Read what our clients had to say…

I’m so happy I made the decision to use an interior designer but even happier that I chose Claudia Leah Design! I love your overall design and the quality of the items but also the quality of your contractors…your GC and Audio/Video provider in particular. I also appreciate your open communication with me regarding costs and delivery schedules. Obviously I would have loved everything being delivered sooner but I completely understand the delays were caused by a once in a lifetime pandemic and I appreciate you scheduling the deliveries around my visits to Naples. I know your work added so much value to my place and I would not hesitate to use your design services again!

– Mike H., Naples/Esplanade by the Islands

We could not be happier! Claudia and her team went above and beyond our expectations. We never expected the design to look so elegant, warm and welcoming. You really caught who we are with your selections for us. The quality of everything is exceptional! You were always there for us when we had any questions or concerns. And always got back to us asap. Thank you for your patience and all your great organization with putting all this together as we certainly couldn’t do it without you all. The only wrinkle in all of this was waiting for the deliveries but a lot of that was just out of your hands with the current supply chain issues. One more thing: everyone that comes over can’t get over how great everything is – A few of our neighbors are actually designers and they love our place.❤️

– Glenda K. and Lou S., Naples FL

Decorating an apartment long distance was not something I was overly enthused about doing but it was necessary. My husband and I purchased a 3 bedroom apartment in Pelican Bay which had to be gutted and furnished. My time in Florida is very limited due to the fact that I have a daughter in high school and do not have the flexibility to fly back and forth.

I found Claudia Leah Design Studio on google and was happy to know her studio was right up the street. Once I contacted Claudia Leah Design Studio, Claudia met me right away. Claudia’s first question was, “What would you like this apartment to look like” and I said, “a hotel”. She said, “OK a hotel it is”. She knew my thoughts before I even knew what I wanted. It was difficult going from a very traditional home to a sleek contemporary hotel feel. She took on my project with enthusiasm, precision and clarity while I was concerned and confused.

Knowing my time limitations not only with travel but with restrictions within the condo complex on when you can renovate, Claudia and her assistant Cheryl presented in one weekend every room design. Each room was laid out in her beautiful studio with furniture, window treatments, colors and accessories for me to choose. Her ideas were exciting…accenting certain walls with wallpaper and painting others. Fabric that was neutral yet warm. Furniture that was functional yet beautiful. Claudia and Cheryl made the project fun and exciting.

Claudia and I communicated frequently by email, text and phone. She responded quickly to my concerns and stayed on budget.

Before I knew it I watched my thoughts become a reality.

Claudia worked closely with the contractor and acted as an amazing Project Manager to the job by communicating our design ideas to the contractor and taking pictures of their every move. Once the contractor was finished Claudia had every piece of furniture delivered, set up every installer, arranged every accessory on time and sent lots of pictures. I was concerned that I would not be able to come back to Florida before my family was ready to visit and take care of all the details of stocking the kitchen, sheets, towels, etc. Claudia took care of every detail. Claudia had a cleaning service come in so the apartment would be spotless. She filled my kitchen with every item I would need, bought bath towels and beach towels and received any items I sent to her office from NJ and set them up in the apartment.

I was able to take a quick flight down before my family arrived just to see if I needed to do any last touches. Arriving late one evening from NJ, Claudia said her and Cheryl would be at the apartment to greet me….I walked in and what I saw was beyond my expectations. It was more beautiful than any 5 star hotel I had ever stayed at, it was cozy, warm and felt like home. And just like a hotel everything was done all I had to do was empty my suitcase.

Thank you Claudia and Cheryl.

Claudia and her team are a very friendly and professional, with a vast experience not only in interior designing, but also in construction in general.

– Eric | Smoky Stone

Being a part time Naples resident, it was hard for me to fathom redecorating my apartment without actually seeing and feeling furniture I needed to buy, but I had no choice as I needed the expertise of a designer for envisioning a plan for our space. I did not want to get this wrong.  So I found Claudia Leah Design. I have to say I was nervous, as this is an investment, but as a member of her team told me, you have to take that leap of faith, and trust what their recommendations were. Claudia and her team listened to what we wanted to achieve, total comfort, classic casual with durable fabrics. Claudia delivered on everything she promised. Furniture is beautiful, comfortable And durable. It came on time, and the white glove service was truly white glove.

This is money well spent, not one regret. We still have more to go! Thanks Claudia !

– Anita C., Riverstone, Naples FL

Claudia made decorating and furnishing our home fun and exciting. She explored the different styles we discussed, helped us integrate the styles to achieve our desired look. When friends and family come to visit they all comment, ‘how Beautiful!’ It has the WOW factor we wanted. Our home is even more than we could have expected, and certainly more than we could have achieved on our own.

