Deborah Leamann

Deborah is truly a professional, and is an amazing designer. She has the best eye and style. Simply the best!

I hired Deborah to lead the renovation and design of my 200 yr. old historic house. I turned the entire project over to her and gave her creative freedom to lead it from vision to execution. She hired/recommended an outstanding project team including contractor, architect, and woodworker and drove decisions that were in my best interest. She created impeccable room designs, selected artwork, appliances, lighting, rugs, accessories and furnishings always ensuring my approval and communicating constantly. She created a beautiful interior that is unique yet timeless, mixing new pieces and carefully selected antiques, and found new ways to use furnishings and art we had previously owned. I could not be happier with the decision to hire Deborah and anyone who appreciates quality and style would be lucky to work with her.

We recently worked on a team with Deborah Leamann on a large oceanfront renovation in Vero Beach, Fl. She and her firm are very talented and super organized which was very much appreciated by our team of construction professionals. We admire her taste and level of sophistication and will look forward to working with her again.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Deborah Leamann on a large Interior Remodeling project that included a Kitchen, Breakfast area, and Great Room. Our firm works on many projects with Design professionals, and we found Deborah to be well organized, articulate, and most importantly, the homeowners trusted her impeccable style and eye for design to transform their space. We hope to be able to work on more projects in the future with Deborah and her team. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any client in need of Interior Design services, and we have already given her name to a few potential clients of ours.

Deborah is a designer of the highest caliber. She has an innate sense of design that can't be taught. She sees color and design in a way that is unique. She understood what I was attempting to accomplish in my home but was unable to accomplish on my own. Her work is beautiful.

This is the second project I have worked on with Deborah and hope to continue our collaborative efforts in future endeavors. She has an impeccable sense of style and is able to work within a budget without sacrificing the look the client is working to attain. Thank you for your efforts!

Deborah Leamann and Tobias Design have worked on several kitchen projects together with wonderful outcomes. There are several things that stand out about her; her attention to detail, sense of urgency, willingness to collaborate, flexibility of style, ability to work within all budgets and last, but certainly not least is her easy demeanor. Each project has yielded a seamless process for our mutual clients and a beautiful space - which in the end, speaks to each client's uniqueness. There isn't more you could ask for in selecting an interior designer. She and her team are true professionals.

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.

We are currently working with Deborah on our historic Queen Anne home restoration. Her attention to detail, deadlines and quality is excellent. Her appreciation of and feel for the house is what separates her from the rest. She is available at any time to discuss the project and reacts quickly and completely. Her support staff is not only accurate and timely with invoices, budgets, and quotes, etc., but order follow-up with vendors is also superb. Deborah also has an extensive range of professional contacts to draw on to complete the project; for example specialty craftsmen such as cabinet makers and landscape professionals. We would highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking for a professional and talented Interior Designer.

Deborah and I worked together on the family room of my new home in Pennington, NJ. I gave her the charge of incorporating various items I already owned--a piano, a sofa, paintings and other artwork.... She did a terrific job of creating a beautiful transitional space--part classic, part modern--that feels truly like my own. The finished room has tremendous character: It looks like it evolved slowly over time, even though it was a case of "instant gratification"! Deborah brings a refined and subtle sense of color to her projects, which is a reason I chose her. In my living room, color and pattern bring it all together, without looking "decorated" or "matchy." I found Deborah very easy to work with, and I highly recommend her.

I've known and worked with Deborah since 1989. When we downsized into a townhouse We tapped into her decorative skills to help us incorporate all the older treasures that we loved with wonderful new up- to-date ideas , colors, and fabrics.She helped us transition From using bold colors, to a much more softer look that we love. The outcome suits us perfectly, and we appreciate all Deborah's creative talents in helping us restyle and refresh.

I always admired the homes Deborah Leamann has decorated and knew that she was the only person I wanted to work with to restyle my timeworn home. I called upon Deborah to make my house feel young and fresh with a traditional flair. From the start of the project, she listened to my ideas and created a comprehensive design plan unlocking my house's potential as well as blending my favorite pieces collected over time. Deborah has implemented her design services in a professional, collaborative and timely fashion while building a partnership with my family and I along the way. She clearly has transformed my house into a tasteful, functional and absolutely beautiful home. Thanks to Deborah I can now entertain in style!

