Feel like your home should ‘work’ better, but don’t know where to start?

Let’s turn your overwhelm into a clear, personalized design plan—before you spend a single cent on furniture or paint.

But right now? You’re walking into a home that stresses you out more than it supports you.

You want it to feel cohesive, functional, and like you - but instead, you're stuck in decision fatigue, wasting hours scrolling and second-guessing everything from the sofa to the storage.

Here’s what you want (and deserve):

  • A home that reflects your family’s lifestyle—not a showroom or someone else’s Pinterest board.

  • Clarity on what to buy (and what not to) so you stop wasting money on the wrong things.

  • Confidence in your style so you can stop asking, “Does this go?” and start saying, “This feels right”.

  • A plan that makes hiring pros and making decisions easier, not harder.

What if designing & decorating your home didn't feel so hard - and just felt right?

You're not looking for a cookie-cutter makeover.

You want a home that feels like a natural extension of the way your family lives, functions and connects.

One that looks beautiful, yes—but also makes day-to-day life smoother, calmer, and more you.

You’re ready for a plan that offers:

  • A clear, personalized design direction that simplifies every choice—from layout to lighting

  • A space that looks polished and supports real life (messy mornings, movie nights and all)

  • Confidence to move forward with trades, purchases, and renovations without second-guessing

  • A cohesive home that reflects your style, without starting from scratch or chasing trends

With a clear home design plan rooted in your lifestyle, you can stop guessing and start making confident, aligned decisions - before any costly mistakes are made.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A curated questionnaire designed to uncover how your family truly lives - because a home that fits beautifully must first fit your lifestyle.

  • A one-on-one consultation where we’ll translate your daily rhythms, preferences, and priorities into clear design insights - laying the foundation for spaces that are both elegant and effortlessly functional.

  • A personalized design playbook for your home that will save you time, money, and decision fatigue when creating a home that is beautiful and kid/dog/guest-proof.

  • And best of all… the CONFIDENCE to create a home you love - whether you take the DIY approach or leverage further professional guidance.

Meet the design process that builds out a custom home strategy so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and no wasted dollars.

Self-guided lifestyle review questionnaire

  • A do-on-your-own time guide that enables you to efficiently download your day-to-day and have it captured for you (all before I set foot in your home).

  • Questions that will get your juices flowing so you can share all about your life without the fear of forgetting or missing anything.

  • My bank of design-style questions because it's time to short-cut finding your own style voice.

  • Image samples that make considering style preferences super simple.

Ready to have a guide to help you think about which parts of day-to-day life are key to a successful home environment? Yes please!

A Lifestyle Summary

All that deep-thinking, self-reflecting research gets reviewed and summarized into Part ONE of your whole home blueprint. 

  • I take the time to go over all your lifestyle information to build out a curated and concise summary so you can read your "story" and gut-check it.

  • You have the opportunity to re-work anything that feels off before we meet.

  • I use the document and your feedback to prep for our consultation session.

In-Home Consultation

You've waited so patiently and done the hard work.  Now we look at your space and talk about the future!  

  • We’ll meet for a 2-hour meeting that is oh-so efficient.  You've already shared so many details!

  • I will take measurements and quick sketches of up to 3 key rooms or spaces.

  • We will bounce around some preliminary design ideas.

Your Home Blueprint

Woo hoo!  The in-home review session, combined with the questionnaire, captures everything that is needed to build your Home Blueprint and clearly articulate both your design preferences and functional needs.

Your Home Blueprint report will:

  • Efficiently summarize your design perspective, so you can quit spending so much time on Pinterest or online window shopping.

  • Document your family's day-to-day lifestyle and how it plays into design & functional needs.

The digital format allows you to print a copy but also have an “on-the-go” version so you are never without your ‘playbook’.

Sure, you could try to figure out a design plan using free online style quizzes, Pinterest boards, or a free consultation with furniture store designers…

- but these typically provide shallow insights, no nuance, and do not capture real-life habits or space usage. 

And one-room decorator packages often lack a full-home or lifestyle integration so some rooms get the love and others have no plan at all.

Investing in The Home Blueprint is committing to a solution to turn your overwhelm into a design plan that will ensure your hard-earned dollars are spent wisely.

My Home Blueprint Promise

I want you to feel confident and inspired by your Home Blueprint.

That’s why each plan includes up to two rounds of thoughtful revisions—to fine-tune the details and make sure your home plan reflects your lifestyle, taste, and needs.

Revisions cover refinements to layout, palette, and function based on your original direction and must be requested within 1 week of receiving the plan, or within 1 week of receiving the updated plan following the 1st revision.

If you need more support after that, I offer optional add-on consults to keep the momentum going.

Your home design plan should be strategic and personal.

I'm Angela, and I help time-strapped homeowners press pause, get clear on what they need from their space, and design homes that function as beautifully as they look.

Before launching Leah Home Design Studio, I spent years as a professional engineer in operations and logistics - where I learned the value of asking the right questions before solving the problem.

But like so many homeowners, when it came to my own home, I skipped the questions. I followed trends, impulse-bought furniture, and pieced together rooms based on what was available (or what was on sale). No plan. Just guesswork.

That's when I realized that designing your home should be less about INSPIRATION, and more about INTENTION.

