Hi! I'm Leanne - founder and co-owner of Simone & Ivy.

My passion for creating beautiful spaces has afforded me the opportunities to design stunning show homes for builders, and gorgeous, yet liveable spaces for individuals, couples and families. Spaces that they can not only relax in, but they feel proud to share with their friends and family.


I've been in the in home design "world" for over 18 years, and the one common theme that I've noticed is the entire process of curating, choosing, educating and bringing together beautiful spaces was overwhelming. Wether it be they didn't have time to execute their vision, or perhaps they don't have the experience or skillset to know where to start, (and often a combination of both) these homeowners dreamt of having someone they trusted who could articulate their vision, and bring it to life without the stress and hassle they were experiencing.


This is my passion - helping clients (who most often become friends) create the space of their dreams - while enjoying the process - and heck, even having fun!


I wanted to share a few common questions and answers below to help you decide if a service like this would be the right choice for you! Enjoy!


Advantages of Hiring Professional Furnishing and Decorating Services

When it comes to home design, there are many advantages to hiring professional furnishing and decorating services. First and foremost, professionals have the knowledge and expertise to create stunning spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They understand the principles of design, color theory, and spatial planning, allowing them to transform any space into a work of art.


Another advantage of hiring professionals is that they have access to a wide range of resources and suppliers. This means they can source unique furniture, accessories, and materials that are not readily available to the general public. By incorporating these special elements into your design, professionals can create a truly one-of-a-kind space that reflects your individual style and personality.


Furthermore, professionals can save you time and effort. Designing a home from scratch can be a time-consuming and overwhelming task. There are countless decisions to make, from selecting paint colors to choosing furniture and decor. By hiring professionals, you can alleviate the stress and burden of making these decisions on your own. They will handle all the details, allowing you to focus on enjoying the process and the end result.

Common Challenges in Home Design and How Professionals Can Help

Home design can be a challenging and daunting task, especially for those without a background in interior design. One common challenge is creating a cohesive and harmonious design. Many people struggle with combining different elements, such as furniture, colors, and textures, in a way that feels balanced and unified. This is where professionals can make a significant difference. With their expertise, they can create a design that flows seamlessly from one room to another, creating a sense of unity and harmony throughout your home.


Another challenge is maximizing the use of space. Many homes have awkward layouts or small rooms that can be difficult to work with. Professionals have the skills to optimize the use of space, making even the smallest rooms feel spacious and functional. They can also suggest creative storage solutions to keep your home organized and clutter-free.


Lastly, budget constraints can be a significant challenge in home design. It's easy to get carried away and overspend on furniture and decor. Professionals can help you stay within your budget by offering cost-effective solutions and guiding you towards affordable options that still achieve the desired look and feel.


How Professional Furnishing and Decorating Services Work with Simone & Ivy

Professional furnishing and decorating services typically follow a systematic process to ensure a successful outcome. The first step is an initial consultation - either in store or over Google Meet, where you will meet with Leanne to discuss your vision, style preferences, and budget. This is an essential step as it lays the foundation for the entire design process.


Once the designer has a clear understanding of your needs and preferences, they will start creating a design concept. This may include mood boards, color palettes, and layouts to help you visualize the final result. During this phase, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback and make any necessary adjustments.


After the design concept is finalized, the next step is sourcing furniture, accessories, and materials. Professionals have access to a wide range of suppliers and can help you find the perfect pieces that fit your style and budget. They will handle all the ordering and logistics, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.


Once all the pieces are ready, the final step is installation and decorating. Leanne and her team will coordinate the delivery and placement of furniture, hang artwork, and style the space with accessories. This is where the magic happens, and your vision comes to life. The end result will be a beautifully designed space that reflects your personality and exceeds your expectations.


Choosing the Right Professional for your Home Design Project

Choosing the right professional for your home design project is crucial to achieving the desired outcome. Here are a few factors to consider when making your decision:


1. **Style compatibility**: Look for professionals whose style aligns with your own. Review their portfolio and see if their previous work resonates with your design aesthetic.


2. **Experience and expertise**: Consider the experience and expertise of the professionals you are considering. Look for designers who have a proven track record and a diverse portfolio.


3. **Communication and collaboration**: Building a strong rapport with your designer is essential for a successful project. Choose someone who listens to your ideas and communicates effectively.


4. **Budget and pricing**: Discuss your budget upfront and ensure that the professional you choose can work within your financial constraints. Be clear about any additional costs or fees.


By considering these factors, you can find the right professional who will bring your vision to life and create a space that exceeds your expectations.


Collaborating with Professionals to Create your Dream Space

Collaborating with professionals is an exciting and rewarding experience. By working together, you can create a space that is tailored to your unique style and needs. Here are a few tips for effective collaboration:


1. **Be clear about your vision**: Communicate your vision, preferences, and goals to the professional. The more information you provide, the better they can understand your needs and translate them into a design.


2. **Be open to new ideas**: While it's important to communicate your preferences, be open to the professional's suggestions and ideas. They have the expertise and knowledge to push boundaries and create innovative designs.


3. **Provide feedback**: Throughout the design process, provide feedback on the concepts and ideas presented to you. This will ensure that the final design reflects your vision and meets your expectations.


4. **Maintain open communication**: Regularly communicate with the professional to stay updated on the progress of the project. This will allow you to address any concerns or make adjustments as needed.


Remember, collaboration is key to creating a space that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle. By working closely with professionals, you can bring your dream space to life.


How Professional Furnishing and Decorating Services can Save You Time and Money

Contrary to popular belief, hiring professional furnishing and decorating services can actually save you time and money in the long run. Here's how:


1. **Expertise and efficiency**: Professionals have the knowledge and expertise to streamline the design process. They can quickly identify the right furniture, accessories, and materials for your space, saving you hours of research and decision-making.


2. **Access to exclusive resources**: Professionals have access to a wide network of suppliers and resources that are not readily available to the general public. This means they can source high-quality furniture and decor at discounted prices, saving you money on your purchases.


3. **Avoid costly mistakes**: Designing a home on your own can lead to costly mistakes. From buying furniture that doesn't fit the space to choosing the wrong paint colors, these mistakes can be expensive to rectify. By hiring professionals, you can avoid these costly errors and ensure a seamless design process.


4. **Long-term value**: Investing in professional design services can significantly increase the value of your home. A well-designed and thoughtfully decorated space can command a higher resale value and attract potential buyers.


So, while it may seem like an additional expense upfront, hiring professionals can actually save you time, money, and headaches in the long run.
