Where Vision Meets Craft
Inside Lea Yager Designs
Kitchen After Renovation
Lea Yager Designs is redefining the kitchen and bath renovation experience by combining creativity, technical design strategies, and a deeply personal approach. Based in the Richmond and surrounding areas, the company specializes in custom kitchen and bath design, complete with highly realistic 3D renderings and fully custom cabinetry, built here locally in their shop.
With 11 years in the kitchen and bath industry, Lea has always had a passion for creating beautiful spaces. Along with her desire to work with people, Lea places a strong emphasis on education and guidance. She believes that clients should feel informed and empowered before ever hiring a contractor.
“Think of us not only as your kitchen and bath designer, but your advisor and advocate for the project. We help people understand what their expectations should be for reasonable budgets and timelines. Combined with advice on trending ideas versus timeless styles, we hold our clients’ hands through the entire renovation process, so they feel confident every step of the way,” says Lea.
What sets Lea Yager Designs apart from other kitchen and bath companies?
A key part of the company is Lea’s business partner and husband, Brent Yager. With a background and degree in computer-aided design, Brent plays a crucial role in bringing each vision to life. “Lea comes up with the layouts and concepts, and I translate them into detailed 3D renderings and building plans,” Brent explains. “Our goal is to show clients exactly what their space will look like before construction even begins.”
The photorealistic 3D renderings are a cornerstone of the client experience. They’re so realistic people often mistake them for actual photos. Their software can also import clients’ actual selections, such as paint colors, tile, countertops, appliances, and more—so clients can see exactly how everything will look before buying materials. This clarity removes guesswork and gives clients the confidence to make decisions they’ll be happy with, as seen with the photos on this page—from the before kitchen, to the 3D renderings, to the final finished product.
Hand-Crafted Custom Cabinets
Genuine custom cabinetry. Lea Yager Designs takes pride in their custom cabinets. With their shop in Amelia, and not a third-party box distributor, eliminating the middleman helps clients benefit from more competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. They have the flexibility to build virtually anything you can imagine. “Think of your Pinterest page as our catalog—bring us your ideas and photos, and we can build them,” says Lea.
Complimentary interior design guidance is given when clients purchase their cabinets. Lea personally works with clients to refine selections and ensure a cohesive, beautiful result. Her services remove the stress of decision-making and let clients enjoy the process of creating their unique space with professional guidance at no extra cost.
Final Thoughts
At its core, Lea Yager Designs is about more than beautiful spaces—it’s about creating an experience rooted in trust, collaboration, and care. Lea describes her ideal client simply: “Someone who values the process, trusts the guidance, and understands how much we truly care about their happiness.” With that mindset, every project becomes more than a renovation—it becomes a partnership, resulting in spaces that are as functional as they are unforgettable.
