Leanne Ford Biography
Leanne Ford is an American interior designer and television personality known for her signature white-on-white aesthetic and her approach to accessible and personal home design. Before transitioning to interior design, Ford spent a decade in the fashion industry. She gained national recognition after restoring and redesigning a turn-of-the-century schoolhouse in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, working alongside her brother Steve Ford, a contractor and carpenter. Their transformation of a schoolhouse attic into a master bath was featured in Country Living and highlighted in design books, launching Ford's career in the interior design industry.
Ford's television career includes co-hosting HGTV's "Restored by the Fords" with her brother, where they renovated older Pittsburgh-area homes with custom designs. The siblings also starred in "Home Again With the Fords," a series focused on helping people return to their childhood homes by updating them while honoring their history. Ford has appeared in other HGTV series, including "A Very Brady Renovation" and "Rock the Block" Season 1, establishing her as a prominent figure in home renovation television.
Her work has been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, Domino, House Beautiful, and The New York Times. Ford is recognized for her product collaborations with brands including Crate & Barrel, Target, and Loloi Rugs. She co-authored the book "Work in Progress: Unconventional Thoughts on Designing an Extraordinary Life" with Steve Ford, sharing insights from their journey in the design and television industries.
Ford expanded her creative pursuits by launching the magazine FEEL FREE, which has featured notable personalities on its covers. She is also the author of the design book "The Slow Down," which offers readers a look into her Pennsylvania home and encourages a relaxed approach to living. Throughout her work in interior design, television, publishing, and product development, Ford emphasizes that effective design is rooted in authenticity and creative freedom.
