Leslie Landis Interior Design and Decoration

We have been working with Leslie for about 18 months now, slowly redoing our apartment room by room. We started with the living room, which had been stalled out for a year while I first tried to do it myself and then tried to use Homepolish. I had an idea of what I wanted but couldn’t seem to communicate it, and I was terrified that I’d make costly decorating mistakes.
Leslie knew exactly the amount of help I needed and helped me cut through myriad choices and paralyzing indecision. She took my ideas and made them better, and in areas where I had no ideas, she came up with fresh and innovative solutions. Leslie is also great about working within a budget and talking me out of things I think I need just because I saw them on Pinterest. By the same token, if I come up with something I really love, she always keeps an open mind and helps me work it into the design in a way that makes sense.
My husband and I both love working with Leslie so much, we’re going to have to move to a new place when this one is finished, just so we can keep working with her!

I’ll keep this short & sweet (like me!):
I am a young bachelor in his 20s who lives in a studio. This is the first time I’ve ever lived truly alone, without a roommate. I pretty much did my best to design it myself, and it stuck that way for about 3 years.
There’s a big difference in a man at 23 and at 26. I no longer felt like my home was really a home at all, but rather some glorified dorm. That’s where Leslie came in. She essentially transformed my place to where I can’t even remember how it used to look. She pretty much just started pointing out all these things that I never even noticed. She has an extra set of eyes, probably.
I have a lot to thank to Leslie. Not only is she a top notch designer, but she’s a great person too. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious and empowering. I have never been so excited to invite friends over for dinner, just so others can see how much a difference interior design makes.
Pretty much never need to find another designer. And I don’t think you will need to either.

Leslie has a real gift for recognizing the potential of a space and helping bring a client’s vision to life. She recently helped set up our new office and we could not be happier. In areas where we had a clear idea of what we wanted she refined what we were imaging and sprinkled in cool surprising touches. In places where we had a less clear idea of what we wanted, she made amazing creative suggestions that really fit our style — she really is great at deciphering a client’s needs, kind of like a design whisperer. She manages projects with ease, has a clear point of view but never pushy she is also very patient, works well within a budget, and has a can-​do attitude — a true collaborator. It feels great to have clients come in an see them react so positively, THANK YOU LESLIE!

I never thought I NEEDED or could afford an interior designer, but after spending a large amount of time on the road working, my apartment was in dire need of a reboot. College student-​chic wasn’t cutting it. I’ve had Leslie consult on an apartment and now on my office, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She always has an opinion and good taste — this might seem simple and obvious, but it REALLY helps when you’re stuck in the details or the absurd minutiae of choosing between two very similiar wall colors, or translating your vague feelings of the way you want a room to make you ‘feel’ into a workable, manageable shopping list and to-​do items. It also helps that she works within your budget, offering different types of packages based on what you want and need. Overall, it’s been great working with her and I highly recommend!

Leslie is the best! She has an amazing and unique eye, she’s super resourceful and an impressive problem solver.
She helped translate my ideas and budget into a unique, beautiful and fun space that completely reflects my personal style. Not to mention I had a blast in the process. She was able to take the fear and intimidation out of the process, so all in all it’s been an incredibly positive experience. I absolutely recommend Leslie to anyone at any price point with any scale project.

Leslie was so helpful and fun to work with! We’ll be calling her back when it’s time for phase 2.

We added on a new bath and master suite to our house which is partially owned by mother, husband, and I. My husband wanted a black and gold 70’s theme, my mother french country, and I more modern. I don’t know how, but she was able to get us all on the same page and design an awesome master suite! This lady has great taste and somehow makes me think to be a designer you need to take a little psych 101 to really make everyone happy and not go crazy.
Its really hard finding things that are awesome in your price range or any price range! She basically made things super easy. I really would have lost my mind if it wasn’t for her. You rule Leslie!

I don’t know what we would have done without Leslie’s expert eye. My wife and I were constantly arguing about how to decorate our house. Leslie managed to find items/​looks/​fabrics better than either my wife or I could have imagined. Leslie is a true professional and a true original on top of that. Trust her eye, your living space will thank you.

Leslie is extremely professional and really works to understand her client in order to deliver a well tailored recommendation. I hired Leslie to work on a small store front for Skinny Bitch Apparel at the Ocean Mart on Main Street in Santa Monica and her recommendations were appropriate of the brand. The process was easy and can all be done online without a meeting in person. I would highly recommend Leslie Landis for personal homes as well as retail installations.

Working with Ms. Landis was and still continues to be a dream! I just relocated to Los Angeles from New York for a new job and to be closer to my family. I decided that I really needed to be a grown up and have my new apartment decorated by a professional. And, Ms. Landis has been that from start until finish.
She consulted with me on my personal and art/​architectural interests and I shared with her my deep appreciation for Eastern rugs. Ms. Landis found a rug for me which anchored my living room. She then sampled a few paint choices she thought would be best for my style as well as the rooms. And, since I have a limited budget I went with her «Room in a Box» service!
When it is time for me to purchase real estate, I will have Ms. Landis work on that project as well. Frankly, I am a bit sad that my apartment has been completed since the entire process was extremely interesting and I loved working with her!
I highly recommend Ms. Landis’ interior decorating. She has many years of experience and works from a collaborative process with all of her clients. She’s amazing!

I just bought my first house (well, condo) and was at a loss for decoration ideas. Some of my stuff worked, some didn’t and I had no idea where to start. While my budget didn’t allow for a full on decoration project, I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes either. Leslie’s «Room in a Box» service was perfect! I sent her photos of my stuff, my condo and images of rooms that inspire me and she put together a floor plan, shopping list and color inspiration board for me. I loved her suggestions and how the room looks so pulled together. I have a few more things to add for «phase two» but I know what I need, and can budget for it. She’s great!
PS room doesn’t come in an actual box unless you count your email in box.