I have known Deborah Leamann for more than 25 years. We hired her to help us in our previous home with a family room addition, powder room and hall bath. We were always pleased with her design ideas and execution. When we decided to move, Deborah was one of the first calls I made to help with the our new house. She quickly came up with plans for the major rooms on the first floor and her execution was professional. She included me in all her plans, and I was able to buy some antiques with her guidance that worked along with all the furniture, rugs, sofas, etc. that she ordered. The wallpaper she picked out for our entry hall entrances everyone who comes to visit. I would recommend her to my friends. Ginger August Princeton, NJ

I hired Deborah Leahmann Interiors to help us transition to a new house. I was so pleased to find Deborah had worked with my mother in law years ago and was the original designer for our new house! We got terrific help with refreshing the interior finishes and incorporating our furniture into it. We needed a few new items which were found, ordered, and delivered quickly. The transition was a wonderful experience and we still get compliments on our interior design. Deborah and her staff were a pleasure to work with!

I have known Deborah for over 6 years. Deborah has a firm understanding of the process of interior design. Her work is superb. Of perhaps greater importance is the passion and attention to detail that Deborah brings into each project. The mark of a good designer is the referral factor. Deborah has too many to count Gerard Wilder

I hired Deborah Leamann to help me with a home I had just purchased. She did a wonderful job of bringing my ideas to completion. She was fabulous to work with and I would highly recommend her. She knew who to call for woodworking, painting, and general construction. We did a major renovation and with her help it all went very well and we were very happy with how our kitchen, family room and living room turned out.

I had a pleasure to work with Deborah Leamann and her design team first time in 2008 on a very high end residential project in NYC. She is very talented with exquisite taste, furnishings and color. Her personal attention to details was always on point. Currently we are working together again on a duplex apartment in NYC and her professionalism and organization skills which she is bringing to this project makes the renovation process run smoother.

Deborah is a true artist. She creates amazing environments and she is truly a pleasure to work with. Her talent and vision have surpassed our expectations and we highly recommend her to everyone we know!

We worked with Deborah Leamann to update our 15 year old home. Our project included painting, moldings and trim, wall coverings, lighting, countertops, rugs and window treatments. She worked with some items we had and identified the most important areas to update. Deborah's creative ideas added great value to our home and were apparent to all who visited. Three years later, we sold our home after only two weeks on the market - thank you Deborah!

I love the way Deborah started with my family photos, paintings and heirloom pieces, and created a new room around them. We ended up with a space that's fresh, harmonious and up to date--and that also feels comfortable and deeply personal. Deborah listens, gets to know you, studies your prized possessions, learns your entertaining style and how your family lives in the space, and then she begins to work her magic. She has a flair for color and texture that shows in her choice of fabrics. She also was able to find unique, vintage pieces that bring added character to the room. Everyone who spends time in the room loves it!

I work with Deborah on a regular basis taking care of all of her custom framing and mirror needs! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable in her design work, and always has a specific idea of what she wants and how she wants to creates spaces for her clients. I have been working with her for several years now and it is always a delight. I will always recommend her first to anyone who needs a designer and I will always recommend her with extremely high regard. It has been a pleasure working with her and seeing her fantastic work!

Deborah is an absolute pleasure to work with on a project.. Always focused on what she needs from me, and always a pleasure to be in her company. He work has a consistent level of good design, quality items and unique finds seamlessly pulled together. Her follow up is always consistent and professional. Looking forward to her next collaboration!

Deborah redesigned our very boring master bedroom and turned it into a serene retreat. My husband and I absolutely love it! She accomplished everything on our wishlist and made the room our favorite spot in the house. Deborah is extremely professional, talented and so nice to work with. I plan to work with her again on future projects.

Deborah Leamann was a delight to work with. She understood what I wanted, gave me choices, and worked within my budget. She also met her projected time frame both times we worked with her. I love what she did in my kitchen, family room, office and living room.

We chose Deborah Leamann to design our living room and dinning room area. Deborah's ability to see the total space and coordinate the design to complement the home was fabulous. Another strength is her ability to take our ideas and incorporate them with her concepts to achieve a space that we love. A unique feature with us was to find new uses for our existing pieces which we found very creative. She worked within our budget, organized all the vendors, and scheduling was very punctual. Bottom line was the project completed on time and budget. The real testimony is that after seven years we still enjoy and love her design.

I wanted to re-do my kitchen making all selections myself but then my contractor mentioned Deborah, a local designer, and I came to my senses. Deborah made it seem so simple and easily worked with what I did not want to change. Her choices were modern yet timeless and very upscale. Another great advantage was that working with her was not a long drawn out process. When she came forward with recommendations, she had every ready, down to the wall paint color, faucet, and cabinet knobs. If I had made all the selections myself, the price would have been similar and my kitchen would not have been nearly as stunning.

