ABOUT HEATHER | DESIGNS BY HEATHER

You’ve been dreaming about a home that finally feels like you, a space that’s warm, beautiful, and functional, where every detail feels intentional and effortless.

​

You’ve saved the Pinterest boards, watched the design shows, and gathered ideas for years. But between the endless choices, timelines, and decisions, actually bringing it all together can feel overwhelming.

​

That’s where I come in.

​

I’m Heather West, founder and principal designer of Designs by Heather, based in Saint Johns, Florida and serving clients across the Jacksonville area and beyond. I help discerning homeowners reimagine their spaces through thoughtful, full-service design that feels deeply personal and completely livable.

​

My Philosophy

At Designs by Heather, we believe great design starts with you.

​

Your home should tell your story; where you’ve been, what you love, and the life you’re building now. It’s about crafting spaces that are timeless and welcoming, not trendy or overdone. Spaces that reflect your style while honoring how you truly live.

​

Our work blends creativity, integrity, and heart, an approach that ensures every detail feels intentional and every room feels like it belongs to you.

​

I take the time to truly understand my clients; how they live, what inspires them, and what home means to them. The result? Interiors that feel elevated but never stuffy, comfortable but refined, and layered with personality and purpose.

​

How We Work

Design is as much about process as it is about beauty. My goal is to make your experience seamless, transparent, and inspiring from start to finish.

​

From the first consultation to the final installation, I handle the details, so you can focus on enjoying the transformation. My clients often say that what they value most isn’t just the design itself, but the relief of knowing someone is managing it all with care and precision.

​

Whether it’s a full renovation, a single-room refresh, or virtual design guidance, every project receives the same thoughtful attention to detail and creative direction.

​

A Little About Me

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and (on a rare occasion) our two kids, traveling, or cooking something delicious (preferably while our fat white cat supervises). See I too am becoming an empty nester! I have one in college and one just about to be, so I get that feeling of what do we do now? "Let's refresh the home!" or "Let's downsize!" These feelings are all too real. And either creating that next home into a place of new memories or reviving the old home into the place the kids come back to is what this chapter is craving. 

​

Some areas that I draw inspiration from are: travel, natural textures, architecture, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments; those layered details that make a house truly feel like home.

​

Why I Do What I Do

For me, design isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating spaces that feel effortless, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

​

I love helping my clients rediscover their homes, turning what once felt dated, chaotic, or taking those brand new homes that are blank canvas's into spaces that feel inspired and intentional. Spaces that invite people in, spark conversation, and become the backdrop for years of memories to come.

​

Because at the end of the day, home isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it makes you feel.
