‘Nicola seamlessly blends creativity and practicality. She has a great eye and real insider knowledge. She helped me source things I would never have otherwise found, and was extremely intuitive in terms of understanding what we were looking for. She’s also a natural problem solver which is essential on any project. Working with her was effortless and fun and I hope we can do more together in the future.’

‘Nicola was a huge help at the early stages of our renovation and guided me through the process of hiring an architect and finding a builder.  She advised on architectural drawings and lighting plans and helped me get to grips with the whole renovation process which was very new to me and somewhat daunting.  Nicola is very professional, has a great eye and an address book full of useful suppliers  We loved working with her.’

‘We began our project thinking I would manage it all and know what I was doing. I was very wrong! Within a few days, I felt exhausted and so out of my depth when I received all the costs back from the builders and architects. I had no idea what was the 'norm' and found it impossible to know what we should be paying. Thank God a friend recommended we speak to Nicola. Immediately she was able to help sift through all the builders' quotes and work with our architect to find the right option. Choosing the right builder saved us a fortune!

She then coordinated the entire process up until work actually began with terrifying efficiency! Nothing was too much trouble and I know she was doing a huge amount in the background without needing to involve my time. I cannot tell you how reassuring it was to have her in control, acting as our go-between and making sure the endless changes we made during planning were explained to the architect and builders so everyone was kept up to speed.

Nicola saved us so much time and a huge amount of money with her planning and advice. Her flexible service is unbelievably cost-effective and most important of all, she is a wonderful person to work with! Thank you!’

‘Amazing communication skills and an ability to bring a team together and get the very best out of people, teamed with incredible organisational skills, a brilliant eye for detail and excellent build knowledge make Nicola the very best at what she does.  

An excellent eye for design, scale and architectural integrity give Nicola that extra string to her bow that most project managers lack. 

On our country house project, as well as project managing the build, Nicola worked alongside me on all aspects of the interior design and undertook all the roles that an interior designer would fulfil – initial concept image presentations, furniture layouts, sourcing of all architectural, soft finishes and furniture. Her sourcing lists are excellent and her product knowledge on kitchens, bathrooms, floor finishes etc are as good as any top interior designer. 

I feel very lucky to have had Nicola as part of my team and cannot recommend her highly enough. Hugely capable, totally level headed, incredibly talented and meticulously organised – she has the ability to make big and small projects the inspiring and exciting experiences that they so often aren’t.

‘Nicola has a great eye and insider knowledge on where to source and create the most wonderful things that helped me to finish off my home. She took my brief and instantly understood my style, and then worked with me over the course of several months to renovate one bathroom, our kitchen and kit out the rest of the house with various furniture and fabrics. She was brilliant as not only did she know how to translate what I was looking for into a reality, but she also suggested other ideas that I certainly wouldn't have thought of, and had such clever suggestions on how to achieve a look or style inexpensively - especially in our kitchen. Her help was unbelievably valuable and she was a complete joy to work with.’

’I've always had quite a clear idea of what I like (and don't like!), and therefore had never considered needing an interior designer to help me when doing up various parts of our country house. However, I have often felt totally at sea when trying to find various things I needed for my home and I really needed help in buying all the items and managing all the various design processes - having curtains made up and other bits and pieces of for example. Nicola was referred to me by a friend who had used her and her service was a perfect fit for me. She introduced me to excellent suppliers, suggested a brilliant upholsterer (who is fantastic value!) and managed everything whilst keeping me updated.’
