Creating Timeless, Collected Interiors with Ashley Leavitt | Gold & Oak Design Co.

What makes a home feel truly personal, like it evolved over time rather than being decorated all at once? In this episode of Modern Home Mastermind with beSpoke Brokers, Shawna Glazier and Brittainy Williamson sit down with Ashley Leavitt, founder and principal designer of Gold & Oak Design Co., to talk about creating interiors that feel storied, soulful, and deeply connected to the people who live in them. Ashley shares how she gets to know her clients and translates their stories, travels, lifestyles, and personal tastes into highly tailored spaces. From incorporating antiques and meaningful objects to selecting natural materials, architectural lighting, custom millwork, tile, cabinetry, and stone, Ashley explains how the smallest details can make a home feel uniquely its own. The conversation also explores several of Ashley's projects, including an expansive 8,000+ square-foot custom home in Gilbert, luxury remodels in Gilbert and Mesa, a modern content room, and a commercial endodontist office in North Scottsdale. You'll also hear Ashley's approach to designing around challenging spaces, creating timeless interiors that won't be dictated by trends, and why communication between the homeowner and designer is so important.
