I received an Idea Session! This was the perfect aid for me. Jessica was so helpful with my new apartment. I have no clue how to make the best of space. I wanted my living room to feel open and spacious. She helped me place my mirrors and furniture - now it makes the most sense! I have 2 couches but the living room still feels so open!! I wasn't sure what to do with a dark accent wall in the bedroom - but she helped me to see how cool it can really look and how to add pieces to bring light to the bedroom! I appreciate that she definitely has good taste and style of her own- but she was able to detect my personal style and help me fulfill what I imagined. All that and what a bargain hunter! If you ever want to hunt down a good deal- Jessica's up for the challenge. read more

This was my first time having an interior design session and I was so pleased with how it went! I have a few different limitations as far as how much I can change about my space, my budget, work capacity, etc., and Jessica was able to work within all of them to make practical suggestions that would make a meaningful different to how my space looks and feels. She was upbeat and excited to do the work, and her knowledge and passion really shined through. Jessica made interior design a lot more approachable and it helped me realize that it's not just for people looking to completely redo an entire house, but can even help with small things like deciding where in the room to put a piece of furniture, what colors to choose based on the type of light that comes in, and more. I feel empowered and excited to make the changes we discussed to my space! read more

I hired Jessy Leyva for a full bedroom makeover, and it was one of the best decisions I've made. From idea boards and paint selection to furniture shopping, joint accessory trips, and final setup, she guided the entire process seamlessly. Jessy works independently but keeps you involved and informed. Our first session was eye-opening--she used a fun questionnaire and visual prompts to help uncover my true design preferences, even ones I hadn't realized myself. Throughout the project, she presented 2-3 curated options at each stage, which was perfect for someone like me who gets overwhelmed by too many choices. She asked early on how involved I wanted to be, and in my case, I chose the full experience. Jessy always respected my opinions while offering clear, professional advice. Ultimately, the final decisions were mine--but better, because she helped me go beyond what I thought I wanted. (For example, she gently steered me away from lilac walls and butterflies, helping me embrace bold colors and more grown-up elements--and she was right!) The end result was better than I imagined: a beautiful, clean, functional, and personal space that became my happy place. Even after I moved out, the bold berry walls and gold accents still bring me joy when I remember that room. I absolutely recommend Jessy. She's talented, intuitive, efficient, and genuinely cares about creating spaces that feel like home. read more

Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I hired her for both design and procurement services, and we were thoroughly impressed. She's highly knowledgeable in all aspects of interior decorating and did an exceptional job understanding and translating our design preferences into a space we love. We couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Make It Home Interior Decorating. read more

I have loved working with Jessica! With Covid, I am limiting persons in my home and she was able to accommodate me through zoom sessions based on my availability. Also, since my budget was on the low end, she was able to help me with an economical design for several rooms in my home with classic and timeless style! Jessica was able to provide detailed guidance in changing my layouts, which alone made a world of a difference, incorporate my favorite pieces that I own and also helped with shopping for other items to complete the rooms. She also had the patience to work indecisive persons like my son, who's room she helped transform. Lastly, I can count on Jessica to assist with shopping help or just advise on how to proceed! She is a wonder to work with. read more

Met with Jessica for an "Idea Session" and it was very informative and fun! Jessica is so easy to work with. She is very thorough and works with what you have and within your budget. Gets you to think out of the box to make your space useful, fun and something you will have fun shopping for. She even shows you visually what she means so when you start shopping you know what your looking for and she gives recommendations on where to purchase as well. I got to work with Jessica because a colleague recommended her. Hands down I will recommend her as well! You will not be disappointed. I already started shopping the ideas we discussed and I'm so excited and eager to get it done. Thank you Jessica! O read more

This was truly the best thing I've ever done to make my life better. When I found Jessica I had recently relocated from Los Angeles to Miami. My rental home was simple and empty but mostly blah. She worked with my budget to transform my home into something I had only seen on HDTV or in magazines. She is friendly, honest, trustworthy, reliable, flexible, hardworking and creative. I would recommend her services to anyone, any budget, any vision or goal. She is Miami's decorating gem. Use her services and you will not be disappointed. read more

See all

We have an impossible room to decorate, or so we thought. Jessica was amazing!! She took a room with that had a 20 ft wall on one side and an 8 ft wall on the other, then transformed it into my favorite room of the house!! Yet, believe it or not, this is not what impressed me the most. Her shopping ability is just as amazing as her ideas!!! This woman shops. She will find things and ideas you like and find them at 50 to 75% less than where any normal human would find them. Also, she takes into account your ideas and the ideas of your spouse, which sometimes can lead to war in most households. Amazing experience overall!!!! read more

Jessica was terrific! I did the idea session and it really helped me to choose a color and design theme for the room, know what dimensions and types of furniture to buy and get motivated to get it done. read more

Jessica was prompt with response, gracious and delightful, before I even met her face to face. Needing consultation for paint selection and furniture placement, Jessica sussed out my style right away and gave me invaluable advice, since I'll be living with these choices for a long time. I'm glad I chose the professional consult in the midst of my refurbishment project. I highly recommend Jessica and will likely call her again. read more

What a relief it is to let someone take the lead who can take my likes and dislikes and do all the footwork to put a room together. At first, I was thinking we wouldn't finish the nursery until she was like 3 months old, but now, having Jessica to help me along, it feels really exciting to know that it will come together and be FINISHED before she is even here!! I tend to be very indecisive when shopping, which leads to my just giving up. But Jessica is there to make the decisions and move this project forward to completion. Very much worth her fee. Don't underestimate her value!! Maybe I'll hire Make It Home for my bedroom too!!!! =D read more

Greatest most affordable interior decorating service you can ever find. Talking about vision, all I gave her to work with was the measurements and pictures of my girls' bedrooms and she took it from there. At that time, she was working out of Brooklyn, NY but her dedication and attention to detail besides her specific instructions and shopping list, made my project a breeze. So save yourself a lot of time and guessing, call her, you will be glad you did. read more

We also had a little session where we put in practice what we learned and it's stuff that will stick because she uses a lot of visuals which help w remembering what to do. Totally would take another class with her! read more

I could describe my old room as "college-dorm disaster" equipped with outdated books and obsolete notes on a busted up bulky shelf and desk. The idea for my room was simple: I would like to imagine myself sipping coffee and putting my feet up in my fabulous library-esque rustic studio apartment in Manhattan. Make It Home captured my vision and executed it beautifully, while remaining practical and economical; never sacrificing style. She brought NY to me, and now I can sip coffee in my room in style. Thanks Jess! read more
