Deborah Leamann

Antiquities, etc It is hard to truly convey how exceptional Deborah is as a designer. She obviously has great taste - classic, refined, serene and fresh. No detail escapes her. In addition she is charming, thoughtful, organized and incredibly decisive. She is knowledgeable about antiques and quickly chooses just the right items for the spaces she has in mind. We are often fortunate to see photos of her completed projects and are always impressed with how the items she chooses from us enhance the space. Perhaps best of all, she is a joy to work with and is a complete professional. It has been our pleasure to know and work with her over the last several years! Marietta Faragalli

Prior to meeting Deborah Leamann in 2011 I had always admired her work and followed her career. When I did meet her in May of that year, there was an instant connection. We were very much on the same page regarding styles and a design perspective. Since then we have completed multiple properties in various states with Deborah. Our Florida residence is just wrapping up now and Deborah has been with us every step of the way. She is reliable, resilient and flexible. Her great taste and ability to source unique items for our interiors from all corners of the world was fabulous! Deborah put together a team in Florida to handle our entire remodeling request. She provided all of the design plans, and guided the team in the renovation process. We modified and gave a major facelift to the Kitchen, Breakfast nook, outdoor kitchen and patio, several guest baths along with the master suite and an entire interior paint job. All new furnishings were acquired along with floor and wall coverings, window treatments, art and lighting. Deborah’s hand touched every space. Deadlines were met. The results are of the most suitable and superior design elements that capture our look and lifestyle! Five Stars indeed!

It has been an absolute delight to work with Deborah Leamann. When we purchased our home, I did some research on interior designers in our area. Deborah's work really stood out. I admired the quality and classic style of her design; she brings timelessness, elegance and sense of individuality to each room she creates. Deborah and her team oversaw the renovation of our master bath, hall bath and powder room, as well as our laundry/mud room and some components of our kitchen. She selected paint and wall coverings for our entire interior, as well as new lighting throughout (LED, chandeliers, pendants). Whether selecting new furnishings, antiques, art, rugs and fabulous window treatments, or coordinating our contractors and service partners, Deborah has been with us every step of the way. Deborah is an extraordinary person; her talent, expertise and reliability have been invaluable to us. We look forward to continuing to work with Deborah and her wonderful team on future projects. I cannot recommend her more highly!

We can gladly give Deborah a five star review. Her impressive body of work and our relationship on previous projects sealed the deal when it came time to tackle the major renovation on our new residence. There was no hesitation; Deborah was the one to lead the team! The renovation has included a new custom kitchen, state of the art lighting, a small fireside seating area, walk-in pantry, breakfast nook and great room redesign & decoration. Problem solving, successful rapport, and great communication with contractors describes Deborah's project management skills. We were always included in the decision making process. That was just the construction portion, then there were all the beautiful colors, rugs, textiles, wall coverings, furnishings, wood finishes, right down to the cabinetry knobs. Lastly, add three active pups to the story & we have a lovely dog-friendly designed home. We are pleased to recommend Deborah Leamann to anyone who is interested in beautiful, down to earth, top notch interior design.

It has been my pleasure to work with Deborah for the past 3 years. Deborah is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I know. I work with Deborah on the administrative and financial end of her company. Deborah style and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me! In my time with Deborah I have seen her transform many homes into palaces fit for a queen and king. Deborah's ability to teach others about her work and passion is commendable. I have learned so much in just these 3 years and look forward to learning more!

I can vouch for Deborah's expression that having a connection with a client inspires her work. I have had an ongoing relationship with Deborah for 20 years, and she has never disappointed me. On the contrary, she has exceeded my expectations: her professionalism, her sense of style, her eye for beauty. It's a joy to work with her! This is the third opportunity that I have sought out Deborah's design skills. The first occurred when we moved into our townhouse lacking pzazz and filled with eclectic array of furniture. She transformed the interior with special wall treatments, upholstering, and other tasteful accessory selections to make it into a warm, comfortable home. Our recent renovation of two bathrooms required a unique vision of contemporary taste with a multitude of practical and artistic choices that were overwhelming for me. Deborah managed these details skillfully and gracefully, always listening to me and collaborating with the contractors. She was always there to make decisions when I needed her. It was her insistence on enlarging the master bath shower that has made a tremendous impact on our lives for its safety, functionality and beauty. Deborah is an incredibly gifted professional and a caring person. The results speak for themselves.

Deborah's serene, classic design was the inspiration that prompted me to contact her for my home make-over. This she delivered, plus a team of skilled professionals in every area (wallpaper, wiring, painting, cabinetry) that were truly delightful, reliable, and a joy to work with in my home.

Deborah has a wonderful sense of design and of spacing. Over the course of 10 months, Deborah has transformed our house into a home. Our house was new construction and needed a lot of detail work to make it feel welcoming, warm, and alive. The very first thing that Deborah did was to pick a new paint color for the entire first floor. I had no idea the change a simple paint job would do but it completely transformed the look and feel of the first floor. She was able to pick the perfect color to start the transformation. Deborah has many strong skills as a designer but I think her best skill is that she is a great listener. My husband and I have a eclectic tastes and she was able to work with that, which makes me feel that she can work and design for everyone. As a person, she is thoughtful, caring, and very easy to work with. I recommend her to all of my friends. Everyone who comes into our home comments on the layout and the pieces of furniture that she has chosen. She is TOP NOTCH!

Deborah is an absolute pleasure! I worked as a freelance designer for Deborah and am lucky to have her as a mentor and a friend. She has a refined sense of style with an amazing eye for proportion, color, pattern mixing and beautiful details that set her designs apart. She has a strong appreciation and knowledge of antiques, historical styles and overall design principles. I learned so much working alongside Deborah and know that any client of hers will love her warm personality, working with her throughout the design process and will be thrilled with the finished product!

We have worked as the general contractor on multiple projects designed by Deborah Leamann in the last few years. These include the Woodland project as well as a project that is just wrapping up. The photos exhibit Deborah's tasteful design. Her approach is practical and straightforward and yields magnificent results. She has been a wonderful partner to work with in these projects and a true "team player" who just works along with the tradesman in order to get the work done and yield top notch results for the client. We heartily recommend her for anyone who wants world class design with a pleasant working relationship.

Deborah Leamann’s style is what I keep coming back to – in fact, it’s exactly what I did come back to just this year for a complete makeover of a living/dining room area, after she helped me 10 years ago. At that point, she stepped in to save my home from interior design disaster, with window treatments, paint choices and accessories that magically undid the damage of some poor design choices on my part (thanks to a “designer” from a furniture store). The expert advice she gave at that point was amazing. So when I decided it was time to re-do that part of my house from carpet to ceiling, I called on her again. She took time to talk through a workable new floor plan, suggest ways of integrating the furniture choices with the existing window treatments (which still look fantastic), and provide help with options for the details – lamps, mirrors, wall décor, etc. I trust her design intuitions completely, and recommend her highly.

Our relationship with Deborah Leamann began in 2001 and continued over the years. We are currently on our fourth project and planning the next. Deborah just seems to know our design interests and always amazes us with her choice of colors and fabrics. She adapts to the style of the house and the sensibilities of the clients. We appreciate how she approaches the projects with timeless style and balance of comfort and grace. Deborah listens and creates to your needs and her instincts. A true collaboration.
