“Designer Whitney Leigh Morris makes small-scale living look impossibly chic. Every square inch of her space is tastefully curated.”

About
Whitney Leigh Morris is a small and “rightsized” space designer, consultant, blogger and author. A firm believer that you don't need to "live large" to live beautifully, Morris uses her channels to share tips and ideas geared towards helping individuals, couples, and families live comfortably and contentedly in — and with— a smaller footprint. The intention behind her work is to embolden a collective shift away from the “bigger is better” mentality that contributes to hyper-consumerism, allowing us clearer access to a greener and more equal path forward. Morris also shares her expertise via a diverse array of news and editorial outlets, speaking engagements, workshops, video appearances, and her book: Small Space Style: Because You Don’t Need to Live Large to Live Beautifully. Whitney is on the board of The RightWay Foundation, an LA-based non-profit. Whitney is a professional member of the Good Future Design Alliance.

“Whitney's eye for detail and her spirit of beauty creates a space that fills the visitor with warmth and welcome. I am deeply envious of her ability to curate aesthetically and tactically satisfying environments. I have tried to emulate this but trust me it is a rare talent. She is a rare talent.”
- Amy Adams

“Whitney has an incredible design sensibility. Visiting her home is akin to visiting a botanical garden: it is at once carefree but carefully curated, there is an abundance of beauty in every tiny detail, but the overall design (the flow, the scale, the colors, the rhythms) are so on point they seem borderline scientific. But beyond her envious eye for design and brain for puzzle-like small-space solutions, it's Whitney's heart that will draw you to her. Her optimism, humility and good vibes are seriously infectious.”
