Design Signature

The Elements of a Mari Lei Space

Every space Leslie touches carries a recognizable warmth — a signature blend of curated materials, living elements, and metallic warmth that transforms rooms into sanctuaries.

01
Gold & Rose Accents

Warmth in Every Detail

Brushed brass fixtures, rose gold hardware, and gilded trim are woven throughout each space — never overdone, always intentional. These warm metallic notes catch the light and elevate even the simplest room into something that feels curated and alive.

Signature Palette
Rose Gold
02
Low-Maintenance Greenery

Life Without the Labor

Sculptural succulents, trailing pothos, and architectural snake plants bring organic softness to every corner — chosen specifically for their beauty and resilience. Living greenery grounds a space in nature without demanding constant attention, perfect for the modern luxury lifestyle.

Signature Palette
Deep Sage
03
Rich Textures & Linens

Luxury You Can Feel

Velvet throw pillows, Belgian linen drapery, bouclé accent chairs, and cashmere-blend throws layer depth and warmth into every composition. Texture is the quiet language of luxury — it transforms a room from something you see into something you experience.

Signature Palette
Warm Taupe

"A space should feel like a deep exhale —
effortless, intentional, and unmistakably yours."

— Leslie Ferrell, Space Planning Specialist

Frequently Asked

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know before getting started. Don't see your question? Reach out directly.

Yes. We offer flexible payment structures for all design and staging packages. Typically, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your project date, with the remaining balance due upon completion. For larger Estate-level projects, we can arrange a custom payment schedule. Contact us to discuss the arrangement that works best for you.

Most home staging projects are completed within 1–3 days depending on the number of rooms and scope. A single-room staging consultation can often be completed in one day, while full-home staging for a listing typically takes 2–3 days including sourcing, delivery, and installation. We work efficiently to meet your listing timeline.

For home staging, we source and bring all furniture, decor, and accessories — you do not need to purchase anything. For space planning projects, we provide a full sourcing plan and can either purchase items on your behalf or provide a detailed shopping list for your approval. All sourcing is included in the Signature and Estate packages.

Absolutely. We specialize in working with what you have and elevating it with thoughtful additions, rearrangement, and styling. During your consultation, we assess your existing pieces and recommend a plan that maximizes your investment while staying within your budget.

Yes, we offer virtual design consultations via video call for clients outside our immediate service area. You'll receive the same personalized attention, mood boards, and design recommendations as an in-person session. Contact us to schedule your virtual consultation.

Built on the Belief That Luxury Is a Standard, Not a Privilege

Precision

Every detail is intentional. We approach each engagement with meticulous care and refined attention.

Integrity

Transparent, honest counsel is the foundation of every client relationship we build.
