Profile

Mary Leslie formed her own company in 1996. She graduated from the Inchbald School of Design in 1980 and has been involved in all aspects of Interior Design ever since, including 7½ years running Nina Campbell’s Interior Design Department.
 
Residential Design is Mary’s speciality. She welcomes opportunities to work on anything from decorating one room to the whole house, and enjoys being involved in both refurbishment and new build projects. Her expertise means she is able to devise imaginative, harmonious solutions which suit her clients’ lifestyles from the simplest interior to the most extravagant installation.
 
Mary is a creative Interior Designer with an approachable, practical attitude. She believes in listening carefully to her clients and values their views. Mary encourages clients to be involved as much or as little as they wish. She happily moves between traditional and contemporary styles, and loves working with colour whether that means vibrant patterns or muted monochromes. She has a reputation for resolving challenging situations particularly where clients have had an unfortunate experience with other designers or builders. She expects a high standard of workmanship and calls upon a skilled team of consultants, artisans and tradesmen, many of whom she has known for over 15 years.
 
The majority of her work is in the United Kingdom. However, international commissions have included projects in the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Africa and she will work anywhere within reason.
 

Mary lives in London and loves to spend time in the countryside. She is widely travelled and draws her inspiration from her experiences at home and abroad - from the English Countryside to Chicago or Oman to Peru. Her varied range of clients means that she has learnt how people use their homes in many diverse cultures and lifestyles, giving her a broad understanding of how different people like to live.
