About
Leaf Ives is based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and has been creating beautiful interiors across the country for more than 15 years.
Coming from a long line of artists and artisans, Leaf grew up understanding that the world was something to be looked at. So she traveled, training her eye on it while living in Boston, London, Florence, and Jackson Hole, followed by ten years in Bermuda — where her mother's family has lived for generations and where her own children spent their earliest years. Her Bermudian heritage left her with an English sensibility about living well, a regard for hospitality and for the small rituals that comprise it. She has built her career designing houses around those rituals.
Drawing on her foundations in fine art and event design, she approaches each space with a sensitivity to beauty, proportion and comfort. Her style balances contemporary aesthetics with enduring elegance, but above all, she designs interiors that are deeply personal and livable for her clients.
Leaf's current projects include ___, ___, and ___. Follow her at @leafivesinteriors to see pictures of her work and travels.

Kind Words from Clients
“We knew we wanted the interior design to feel as intentional as the structure itself, and we also knew we needed someone who could balance functionality with artistry. It was important for the interior rooms to feel cozy, grounded, a little upscale but very rooted in place. Leaf brought a collaborative spirit that made the process feel joyful rather than overwhelming.”
