Authentic, Beautiful Spaces Have the Power to Transform Our Lives
At the heart of Leona Rose is a remarkable team that brings every project to life. We function as a closely-knit family of detail-driven creatives who share a profound appreciation for curating spaces with thoughtfulness and care.
Design Philosophy
At the heart of our design philosophy is the belief that aesthetics hold the key to forging emotional connections with spaces. We understand that the beauty and visual harmony of an environment profoundly influence how we feel, create memories, and interact with the world around us. For us, design begins with creating spaces that captivate the senses and evoke powerful emotional responses.
However, we also recognize that true design goes beyond surface appeal. While the initial allure of a space lies in its aesthetic charm, it is the thoughtful integration of functionality that ensures a lasting and meaningful experience. We strive to balance beauty with purpose, creating environments that are not only visual stunning but also practical and enriching in everyday life.
By blending aesthetic elegance with usability, we craft spaces that both inspire and support the routines and rituals that make life more fulfilling. With every project, we aim to create designs that are as functional as they are beautiful – spaces that resonate emotionally and enhance your living experience.
Kelly McGauley
Owner, Designer
Since 1992, Kelly McGauley, the visionary behind Leona Rose, has translated client aspirations into
realities, spanning the gamut of home styles-from modern to traditional, contemporary to formal. Her hallmark lies in her distinctive style, elegance, and adeptness in crafting captivating spaces and experiences.
Kelly’s design philosophy revolves around the idea that you need to curate for the feel and soul of the home.
We met Kelly almost 20 years ago to help us with our dream home. Kelly
was able to pinpoint both our style and our wants and wishes, and execute a beautifully decorated home that was not only jaw-dropping, but also warm and comfortable and most of all, timeless. Since then, Kelly has done two lake homes for us, our son’s home, and updated our main home again 14 years later. All with very different styles, and that is what makes her so special. We met with her just a few times on each home and trusted her to make us a beautiful timeless home. We are always in awe of what she creates.

El Campo, TX
We have had the good fortune of using Kelly and her team for both of our homes now. They were both very different by intention. One being more rustic, whereas the other more Spanish modern. We have been impressed with the attention that was paid to what we asked for – the style, price points, and functions – and then Kelly used her creative genius to make these homes feel not only like pieces of art but also welcoming and peaceful. We recommend Leona Rose wholeheartedly and without reservation!

Leona Rose took the time to really know us and how we would use our new space. When we had strong preferences: Leona Rose built from our basis. When we were less sure: Leona Rose offered guidance and options. When we were passionate about elements that didn’t quite fit: Leona Rose provided feedback and alternatives. Some of those ideas “evolved” and others became beloved quirks. When I considered the wide variety of designs done by Leona Rose, the common element was a certain “soulfulness” that we absolutely love!
