House Envy: Top Home Designer Leah Alexander Unveils her Atlanta Home

Atlanta, get ready to experience house envy in a new way as the HGTV ‘Designer of the Year’, Leah Alexander, has added her trademark touch of color and unique collections to her Atlanta home. This extraordinary lady, usually seen in her all-black outfit, has elegantly draped her living space in a splash of luminescent colors. However, what’s surprising is that her fondness for radiant colors truly comes out in her decorating projects and not her wardrobe. Known for her unusual taste in colors, don’t be surprised to find green, yellow, or even purple cabinetry in her home complemented by floral wallpapers and saturated art. Let’s dive into the details.

The Condo’s Interior Adding Color Pop

Talking about her Midtown condo, it truly stands as the epitome of color and creativity. The vibrant kitchen with Sherwin- Williams’ “Chartreuse” painted cabinets against exposed-brick walls is indeed a sight to behold. In a world where white kitchens dominate, Alexander breaks the stereotype and inspires us to dream aloud. But it’s not just the chartreuse shade that steals the show, prepare to be dazzled by bathrooms covered in shades of lilac and fuchsia with artwork and rugs adding to the color fiesta in each room. These fearless strokes of color make each corner of the house ‘Instagrammable’

Transforming an Ordinary Condo into a Lavish Home

The condo building dating back to 1921, was rendered as a classic and understated sanctuary among the skyscrapers by Leah Alexander. The charm of hardwood floors, exposed brick, and concrete columns combined with her idea of mixing color and materials have turned this condo into a dream house. From a hand-cast pink concrete coffee table as the center of attraction in the living room to the textural sectional sofa from Moe’s Home Collection, the condo exudes comfort and style.

A Personal Touch to the Masterpiece

Being a lifelong collector of significant items, Alexander has a soft corner for artisan-led companies. Along with her eclectic collections, space features items like a pink concrete coffee table hand cast by Bridge + Fog, a black wooden side table handmade by Allison Samuels of Two Tree Studios in Brooklyn. Even considering the dining chairs that are vintage Bertoia with new boucle covers/cushions, every piece in her condo tells a story.

Leah Alexander: A Champion Designer

Having spent her childhood in Southern California and her early working days in LA, Leah Alexander moved to Atlanta and it didn’t take her long to make waves in Atlanta’s design industry. Apart from bagging the Designer of the Year award from HGTV magazine, she was tapped as the “Next Wave of designers” by House Beautiful, and included in Architectural Digest’s AD PRO directory. Her philosophy, “to cultivate sanctuary at home, and live a little”, has won many hearts, and her extraordinary touch of design in her Atlanta home is a testament to it.
