Carol-Anne Leyden Director CA Design

Award-winning owner of CA Design stores, e-commerce brand, and CA Design Consultancy, Carol-Anne is now a sought-after name in interiors in Ireland. Carol-Anne’s namesake stores and design studio have become a household name in Ireland, regularly featuring in magazines, newspapers and on RTE’s celebrated Room to Improve series. What put her name on the map, is her wealth of knowledge about design, her Mid-Century-style collections, designed in collaboration with furniture designers, as well as many prestigious commercial projects working alongside many of the leading lights in Irish Architecture. Combine all this with the distinctive aesthetic you’ll find at CA Design, driven by Carol-Anne’s ‘new modern’ approach - a natural affinity with design classics mixed with edgy, modern pieces.

Carol-Anne heads up the CA Design team, a fusion of interior designers, furniture creators and space creators, serving everyone from the passer-by who wants a cool candle to add to their space to residential projects to large-scale commercial spaces. This powerhouse of a design studio creates experiences, not just spaces, listening and translating customers’ and clients’ visions into something extraordinary.

Since winning the IMAGE magazine Creative Businesswoman of The Year’ award in 2019, Carol-Anne has been busy growing the business, adding European brands to the mix, and working to bring a unique selection of furniture and brands to Ireland, many of which are exclusive to CA Design.

 
 


 
 
 

“Every piece of furniture from CA Design should almost stop you in your tracks – and that’s our aim – to offer the best design, with a luxury edge, at good price points. Every carefully considered and tightly edited collection offers the customer something a little bit different to what’s already in the interiors market.”
