MY DESIGN JOURNEY

You’ve got a Pinterest board full of beautiful rooms, a home bursting with potential, and no time to bring the two together. Sound familiar? Between the school runs, the work deadlines and the general wonderful chaos of family life, that dream home keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list. And even when you do try, something still feels… off. Like a piece of the puzzle is missing.

Here’s the good news - you’ve just found the person who can make it happen. That home you keep pinning? It’s completely achievable. You don’t need more time, more boards or a bigger budget. You just need the right person in your corner.

Hi, I’m Leanne, Founder & Interior Designer at Arden Grace Interiors. Based in Daventry, Northamptonshire, I design warm, characterful family homes for clients across the county and surrounding areas, including Rugby, Northampton, Banbury. I have a genuine passion for creating warm, characterful homes that families love living in. Not just rooms that look incredible in photos -though they will - but spaces that work hard for real family life and still make your heart sing every time you walk through the door.

I studied at the British College of Interior Design and I’m a proud member of the BIID, so you’re in safe hands. But my love of beautiful spaces goes way back. Long before I was rearranging furniture for a living, I was that child at school losing herself in art.

I later found myself in a career in Finance, but my passion for design never left me. These days, I live in a small village near the historic Althorp Estate. I share my home with my husband, our two children and our dog, who I suspect has more opinions on soft furnishings than he lets on!

These days I live in a small village close to the historic Althorp Estate, the kind of place where the changing seasons feel like theatre and history is quite literally on your doorstep. I share my home with my husband, our two young children and our dog, who I suspect has more opinions about the soft furnishings than he lets on! When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring country estates, seeking out good food, a decent glass of wine and hunting for Antiques stores.

My style is rooted in the landscape around me - the texture, warmth and quiet character of the English countryside. I create interiors that feel layered and considered, full of personality and heritage, but never at the expense of practicality.

Scent Partnership

Alongside the visual elements, we work together on scent too. Scent is the sense most closely linked to memory and emotion. Think of a wood fire that takes you straight back to childhood, or a fragrance that instantly makes you feel calm and at home. I carry 8 signature scents to start the conversation, with access to thousands more to ensure we find the one that feels completely and uniquely you.

If you’re tired of scrolling and saving and still not knowing where to start - I’ve got you. I’ll take all of those ideas and turn them into a cohesive, considered design that’s uniquely yours.
