THE Interior Design JOURNEY

I love each part of the process, dedicating the time and attention needed to ensure your finished interior is beautifully tailored to you.

OUR FIRST CONVERSATION
Every great design starts with that first conversation. Whether meeting you in your home or over a coffee if we’re working from plans, I love the opportunity to discuss your ideas, style, and what you want the brief to achieve.
We will walk through my process and discuss the support I can offer. Following this and before we start, you will receive a design proposal outlining the scope of work and any initial fees.
bringing your DESIGIN to life
Now for the exciting part, creating your initial design!
With a background in textile design, I often start with fabrics because, for me, that is where the magic begins! I am passionate about exploring colour, pattern, and scale to form the foundation of your new interior.
From there, I sketch layouts, refine furniture placement, and explore lighting styles to bring everything together.
presentating your design
This is where we will explore your bespoke design using mood boards, fabric samples, and images so you can visualise your finished interior.
It’s the moment to refine the details, finalise options, and ensure everything aligns with your brief. We will fine-tune the design ensuring it is not only stylish and elegant but also comfortable and practical.
it’s all in the detail
As you enjoy exploring samples and finishes at home, I make any tweaks to the design based on your feedback.
Whether this is selecting the perfect lampshade colour or choosing the contrast piping for your sofa, these thoughtful touches make your interior personal and define the space.
You can relax as I handle all coordination with my trusted suppliers and fitters, providing a detailed design and project estimate that saves you both time and unnecessary expense.
stress-free PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Bringing your dream interior to life isn’t only about impeccable design, it’s about flawless project delivery. That’s where I come in, it’s an essential part of my role.
From ordering bespoke furniture to coordinating with tradespeople, attending site meetings and finalising a decorating brief, I take great pride in managing every step.
With my friendly hands-on approach, expertise and attention to detail, you can be confident that your installation will be smooth, organised, and stress-free.
“I have worked with Nicola on several occasions now. I think Nicola is quite simply the best Interior Designer I’ve worked with. She has the ability to do much more than take a brief, translating it into a scheme that reflects my taste, personality and budget. Once I have signed the scheme off, Nicola makes it happen in an organised and timely manner; she is the consummate professional with a delightful and straightforward approach“
