Client Testimonials
Here’s what my clients have shared about working with me, using the Homes with Soul Approach, and the difference it has made to their homes and lives.

Nicci is worth every dollar – and saved me a heap of them as well!
I'd highly recommend her service for her pragmatic and honest approach, and fantastic eye for interior design.
She was able to provide me with honest advice about my grand plans, helping me add value to my home by spending my money wisely. She helped me get a really clear idea of what I wanted to achieve with my home, and then delivered on finding the right items to make it all a reality.
I’m hoping to use her services again in the near future to sort out my back deck! She is a wonderful soul to have around the place, just an all-round legend.

I trusted Nicci... that confidence was not misplaced!
Prior to using Nicci, I had spent a lot of time trying to work out how to refresh the curtains (fading), our carpet (tired) and rather bland paintwork.
I knew about her understanding of colour from a close friend so I trusted Nicci would work out something that worked. That confidence was not misplaced!
Finding a rug that would tie our room together (and that both Graeme and I would like) was impressive. Even more so, was being able to tie in a couple of paintings which our daughter had created over the years. Selecting the colour for the feature wall was an act of faith (never thought I would have a greenish feature wall!)
I appreciate the thought Nicci put into the final dressing of our space. She managed to add softening touches which Graeme nor I would have thought of adding - but which we both really like. I feel the result of all Nicci’s work is that we have an interesting, relaxed space which reflects 2 very different personalities.

Very happy… great final result.
I selected Nicci after interviewing 6 designers. Very happy with her suggestions, her understanding of my tastes, interaction with suppliers, fixed a supplier delivery issue without question, and great final result. Thanks Nicci.

Nicci was a pleasure to work with, making the whole process seamless and stress-free.
Nicci’s “design by your side” approach worked perfectly with my busy schedule. She was incredibly patient and attentive, helping me uncover my personal style while offering her expert guidance. Her ability to listen, understand the very vague brief, and translate it into a vision that feels both stylish and functional was much appreciated.
Nicci was a pleasure to work with, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. With an overall vision now documented, we love that we can make incremental improvements as and when our budget allows.

She gets me and my style.
Nicci has helped me with 3 projects over the past few years. I love working with her - she gets me and my style and helps shape my ideas into a cohesive design that is both beautiful and practical.

A place that we truly feel at home in.
When we started, our home was a bland collection of soul-less white rooms. With Nicci’s amazing help and support, we’ve been able to completely turn it around into a place that we truly feel at home in.
After having lived in rentals for so long, we had forgotten what it is like to live in a space that you can truly call your own.

Nicci has transformed our home.
She worked her magic on an old room and turned it into a beautiful library. She also transformed an office into a beautiful space that I enjoy working in.
She is clever at working the space you have and with the items you already own. She worked with me to create something that feels me. I highly recommend Homes with Soul.

She listened to our ‘needs’ and offered options.
Nicci worked alongside us in partnership to co-create a timeless look that we both love. Her approach is organic, natural and not at all contrived.
She listened to our ‘needs’ and offered options – she avoided trends and fads, and reused our much loved books and furniture.

The overall effect was stunning and exactly what we wanted!
Nicci helped us choose beautiful fabrics for the curtains and sofas but she also made use of items we already owned. The overall effect was stunning and exactly what we wanted! Thank you Nicci… we would 100% recommend your services!
