Wellington Interior Designer Nicci Tong, at home

Decorating that starts with what you own and love.


Home Interiors, Done Differently.

Welcome! If you’re looking for support with your home refresh, and are ready to make it happen - you’ve come to the right place.

Imagine:

  • waking up in a home that feels inviting, comfortable, and uniquely yours.

  • walking through rooms that feel harmonious and personal, not mismatched or uninspiring.

  • finally stopping the cycle of overthinking decorating ideas because it’s all done.

  • having the time and headspace to enjoy life - and loving spending time at home, whether alone or with friends.

This isn’t cookie-cutter interior design or replacing things unnecessarily. This is home interiors, done differently. It’s about working together to co-create personal spaces that feel like home, fit your needs and transform your everyday life into one that feels easeful and enjoyable.

With my support you will spend your money wisely on changes that will make the biggest difference to your space.

I’m excited you found me - a home you love is closer than you think!

 

The Homes with Soul Approach

Here at Homes with Soul, I don’t encourage you spend money on big changes or new pieces of furniture unless you need to - instead, I’ll help you get your existing pieces working really well together - by styling your space to combine old and new in a way that really works. Any changes or new additions I recommend for your space will help elevate your home and turn it into one that feels homely, comfortable and relaxing. - I don’t help you spend money, I help you save it - so you’re only spending what you need to create a home you love!

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.
