FULL SERVICE INTERIOR DESIGN ACROSS THE SOUTH
Approachable design,
collected room by room.
Full service interior design for homeowners who want a home that feels like them, without managing every decision. Real craftsmanship, curated antiques, and a process you can trust.
You want it done right. You don't want to manage every decision.
You know the room could be so much more. But every choice turns into ten more, and the project you meant to start keeps getting pushed back. Scrolling for ideas only adds noise, with renderings and trends that never look like the real thing once they're in your home.
You don't need more options. You need someone you trust to take it from here.
WHY MAKE PRETTY
That's what our favorite clients tell us, and it's the trust we work every day to earn. We meet you where you are and elevate the style you already have, so the finished space feels like you, not like us. Then we bring it to life with real hands, real pieces and real follow through. Most of our clients start with one room and keep coming back for the next.
Here's the budget.
Go do what you do.
Relationships that grow room by room.
We're with you for the long run, from the first room to the whole home.
Exclusive sourcing.
Real access to antique dealers, plus rugs sourced directly from makers in Turkey and India with custom colors and selections.
Real work, not renderings.
Hands on execution in your actual home, never AI concepts or Instagram only design.
Decisive, effective transformation.
Quality work without endless rounds of revisions.
A vetted team.
Electricians, plumbers, cabinet makers, painters, landscapers and installers already in place.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
We absolutely loved working with Lora Leigh! From start to finish, she made the entire process feel so personalized and enjoyable. She took the time to understand our style and budget, helping us choose beautiful fabrics and materials that complemented our home perfectly. She was incredibly hands-on throughout the entire process, from multiple visits to help us make decisions to being there during installation to ensure everything was just right. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and Lora Leigh was truly a joy to work with! We would highly recommend her!
Melissa and Tony
Lora Leigh gets our highest recommendation! We have worked with other designers in the past, and Lora Leigh has provided the best experience by far. She has a creative eye and an incredible ability to identify what’s truly missing to bring a space together, looking well beyond just colors and furniture. Most importantly, she listens carefully and is always upbeat and fun to work with! She keeps everything organized and moving forward, making the entire process feel easy and enjoyable. Her extensive network of contacts and trusted professionals has also allowed her to help us accomplish far more than we ever expected. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

OUR STORY
The name is the same. The work has grown up.
Make Pretty started the honest way. People saw what we made at pop ups and shows, told us it was pretty, and the name followed. Our growth came from real connection and showing up in person. When things changed, we didn't quit. We rebuilt, kept going, and grew into a full service design company with a trusted team behind every project.
Trust the vision. We'll make it yours.
Serving homeowners across Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and the South, with projects managed in person or remotely.
