Meet Leah

Three things stand out about Leah Williams’ (@leahwilliams_) home: it feels timeless, practical, and comfortable. Indeed, Leah herself says that she chose our solid walnut Otto dining table for its timeless design and the Henrik dining chairs for their comfy leather seats – very important factors when you’ve got three busy kids and need quality furniture that’s built to last.

Which room in your home was your favourite to create?

It’d have to be the dining room and living room. It’s where we spend so much time together, whether that’s sitting down to dinner, or hanging out on the sofa. I love the blend of practical design with cosy touches, making it a space where we can gather, chat, and spend time as a family. 

How would you describe your design aesthetic?

I’d say my design aesthetic is a mix of relaxed, coastal vibes with a bit of Scandinavian simplicity and some retro elements thrown in. I love spaces that feel light, airy, and inviting – nothing too over-the-top. Clean lines, natural textures, and a neutral palette with pops of colour are my go-to. It’s all about creating a space that feels calm and timeless, yet lived in.

How do you incorporate sustainable and Scandinavian-inspired design choices into your home and DIY projects? How does the quality and design influence your choices? 

I’m a big fan of timeless, well-made pieces that you can love for years – which is why I gravitate toward Scandinavian-inspired designs. I love that IconByDesign focuses on sustainability and quality; with kids around, you need things that are built to last.

Finally, how does coastal living inspire your home design choices, and how do timeless, sustainable IconByDesign pieces fit into this?

Coastal living is all about easy going vibes for me – light, breezy spaces that make you feel like you’re on holiday, even when you're at home. We love just spending time together outdoors, whether that’s at the beach or in our backyard at home. IconByDesign’s pieces are perfect for that. They’re beautifully made, with that clean, Scandinavian aesthetic that blends seamlessly into a coastal-inspired space.
