Bring your Design Direction to life.
home clarity companion
Professional support to help you make confident decisions that transform your home, one room at a time.
Your Home Clarity Plan gives you the clarity and direction to move forward with confidence. How you bring it to life is up to you — you can take your Plan and implement it yourself, or have me alongside you to provide professional judgement when you want reassurance, another perspective or help making a decision.
The Home Clarity Companion gives you two ways to work with me: light-touch professional guidance when you need it, or more active involvement as we work through key decisions together. In either case, you remain in control of purchasing and implementation.
You've got the direction. Now you're ready to bring it to life.

Three months of professional support, with the flexibility to bring questions and decisions as they arise.
I generally recommend focusing on one room or defined area at a time so your decisions remain cohesive and manageable - but how you choose to use the time is up to you.
My recommendations are based on what is right for your home, your priorities and your budget — not on what I can sell you. You pay for my design expertise directly, so I'm free to recommend keeping what you already have, spending less where it makes sense, or investing more where it will genuinely make a difference.
“We wanted to update the wall colours throughout our apartment. Nicci’s assessment of what would work in our space and the flow from one room to another was spot on. I also loved that she brought her recommendations for curtain fabric to us so the final choice was really easy.”
Margaret Trodahl, Wellington
Don’t need ongoing support?
You don't have to choose a Companion.
If you prefer professional judgement as and when you need it, you can book a Home Clarity Check-in — a focused opportunity to get my perspective on the questions, options and decisions you're working through.
$500 - virtual or in person.
Things you might be wondering.
-
Yes.
The Home Clarity Plan establishes the whole-home Design Direction that your Companion builds on. The Companion then takes that direction into the specific decisions involved in bringing a room or defined area to life.
This means we don't start the design process again — we use the clarity you've already created and focus on putting it into practice.
-
Both give you access to professional design judgement. The difference is how actively we work together.
Guided is for when you're happy to implement things yourself but want an experienced designer in your corner when decisions arise. Support is predominantly through messaging.
Partnered gives you more active involvement in the design process, including collaborative decision-making and up to three in-person design sessions where they add the most value.
You remain responsible for purchasing and implementation with both options.
-
Not necessarily.
Your Companion gives you professional support for up to three months, and you can bring questions and decisions to me as they arise.I generally recommend focusing on one room or defined area at a time, so decisions remain cohesive and manageable. Once you've made the key decisions for that space, you can choose whether to get advice on another space during the same Companion period.
-
That's exactly how the Companion is designed to work.
You don't need to use me for every step. Bring me the decisions where professional judgement would add value — whether that's assessing a colour, comparing furniture options, refining a layout or deciding where to invest.
The aim is to help you make better, more confident decisions, not to take over the process.
-
No.
You remain responsible for purchasing and implementation. My role is to provide independent professional design advice and help you make decisions that are right for your home, priorities and budget.
I don't receive product commission or supplier margin, so my recommendations aren't influenced by what I can sell you.
-
Absolutely.
Guided support is delivered via WhatsApp, so you can access it from anywhere. Partnered support can be delivered virtually or in person and includes up to three design sessions, used where they add the most value. These might be used for paint colour confirmation, fabric selections or room layout for example.
-
That's okay.
The Companion isn't dependent on the physical room being finished within the three-month period. It's complete when the key design decisions have been made and you have the clarity to implement them at a timeframe that works for you.
-
Absolutely.
Each Companion focuses on a defined area and has a clear beginning and end. When you're ready to tackle another space, you can choose another Companion.