Because here's the truth: a few pretty pictures aren't a blueprint.

They can't tell me how you live, what matters to you, or why your dining table doubles as your 5 pm homework station.

I created the Home Blueprint to fix that.

It’s a personalized, strategic design tool that starts with your real lifestyle - how you live, what you value, and how your home needs to function. Inside, you’ll find floorplans, a cohesive colour palette, layout ideas, and room-by-room recommendations that make sense for your life.

The result? A clear, confident foundation that saves you time, energy, and money - so your next design decision isn’t a guess, it’s guided.

This isn’t just a plan.

 It's your North Star for every space in your home.

And that, my friend, is why I created The Home Blueprint.

 Are you ready?

How to know if you’re a perfect match for the Home Blueprint process:

Take this 30-second quiz (no grading, promise).

If you nod “yes” to 3 or more, we’re probably a perfect fit.

I’m planning a reno (or already mid-project) and feel overwhelmed by all the decisions.
I’ve just moved into a new home and want to avoid wasting money on disconnected, one-off purchases.
I love a few different styles and need help making it all work in my home.
My life is full (kids, work, chaos) and I need my space to function as well as it looks.
I’ve made design mistakes in the past and this time, I want a strategy, not just trends.
I want a plan that reflects how I live, not just a pretty Pinterest board.
I’m ready to make informed decisions - I just need a clear starting point.

🤔 Still thinking?

Here’s when The Home Blueprint might not be the right fit:

🚫 You’re looking for a quick shopping list and don’t want to think about lifestyle.
🚫 You want someone to do all the work while you stay hands-off.
🚫 You’re focused on one single room, not the big picture.
🚫 You’d rather keep collecting ideas than commit to a design direction.

 FAQs about the Home Blueprint

  • You’ll get a two-hour in-home consultation, a professional lifestyle review, a personalized floorplan sketch of up to 3 areas, a cohesive colour palette, a design style summary, and room-by-room recommendations for zoning, lighting, storage, and large furniture layout. It’s the strategy behind every design decision you’ll make moving forward.

  • Not at all. The Home Blueprint is a custom, strategic tool grounded in how you actually live. Pretty pictures don’t solve layout issues - this plan does.

  • Yes! It's designed to save you money by helping you avoid costly mistakes, misaligned purchases, and decision fatigue. Think of it as your roadmap before you invest in any major pieces or renovations.

  • That’s exactly what The Home Blueprint helps you uncover. Through the lifestyle questionnaire and consultation, we’ll clarify what works for you - not just what looks good on Instagram.

  • While we’ll absolutely touch on specific rooms, The Blueprint is designed to create flow and alignment across your whole home. If you’re only looking to redecorate one space with no consideration for the rest, this might not be the best fit.

  • Not in this package. Instead, I provide clear direction on what to look for—like dimensions, materials, style categories, and placement - so you can shop confidently and avoid expensive missteps.

  • You should allocate a good week to complete the questionnaire (which typically takes about 3-4 hours but you will want to take your time, leave and come back to it, chat with your family, observe your habits, etc.)  From the time you submit your questionnaire, we’ll schedule your in-home session within 1–2 weeks. Your full Home Blueprint document will be delivered within 15–20 business days after your consultation.

  • Design evolves, and that’s okay. Your Blueprint includes up to 2 rounds of revisions to make sure it feels fully aligned and actionable.

  • Yes! It's an ideal time to create your Home Blueprint - before you start making layout, cabinetry, or lighting decisions. It ensures your new build reflects how you'll live in the space.

  • Perfect. The Blueprint can help guide those conversations and ensure every design decision supports your goals and lifestyle- before walls go up or fixtures go in.

  • Not quite. This isn’t a full-service design package - it’s a strategic foundation that helps you (or any designer or contractor you hire) make aligned, efficient choices.

  • Absolutely. Clients can use The Home Blueprint as their first step, then book design consultations, sourcing packages, or styling sessions as their project evolves.

  • Actually, it’s designed to do the opposite. You’ll finally get all your ideas, worries, and decisions out of your head and into a plan. You should expect to feel a huge sense of relief and clarity after completing it.

  • The Blueprint prevents rushed, isolated decisions by looking at the full picture: your lifestyle, space, and priorities. It’s not just another quick fix - it’s a lasting foundation.

  • If you’ve ever bought the wrong sofa, painted a room twice, or lived with a layout that just doesn’t work, you already know how costly guesswork can be. The Home Blueprint is a one-time investment that helps you design with clarity - for every room, project, and purchase going forward.

Most people think they have to choose between doing it alone (and hoping for the best) or hiring a full-service designer for thousands.

But The Home Blueprint gives you the best of both worlds.

You’ll walk away with a custom, professional plan—tailored to your style, space, and lifestyle—that you can leverage as time & budget permit, for a fraction of what you'd pay for full-service design.

 No endless shopping. No second-guessing. No expensive do-overs.

It's the most economical, efficient, and confidence-boosting way to get the beautiful, functional home you want.

This is a design done smarter—because it's rooted in you.

Because The Home Blueprint is a deeply personalized, high-touch service, I only take a small number of clients each month.

That means you can’t just bookmark this and circle back in a few weeks.

 When my calendar is full, it’s full.

If your home is calling out for clarity, function, and beauty - this is your sign to start now.
