about Us
It starts with paying attention
PresLeigh Designs was founded on a simple belief: good design starts with understanding how people actually live.
Most of the clients who come to us aren’t looking for something trendy or overdone. They’re looking for clarity. They want their home to work better, feel more personal, and reflect who they are now — not who they were when the house was first built or last updated.
Usually, they know something isn’t quite right. A kitchen that doesn’t flow. Rooms that feel disconnected. A home that looks finished but still doesn’t feel comfortable day to day.
That’s where our work begins.
Listening comes first
Before plans are drawn or selections are made, we spend time talking. We want to understand how your home is used, what feels off, and what you hope it can become.
Many clients tell us they struggle to put their ideas into words. They know what they’re drawn to, but they aren’t sure how to make it all come together in a way that feels right for their home. Through conversation, observation, and experience, we help uncover those unspoken preferences and turn them into thoughtful, intentional design decisions.
The process is collaborative and grounded. You won’t feel rushed or pushed toward a predetermined look. Our role isn’t to take over your space — it’s to guide it forward in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Design that feels collected, not prescribed
The homes we create feel refined but livable. Layered, warm, and personal rather than overly styled. Traditional foundations mixed with modern elements. Texture, pattern, and color used in ways that feel considered, not trendy.
Every project is shaped by the people who live there. We blend existing pieces with new selections so spaces feel collected over time, not replaced all at once.
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we work with a small group of trusted manufacturers alongside local craftsmen, artisans, and makers. These relationships allow for custom details and thoughtful materials that give each space depth and character.
Meet Shana
Shana has a natural ability to see past what isn’t working and help clients recognize what’s possible for their space.
Many of the homeowners she works with know something feels off, but they aren’t sure how to fix it or where to start. Shana helps them step back, look at the bigger picture, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Her work blends traditional foundations with modern touches, often layering in vintage pieces to create spaces that feel collected, personal, and lived in. Her style leans toward an elevated Southern aesthetic, where beauty and comfort exist side by side and a home is meant to be enjoyed, not just admired.
With years of experience in interior and remodeling design, Shana works closely with homeowners and trusted trades to guide projects from early ideas through completion. She’s known for balancing the big picture with the details, helping clients make thoughtful decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
At the heart of her work is a simple goal: creating homes that reflect the people who live in them and support the way they want to live now.
Meet Karol
Karol is known for creatively helping homeowners fall back in love with spaces that need anything from a minor refresh to a major transformation.
Her work centers on reimagining how homes are experienced by rethinking layouts and creating inviting gathering places that encourage connection, comfort, and a more beautiful way of living.
Thoughtfully blending treasured pieces that are already well loved with unique new elements creates interiors that feel both elevated and deeply personal.
As a Certified True Colour Expert, Karol’s extensive training and experience with color allow her to refine and refresh rooms with a cohesive, intentional flow.
Loving where you live is achievable at every level, and that meaningful transformation doesn’t always require a major renovation. Karol’s favorite part of the process is seeing everything come together in ways that exceed what my clients imagined and the joy they experience every day.
Her approach is collaborative and attainable, rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to live in spaces that feel beautiful, function well, and truly feel like home.
the result
The homes we create don’t feel copied or overly designed. They feel lived in, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together in a way that makes sense for the families who live there.
Our goal is always for your home to reflect you and your lifestyle — how you move through the space, how you gather, and how you want it to feel at the end of the day. We’re here to help bring those ideas into focus and guide them into a finished home that feels natural, personal, and lasting.
When the work is done, the space feels better to live in. Rooms feel connected. The home finally feels like it fits the people and the life inside it.
That’s what success looks like at PresLeigh Designs.
