Malibu West Interiors

Leslie is a dream to work with. We sold our previous house fully furnished, so she had her hands full filling our new home. Leslie really listened to what we wanted, and managed to bring together an amazingly beautiful home. We were not afraid of color, and she brought so many different ideas, some we never would have thought of, but we ended up loving her inspiration. Her attention to detail is impressive. We are so excited to enjoy our unique, vibrant, comfortable home for years to come.

Love Malibu Interiors! Leslie listened to what we wanted and understood how to handle the process of redoing the interior of our home. Leslie made selections carefully and gave us choices. I would recomend Leslie for anyone who would like to redesign their home.

It has been the best experience working with Leslie and Tim at Malibu West Interiors. Leslie is seasoned at designing all types of interior spaces. I knew early on that she was listening and working to get me the contemporary style home I wanted but did not know how to achieve. Leslie is easy to work with and has good insight about what not to do, which is so important. She brings clear but creative thinking to the decision process. This really helped the project keep moving. Her years of experience and professionalism really shines through.

We have absolutely enjoyed working with Leslie and Tim Thompson of Malibu West Interiors. We were looking for a designer that was creative (no cookie-cutter plans, thank you!), comfortable with unusual spaces and the design problems that they can present and responsive to our individual design tastes. We found all of our needs - and more - were met by Leslie of Malibu West (Leslie handles the project design and her husband, Tim, handles the backside of the business). We needed to completely redecorate our Naples condo and had to work with the terra-cotta tile floor that we had " inherited" from a previous owner. In addition to our floors, we had installed new cabinets and done tile work in our bathrooms several years before getting to the next phase of our decorating plan. Needless to say, it was going to take someone very special to come in and bring everything together as if it had all been planned out from the start. Leslie did an outstanding job of meeting us where we were in our design phase and helping us to take things to the next level. She was very communicative, especially by email, since our main home is not in Naples. My husband and I travelled down to meet with Leslie several times for her to get a sense of our style and our project. But, after that, we communicated mostly by email. It was wonderful and seamless to be able to receive design ideas and selections in this way. If something didn't translate by email well, Leslie was sure to call in order to elaborate on a concept or answer any questions. Had we known about Leslie sooner, we would have had her take care of our cabinet and tile project, too! But, lesson learned and we will be calling her for our needs in the future. There are so many designers to choose from in the Naples area it can be hard to narrow down the field to that one special design firm. But, if you are looking for a design team that is talented, undaunted by design dilemmas, professional in every way (communicative, flexible, reliable, adaptable..) then look no further than Leslie and Tim of Malibu West Interiors.

Leslie transformed my bedroom! She was a joy to work with, and I am thrilled with how beautiful my bedroom looks now! I highly recommend her.

I have had two wonderful experiences with Leslie at Malibu West Interiors. We worked very well together and she understood my needs perfectly. My home is beautiful and I would highly recommend Leslie and her staff!

I am highly satisfied with all of my interior design projects completed by Malibu West Interiors. Their integrity and attention to detail is unsurpassed within the profession. I intend to continue to utilize their excellent services for all my interior design needs and refer them to others seeking an amazing team of design professionals.

Leslie is an outstanding interior designer! Extremely professional, creative, flexible, and a great listener. She is a pleasure to work with and a great problem solver. In the last few years Leslie and I have worked on numerous small designs that she has given a tremendous amount of attention and detail to regardless the size of the project. I feel extremely grateful to have found leslie and cannot wait to work together again soon.

With Leslie's interior design mastery she helped me create a beautiful home for my family. Her honesty, patience and in-depth knowledge made for a smooth design process for my new home from helping me select window treatments, paint colors, counter selections, flooring and lighting,etc. Will definitely work with Leslie again and highly recommend her professionalism and expertise.

Thank you so much for everything you have done to help us get situated in our new home. My husband and I really enjoy working with you and your professionalism is truly valued and appreciated. I couldn't have done any of it without you and appreciate all the advice, phone calls, texts, recommendations, and most of all iyour personal touch with your beautiful smile. We are so happy with the furniture, artwork, and it's placement in our new home.

Leslie provided valuable input on my custom home building project and offered advice on lighting, fabric, and wallpaper selections (to name a few!). She was readily available to answer any questions I had and is knowledgeable and creative when it comes to interior design. I highly recommend Leslie and Malibu West Interiors for all your decorating needs.

I have worked with Leslie Thompson for over 10 years. It is an absolute joy to work with Leslie! She is an excellent communicator who listens to her clients and delivers an outstanding design every time. Leslie has a wonderful design vision and every detail is important.

Leslie was fun to work with! We did a custom door for one of her clients. She wanted a rounded top (I am assuming to match the look of the arched doorways in other parts of the home). We collaborated back and forth until the design was settled on. The tempered Spray-Light glass really completed the look.

