy to work with in every way.
