“Designer Whitney Leigh Morris makes small-scale living look impossibly chic. Every square inch of her space is tastefully curated.”
- Architectural Digest
“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
“Morris captures our hearts with her creative spirit and smart tips for going bold and beautiful.”

“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.”
- Justina Blakeney
“As climate change continues to impact the way we live, Whitney believes small spaces can work spectacularly for a variety of family structures with different income levels.”