Our redecorating plans involved removing wallpaper, painting and updating the general feel of our house. Leslie and her team had full access for several months while we were absent. Great care was taken in moving and protecting the items being worked around. A powder room fix became more troublesome than expected, but Leslie managed to turn it into an absolute gem, nonetheless. Her advice was sound and the selections we were given to choose from were always very classy and unique. Leslie is very easy to work with and we will be asking her to manage another project in the near future. Karen & Don

We have found working with Leslie Thompson at Malibu West Interiors to be a positive, stress free experience, as she is communicative, organized and professional. Our home design layout is beautiful, yet challenging, as it is a large, free flowing, open space floor plan overlooking the water. Not easy to tie together for a cohesive, unified look. Yet, Leslie Thompson showed she is a visionary, displaying creativity and talent. Her wealth of experience was evident as she researched furniture, fabrics, colors, rugs, draperies, and accessories (all to perfection) tying the rooms together for a cohesive sophisticated look. The result of her efforts is a stunning, successful conclusion to our home design project and a place we are proud to call home during the winter months in Florida.

We recently worked with Leslie at Malibu West Interiors and found her to be creative, professional, and most cooperative. She operated within our budget, while offering us a number of options to achieve the desired results. Leslie worked well with our general contractor during the extensive renovation process. This was especially important, as we were in Michigan during most of the work. Leslie has transformed our house into a warm, beautifully updated home we love and enjoy!

Professionalism and a great attitude! It is always a pleasure to work with Malibu West Interiors for home renovation and remodeling projects. Watching her work unfold is gorgeous---Malibu West has a keen and intuitive eye for design that is obvious in every room she reinvents. Leslie is a genuinely honest and thoughtful business owner, which is something we greatly value. She has a beautiful way of complimenting our flooring. We always look forward to working with Malibu West!

The work of Leslie Thompson was truly wonderful. Her imagination and creativity in blending colors and features was truly of great help to us in seeing a marvelous finished product. Her communication and coordination of details was greatly appreciated. She was a delight to work with.

Having now worker together on various project for nearly seven years, and with another successful job just over, we wanted to reflect on all that you have done for us in that period that has made our home a much more attractive place in which to live. We and you inherited a number of problems from floors to furniture to fabrics that needed redesign or change to create the sort of "feel" we were looking for. You listened well and understood implicitly what we were trying to achieve and brought the expertise to help us get it right and the experience to make sure we didn't make costly mistakes. Now the results are here for all our visitors to see and for us to enjoy. We are great believers in dealing with small businesses where possible; and in your case not having the 'baggage' of the larger organization has meant we have had a very personal, enjoyable and effective service from you. Keep up the good work - and feel free to pass this letter on to anyone who wants a first hand assessment from an enthusiastic client."

If you have a vision, Malibu West Interiors brings it to life! It was important for us to work with a talented & reliable decorator. As a second home, it is challenging to do much alone. Leslie has been reliable, honest & a great resource for ideas in making our place perfect! We met with Leslie & provided some basic ideas for a Mediterranean villa motif we were looking to achieve. She has given us our "Amalfi on the Gulf"! We highly recommend Malibu West Interiors. No detail is too big or too small. She and her team have worked diligently on our place, not letting any detail go. From the entry to the lanai, and all in-between, Leslie has been fabulous!

Our company has been privileged to be a part of several of Malibu West's projects. All of the projects have been extremely creative, well managed and rewarding experiences. Leslie and the team she brings are all easy to deal with, assembled for the common goal of delivering a unique, beautiful and high-quality product for the client. Her communication is always gracious and she is able to navigate through complex situations with dignity and professionalism. I unreservedly recommend her for any size project, you will not be disappointed!

Our interior design was fabulous! We were delighted with every aspect of the job and are thoroughly enjoying our space. The designer is/was professional in every way, following through and caring for every detail. Billing was prompt and accurate and honest. It was an excellent experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

I saw photo's of your work on your website. And I had a good feeling at our first meeting. Professional, focused, friendly, with a very relaxed demeanor, you seemed like someone I would truly enjoy working with. Nearly a year later, I now know you are talent and dedication beyond designing/decorating. The house looks just like I hoped it would, and I could have never done it without you. I truly appreciate your attention to ALL the details, the extra time you and Tim took compensating for other's mistakes, filling in at meetings , etc, when it wasn't your responsibility to do so, and always keeping us informed with good news, or otherwise. Thank you Leslie and Tim Thompson for keeping the vision on what I once referred to as our "project", and what I now refer to as our magnificent new home. Debra Accomando

I was somewhat hesitant to use a professional designer, but we had just bought a new house in a new state, so were new to area with an overwhelming choice but no knowledge of where to shop and who to use. I wanted the house to be my personality, not someone else’s. Malibu Interiors was recommended by friend. After meeting Leslie and talking I was amazed that her designs and ides adapted to my personal style. She pulled rabbits out of hats, using her contacts and experience to deliver outstanding results. Leslie worked hard coming up with ideas that suited the style we wanted, and worked with us patiently while we made and changed our minds. We are delighted with the results and have a house that people walk in and say ‘wow’.

We had just moved to a home near the beach and we needed a totally different style of decorating than we had in our previous home. Leslie Thompson of Malibu West Interiors gave us just what we were looking for, a cozy but unique design to our home. Leslie did not give me a cookie cutter style. She worked with me to learn my personality and expectations. The result is a style that represents me and not a photo from a magazine. Leslie provided elements that you will not see anywhere else. I found this design company to be friendly, efficient and fair. I have used many designers over the years and this is the most honest and dependable firm I have ever worked with. We enjoyed working with them so much that we are now collaborating on our exterior living space. It is easy to see how Malibu West Interiors is highly rated and has won national recognition.
