“We shape our homes; thereafter they shape us.” – Winston Churchill

Our homes are a reflection of our philosophy. They are a personal artistic expression of who we are and distinctly reflect the embodiment of our character and our heritage — our innate persona. Nicole wholeheartedly embraces the design process with her clients because she is passionate about collaboration. During the process, this partnership lays the foundation of being able to extrapolate a fusion of aesthetic sensibility and their lifestyle.

Reflecting the genuine heart of a home requires connecting every aspect of it’s past and present. Ranging from classical to transitional, Nicole strives to create a timeless space that reflects the client’s unique character and personality. Equally as important, a space must also connect it with the future with accents of modern utilitarianism. As an interior renovation designer, Nicole believes that design should genuinely center around creating an equivocal balance of function and style.

What our clients say

Tina Kirby

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience using Nicole for my home renovation. Free time is a challenge for me, and I needed to lean on Nicole to make some important design decisions throughout the project. From the start, she took the time to get to know me and to understand my priorities. Nicole used that information to provide meaningful advice and to select finishes that were a true reflection of my personal style. She isn’t afraid to share her opinions, she’s hugely resourceful and practical, and she has impeccable taste and attention to detail. I’ve received a number of compliments on the renovation, but mostly that the end result feels and looks like me. I can’t think of a better compliment for a designer than to create a home environment for a client that compliments his or her character. I highly recommend Nicole!

Robert Stauble

Being from another country I spend a lot of time in Houston for business and purchased a Loft. Nicole designed a Turn Key Pied-à-terre with attention to every detail. In addition to carefuliy selected furniture and Art the kitchen was stocked with lovely dishes. The bathrooms with the finest linens & towels. Her work and professionalism is top notch and I would gladly work with her again.

David Osorio

Nicole did the interior design for our new home. Nicole has amazing taste and an excellent sense for what will work in a space. She clearly considered our preferences in everything she proposed, but also brought many unique ideas of her own. Her experience with local upholsterers, carpenters and suppliers was very helpful to keep some 'realism' when budgeting and planning, as well as to ensure we got quality items done within a reasonable timeframe.
