Designer of the Year” Leah Alexander Glam Up Atlanta Home with her Special Color and Collections

Guess who has managed to get every Atlantian’s heart racing with the stunning design of her home? Indeed, it’s none other than Leah Alexander, the too-much-talented interior designer acclaimed as the HGTV “Designer of the Year.” Leah brought her trademark vivid hues and curated collections into her delightful Midtown condo, once again proving her motto – “beauty is abundant.”

Pop of Colors in an Oasis Amid Skyscrapers

Leah’s love for bright colors transcends from the canvas of her projects to the heart of her personal abode. The home opens with an exuberant kitchen, painted in a bold ‘Chartreuse’ shade from Sherwin-Williams. This fresh burst of hue, especially against beautiful exposed brick walls, is a testament to Leah’s signature flair for mixing bright color palettes with diverse materials.

In contrast to living her own life in black wardrobes, Leah’s house dances in splendid shades from every corner. From the lilac and fuchsia bathrooms to the vibrantly adorned artwork and rugs, the condo is a radiant star that stands tall amid Atlanta’s skyline. The charm of the condo lies not in the extravagance of design, but in Leah’s ability to transform every piece into a star element across the palette.

Mix-Match of Classic and Understated

While it’s easy to be swayed away by the glossy finish of her colorful interiors, let’s not dodge the respectful homage to the understated beauty that dwells in this diva’s sanctuary. This humble abode, built in 1921, stands as a timeless beauty against the skyscrapers, with hardwood floors, exposed brick, and concrete columns contributing to its classic composure.

All it took was a little trimming, a little rearrangement, and her Midtown condo was ready for action. It was no surprise when she invited her loyal fans into her open condo, showcasing how she carefully treaded the line between classic and contemporary.

A Retrospect on Leah’s Journey

If you’re wondering about the secret sauce behind Leah’s incredible transformation, look no further than her Southern California roots and fond childhood memories spent in her grandparents’ custom-built Minnesota house with Danish teak furniture. Her design inspiration flows from these early influences, combined with the vibrant tapestry of LA’s lifestyle, stringing together a distinctive blueprint for her design approach.

Her eclectic mix of trademark bold hues, a sincere love for sculptural furniture, and artisan-produced accessories sets her apart from her peers. Meet her pink concrete coffee table hand-cast by Bridge + Fog or her black wooden side table handmade by Allison Samuels of ‘Two Tree Studios’ in Brooklyn. Every piece in her collection reiterates her belief in the abundant beauty around us.

Leah’s work is a testament that designing is more than just playing with colors and patterns; it’s about curating an experience. It’s about transforming a space into a haven. And to ensure this transformation, she dreamt out loud with her clients, asking, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we did this?’

Leah’s story is an inspiration for us to cultivate our sanctuary and live a little. Her philosophy rings: if you can dream it, you can do it. Leah Alexander indeed sets us thinking if the world can indeed be a beautiful place, can’t our homes be a reproduction of that very beauty?
