ABOUT THE homes with soul APPROACH

Nicci Tong, Interior Designer, Homes with Soul

I have always been inspired by seeing my clients’ reactions as we transform their spaces into ones they love. Part of the joy comes from helping people move through change, creating homes that support their life and feel personal to them.

Using my unique Homes with Soul approach, I can support you to refresh your home with affordable and meaningful changes by using what you have and buying only what you need - to create a home you love.

MY BACKGROUND

I realised way back in 2002 that I had a knack for seeing unrealised potential in interior spaces, and a passion for helping people to make good use of things they already had. By rearranging their spaces, I was helping people to fall back in love with their homes.

Studying interior design and decorating moved me more towards helping people invest in their homes, but I continued to be drawn towards reuse of pieces they already owned and loved. This helped me to refresh their home interiors in a way that reflected their personal style, and reduced unnecessary spend.

It is this resourcefulness and my passion for helping people move forward, that has led me to develop the Homes with Soul approach - giving people the inspiration, clarity and momentum to progress their decorating ideas with confidence.

More recently, I have been experimenting with ways to share my passion and interior design knowledge with a wider range of people.

This has led me to offer Home Consultations giving people access to expert design advice as and when needed - to help them navigate their decorating decisions (often saving thousands of dollars in a single consultation).

I also host periodic Decorating Workshops for DIY non-designers in my home (Brooklyn, Wellington, NZ) where I demonstrate easy to understand design principles that can be applied by anyone wanting to improve the way their homes look and feel.

My Interior Design Services provide wrap-around support for people wanting to refresh and update their home interiors. Working together we transform their homes, often leading to a greater sense of wellbeing and positive life changes. Together we refresh their spaces, using a combination of new pieces and pieces they already own and love. It all starts with understanding what changes they want to see, and what is most important to them.
