Home Clarity Session
A fresh perspective and a clear place to start.
INVESTMENT $500.00
Every client begins with a Home Clarity Session.
Together, we'll take a considered look at your home, explore what's working and what isn't, and explore opportunities you might not have considered.
We'll untangle the ideas in your head, and and identify the changes that will make the biggest difference to how your home feels.
You'll leave with clear priorities, practical advice and confidence in your next steps.
“Nicci really listened to what we were trying to achieve and came up with a much simpler solution that better addressed our goals. We also saved thousands that would otherwise have gone on a costly renovation.”
Laura McCarthy, Northland

Home Clarity Plan
A personalised direction for your home.
INVESTMENT $4,500.00*
*Your $500 Home Clarity Session investment is credited towards The Plan if you proceed within 30 days.
The Home Clarity Plan builds on everything we uncover during your Home Clarity Session.
It combines the recommendations from our conversation with a personalised visual Design Direction, room-by-room priorities and recommendations plus practical guidance, creating a decision-making guide you can return to again and again as your home evolves.
Instead of second-guessing every purchase or wondering whether new ideas will work together, you'll have a clear reference that helps every decision build on the last.
"Working with Nicci on my Home Clarity Plan gave me confidence in my long-term design decisions. Instead of going round in circles, I now have a clear plan to guide each step as I invest in my home over time."
Gillian Woodward, Lower Hutt

Home Clarity Companion
Professional guidance as you bring your plan to life.
Guided - INVESTMENT FROM $1,500
You implement. I guide.
Partnered - INVESTMENT FROM $3,500
We make the important decisions together.
The Home Clarity Companion gives you three months of professional design support to help you make confident decisions for your home, and bring your design direction to life.
Whether you prefer to take the lead yourself, with guidance when you need it, or work more closely with me on the important decisions, there's a level of support you.
You can use my support in whatever way is most helpful – from choosing fabrics and developing a paint colour scheme to getting advice on furniture selection, room layout and bringing the finishing touches together. The aim is to help you create a cohesive and personal home one thoughtful decision at a time.
"Nicci helped us choose beautiful fabrics while making the most of the pieces we already owned. The overall effect was stunning and exactly what we wanted."
Sonya Taylor, Strathmore

Home Clarity Check-in
A little guidance when you need it.
INVESTMENT $500.00
The Home Clarity Check-in gives existing clients a way to reconnect and access professional advice without committing to another larger engagement.
It’s a focused opportunity to get professional judgement on the questions, options and decisions you're working through.
You might use a Check-in to work through decisions about colour, furniture or layout, weigh up options, work out what to do next, or get a fresh perspective as your home evolves.
Available virtually or in person.
"Nicci has helped me with three projects over the past few years. She gets me and my style and helps shape my ideas into a cohesive design that's both beautiful and practical."
Karin Schofield, Karori
You decide how far you want to go.
The Home Clarity Session is where we begin, but there's no expectation that you'll need everything that follows.
Some clients are happy to take their recommendations and make changes independently. Others want a more comprehensive Design Direction or access to professional support to help them make progress
Based on your home, and your priorities we can work out what will be most useful to you.
The aim is always the same: helping you make thoughtful decisions and create a home that feels like you.
Things you might be wondering.
-
Your Home Clarity Session gives you the clarity to determine what comes next.
For many clients, the next step is the Home Clarity Plan — creating a whole-home Design Direction that gives you a clear framework for future decisions.
If you proceed to the Plan, you can then choose whether you have the confidence to move forward independently or sign up for a Home Clarity Companion for focused support with one room or defined area.
The decision is always yours.
-
Absolutely.
Many Homes with Soul experiences can be delivered virtually using photographs, video calls and guided walkthroughs.
I work with clients throughout New Zealand.
-
Absolutely — but we start by understanding how that room fits into your home as a whole.
Even when you're focused on one room, decisions about colour, furniture, materials and layout can affect how the rest of your home feels. Making those decisions in isolation can lead to a room that works on its own but doesn't feel connected to everything around it.
That's why the Home Clarity Plan creates a whole-home Design Direction first. Once you have that direction, you can take it forward at your own pace — whether you implement it yourself, involve your whānau, return for a Home Clarity Companion when you want more hands-on support, or use Home Clarity Check-ins when you need professional judgement.
The Plan gives you the direction. How you bring it to life is up to you.
-
Absolutely.
In fact, that's one of the foundations of the Homes with Soul Method. Together, we'll identify what already works, build on the pieces you love and only recommend changes where they'll make the greatest difference.
-
You don't need to.
Most clients come to me because they know something doesn't feel right but can't quite put their finger on why.
Together, we'll uncover what you naturally respond to and create a clear direction that feels like you.
Take the first step.
You don't need to know exactly what your home needs or have a plan before we meet.
We'll work out together.