– Rick & Noni S., Naples, FL

Claudia made sure she understood the changes I wanted to make in my décor. She looked around my home to get a feel of my lifestyle. She asked all the right questions and went to work. Together we decide on the best materials to achieve my goal and satisfy her decorating sense. She made it so easy. She is organized, hardworking and a very pleasant person with whom to work.

– Eileen P. Naples, FL

This was our first experience using a decorator but, being new to southwest Florida, we knew we needed guidance with design and furniture selection. We were a bit fearful going into the process; however, after meeting with Claudia we knew we were in good hands. Her knowledge of design, furniture construction, and fabrics was apparent from the start, and we put our trust in her. The outcome was fabulous – we love everything! We’ve received many compliments, and even our skeptical kids were impressed when they came to visit!

– Paul & Jen P. Ave Maria, FL/Wisconsin

Claudia was truly terrific to work with! She has a delightful demeanor and makes everyone feel like a special client. I was stuck in a boring beige open living space. She brought us out of the blah and boring and into a very comfortable coastal living area with style, color and a bit of sparkle! It was a great experience and we are very pleased with everything!

– Bob & Mary H. Naples, FL/Wisconsin

Working with Claudia was a dream! Ideas and samples were right on target as well as our budget. The entire process was smooth and we are delighted with our new coastal look!

– Pat & Nan C. Naples, FL

We bought a home in Naples wanting it to be our beach getaway but it needed some work. Claudia has worked with us for the past year and she has managed to transform our house into an inviting oasis. She was easy to work with and oversaw all aspects of each job. Her coordination of delivery dates and times was flawless and her recommendations for tradesman to work with has been wonderful. Her work is always defined by excellence and thoughtfulness and we cannot be more thrilled when we are able to invite our family and friends to enjoy our getway with us!

– Joan N. Naples, FL / Pennsylvania

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my window treatments. I ABSOLUTELY love them and they look fantastic. What a transformation it made.

Being an “out of town” customer can be a difficult task. You were so comfortable to work with and helped make the decisions easy by having the material swatches sent to my home in Cincinnati.

Marco Island, FL Interior DesignerI can’t thank you enough for everything you did.

– Jim & Linda W. Naples, FL / Ohio

You truly understand customer service. It is so nice to know that when we are in Naples we can enjoy the beach and pool without having to worry about running around to make purchases.

Thank you for all of your help!

– Gabriella O. Naples, FL / Ontario

I work at home and needed a comfortable and efficient home office. Joe and Claudia listened to my needs and offered the perfect design. The space was maximized and we have plenty of storage. Most importantly, it looks awesome and I stayed within budget. I know I would have wasted time, and money, if I even attempted to do this on my own.

My experience with Decorating Den was perfect in every way and I offer my unconditional, enthusiastic endorsement.

– Diane W. Naples, FL

Thanks Claudia from Decorating Den! You were so excited to help me with my crazy ideas and helped to made my life easy and my surroundings beautiful! My living room is outstanding and my custom headboard is to die for! I know I will be asking for help to redo other areas.

– Rebeca L. Naples, FL

Claudia Leah Design was fantastic. They helped determine the best fabric for our chairs and they look fantastic. The process went super smooth and Claudia is super to work with.

– Stefan K. Naples, FL

My husband and I contacted Claudia for help with our new restaurant. It needed a complete makeover and although Claudia usually does residential design, I was so happy that she was willing to take on a commercial project. She asked all the right questions about how we wanted the restaurant to feel. She assessed the space and found the perfect furnishings that combined style with function. She chose wall coverings, art and light fixtures that worked together to create a warm and welcoming environment for our guests to enjoy while dining. During the whole process Claudia always offered options to choose from in varying price ranges so that we could make the best decisions for our budget. Since we have opened, not a day goes by without customers commenting on our decor and how nice it looks. The response has been amazing and we can’t thank Claudia enough for sharing her talent with us and helping us start our new business venture off on such a positive note.

– Alison D. Naples, FL

Claudia and her team are true decorating professionals! They tackle a project with precision and experience. Plus their showroom is full of fabric samples, window treatments and lighting too. Its a great place to go for design inspiration. A great thing about using Claudia Leah and Decorating Den is that you get an awesome product and truly professional interior decorators. not like the furniture store designers all over Naples.

– Charles R. Naples, FL

Claudia and her team are first rate. When I visited their office they listened to my questions about interior design and my style. Their recommended coming to my home and sitting down with different ideas that matched what I was looking for. In 2016 I plan on redecorating my home and will definitely use Decorating Den.
