Leasa Mensing has been working as an Interior Decor and Fashion stylist in Cape town for the last six years after completing a diploma with the New York Sheffield school of interior design, and doing a course in graphic design and photography.

She has worked locally and internationally for a variety of magazines and on a number of advertising campaigns.

In 2003 she was commissioned by a 6 star hotel in the Seychelles, North Island to work on the island for 2 months as the resident stylist. She was responsible for adding ambience to the existing decor in the 11 villas and public areas, as well as doing all the floral displays. She was also involved in creating the decor for special events such as cocktail parties, beach dinners and champagne breakfasts.

Since returning she has set up her own decor and events consultancy - Co Existence.

Through my years as a stylist I have gained an extensive knowledge of all the shops and suppliers in and around Cape Town and can therefore offer clients a variety of services such as:

* From the most basic level of choosing paint colours and contractors to completing the finishes in a new house

* To using the existing decor in a home and adding accessories, sourcing art and lighting, and using plants and flowers to add style comfort and elegance to a room.

"I feel that interior designed spaces often lack a feeling of warmth as they usually reflect the designers' tastes and don't always incorporate personal items, which the home owner relates to. It is these items that change a house into a home and give it soul".

"I try to utilize the existing decor which I then just dress up This also keeps the costs of redecorating down".

Through years of travelling I have developed a global style which first and foremost is about a relaxed approach to interiors.
My aim is to create rooms that are lived in, that have atmospheres, warmth and soul.