Writing a review for Deborah Leamann is a challenging task indeed. Simply saying she is a five star designer is easy, but adequately conveying the level of her talent, the range of her abilities, and the degree of her commitment to every aspect of a job is what's hard. I have had the pleasure of working with Deborah and her team on five projects over the course of the past three years. They have all been substantial in their scope and required construction as well as design. From the big picture to the smallest of details, Deborah had the vision and the knowledge, and was always readily available for meetings and collaboration with members of the construction team. She is an extremely versatile designer as well, and we have been thrilled she has been willing to help us on our properties in both Bucks County as well as New York City. The spaces she has helped us create are far more than beautiful. They are personal, sophisticated, interesting, one of a kind rooms where everyone immediately feels good and wants to stay longer. They are not "decorated", they are far more artistic and original than that. She will listen to you, get to know you and how you want to live and will then translate it into beauty that exudes warmth and comfort. Trust me, it doesn't get any better than Deborah Leamann. Whether it's the country, city or even the beach, she will help you create something even better than you can first imagine. In the truest sense, you will have rooms you love to live in.

I have worked with Deborah on two projects and about to start a third. I would recommend Deb to anyone. Our rooms are stylish yet comfortable! She truly listens to her clients and is relaxed and open. The job is completed on time and seamless.

I have followed Deborah Leamann's work for over 15 years. Her creativity and attention detail are in a word.... inspiring. Deborah Leamann's projects continue to impress. Deborah is an absolute professional with incredible talent. I am proud to be a collegue and truly can't say enough in reccomending Deborah and her team. Sara Cooper

Shortly after moving to Princeton, we started interviewing Interior Decorators. Deborah made the decision easy for us with her warm and inviting way and we were absolutely in love with her portfolio. We are in the process of completing our second project with her involving both of our son's rooms, their bathroom, the master bedroom and bathroom and bedroom hallway. The first, completed last year, was a tremendous feat on Deborah's part of combining the existing kitchen and den into one truly "great" room with a new guest bath and mudroom as part of the almost 1000sf area. She has brought her personal charm and warmth and taken our needs and wants and combined it all into wonderfully inviting spaces we love!

Deborah Leamann has provided outstanding design service for many years. It all starts with her amazing eye for style and design as displayed by her beautiful portfolio. She is knowledgeable, professional, and a great listener. She keeps her clients focused, while guiding them to the style they love. She makes the whole process simply enjoyable.

Deborah is a pleasure to work with. We have worked together for over 15 years. She pays great attention to detail and always has a hand in the project, from start to finish. She is an asset to the design community.

We have had a remarkable twenty-year association with Deborah. Over the years, she has given her professional attention, knowledge and skills to four of our homes. Her understanding of our needs made the renovation/decorating processes seemingly effortless. She came to know our style and made selections that far exceeded our expectations. After Super Storm Sandy Deborah shouldered the burden of restoring this home to its previous beauty. It is with great admiration that we offer this review.

I truly enjoyed working with Deborah...I was impressed with her at our first meeting, She listened to what we liked and was consistent through out our project. She has great style and just loved how she put things together. She decorated our second home and we were equally pleased. She is a gem!

We meet and got a sense of each other ; having mutual respect is so important . We matched up as a natural , Deborah's talents are outstanding ; her color selection and eye for design are second to none . She listen's to your wants as well as guiding you to put all together in a professional manor. We have since used her on a second home and continue to seek her recommendation on a as need basis . PS I am just the husband and feel this way , my wife has even higher praises for Deborah

We have been working with Deborah Leamann since the early 1980's and she has coordinated countless projects for us at three different properties during that time. Her design judgment and sense of style are flawless, and she has always arranged for the most talented craftsmen to work with us, contributing to the overall effect. In addition, we have found her very easy to work with, as she is flexible rather than determined in her ideas, and has a warm personality. My husband and I have always been thrilled with the outcome, and I have complete confidence in Deborah Leamann's skills and give her our unqualified endorsement.

I have worked with Deborah Leamann off and on for twenty years. Her creativity and professionalism never ceases to amaze me. Deborah's color sense and great taste makes her work stand apart from all others.I would highly recommend her.

Deborah is a pleasure to work with. She truly listens and pays great attention to detail. I have reccomended her to all my friends.
