Interior Designer Wellington — A Clear Direction for Your Home
Home Clarity Consultant
Helping Wellington homeowners create calm, cohesive homes with clarity, direction and confidence.
When your home doesn't feel right, it's hard to know what to change.
You might have ideas, pieces you like, or plans you've been sitting on — but bringing everything together in a way that works can feel overwhelming.
You find yourself second-guessing decisions, changing things that don't solve the real problem, and wondering why your home still doesn't feel quite right.
It's not a lack of good taste.
It's a lack of clarity.
Hi I’m Nicci Tong
Home Clarity Consultant and Interior Designer at Homes with Soul.
I help homeowners understand what's working, what's not, and where to focus next — so they can stop second-guessing decisions and move forward with confidence.
Together, we define a clear direction for your home, so every change feels more intentional and connected to the bigger picture.
Wellington homes have their own character — and their own challenges.
Many Wellington homes have evolved over decades through renovations, additions, changing family needs, and a mix of old and new furnishings.
Over time, it becomes harder to see what's really working, what's causing friction, and where your money will have the greatest impact.
The Home Clarity Plan
The Home Clarity Plan helps you step back and see your home as a whole — giving you a clear understanding of what's working, what's not, and where to focus your time, energy and budget for the greatest impact.
You're not left with a plan and sent on your way
Every Home Clarity Plan includes 12 months of implementation support via WhatsApp, so when questions arise, you'll have access to guidance, feedback, and a second opinion as you bring your plan to life.
Because creating a plan is only part of the journey.
What the Home Clarity Plan gives you
Clarity
A clearer understanding of what’s working, what’s not, and what will make the biggest difference.
Direction
A considered plan for your home, so you’re clear on priorities, and know where to focus next.
Confidence
The ability to move forward with your ideas without second-guessing every decision.
A Home Clarity Plan client
Recently, I worked with a homeowner who had moved into a larger home and felt overwhelmed by the number of decisions ahead of her.
Together we identified what was worth keeping, established a clear colour and furnishing direction, and created a roadmap she could implement over time.
Rather than making isolated decisions room by room, she now has a framework for every future decision.
"The Home Clarity Plan has provided my PEACE of mind about my long-term design decisions."

Every Home Clarity Plan includes 12 months of implementation support via WhatsApp.
That means if questions come up while you're choosing furniture, refining colours, prioritising projects, or bringing your plan to life, you'll have access to guidance, feedback, and a second opinion along the way.
You're not left with a plan and sent on your way — you'll have support as you implement it.
-
Each Home Clarity Plan is tailored to your home and priorities, but typically includes a clear design direction, room-by-room recommendations, guidance on what to keep and what to change, and a prioritised action plan to help you move forward with confidence over time.
-
Many interior designers focus on selecting furniture, colours and finishes.
My approach starts with clarity.
I help homeowners understand what's working, what's not, and what will make the biggest difference to how their home feels and functions. The goal isn't just a beautiful home — it's having the clarity, direction and confidence to make good decisions over time.
-
Yes.
Many of my clients already own pieces they love but aren't sure how to bring everything together.
Rather than starting from scratch, I help you identify what to keep, what to change, and how to create a cohesive home using a combination of existing and new pieces where appropriate.
-
Not at all.
Many clients come to me because their home feels unsettled, overwhelming, or no longer reflects how they want to live.
The Home Clarity Plan helps you gain clarity and direction whether you're planning a renovation, redecorating a room, or simply trying to make better decisions about your home.
-
Yes.
While I'm based in Wellington and work locally throughout the region, I also work virtually with homeowners across New Zealand.
Many aspects of the Home Clarity Plan can be delivered remotely using photos, videos and online meetings.
