Together, we’ll TURN YOUR HOUSE INTO A HOME!

How I support you to MAKE IT HAPPEN!


Every home is different, and that’s why my approach is flexible.

We’ll start with a conversation about your goals, challenges, and vision. From there, I can recommend how we might work together.

Decorating or renovating your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming, or eye-wateringly expensive. Together, we’ll make it happen! Working to uncover the potential of your spaces, and make the most of what you already have.

what you own and love

 

By not replacing things unless absolutely necessary, you’ll have more to spend where it matters.

We begin the decorating process by making the most of what’s already there. This includes any colours, finishes, or joinery that are too expensive to change or are perfectly fine as they are, as well as the furniture and homewares you already own and love. Instead of spending on unnecessary replacements, you can invest in quality pieces that elevate your space.

This approach not only helps to avoid unnecessary waste but also allows you to focus your budget on the details that make the biggest impact. A well-thought-out home isn’t about buying more and more stuff; it’s about making smart timeless choices that bring lasting joy and functionality to your space.

that feel like home

 

Working together we will clarify your personal style, and create a home that feels like it was crafted by you, but with a designer’s touch.

Your home should reflect your personality, tastes, and the way you want to live. Rather than following trends or settling for a look that doesn’t quite feel like you, we’ll pinpoint the colours, textures, and pieces that really resonate with you - and build your new look from there.

By blending your existing pieces with carefully chosen additions that express your style, we’ll create a home that not only looks beautiful but also feels deeply personal and welcoming. The result is a space that tells your story, where every detail works together to create a cohesive, stylish, and inviting space to call home.

My pragmatic approach to home improvement will ensure you make smart, intentional investments in your home, avoiding unnecessary change and expense.

Instead of rushing into costly renovations or replacing items unnecessarily, Homes with Soul take a more thoughtful approach -assessing what works, what can be improved, and where your budget will have the most significant impact.

This way of working will help you to avoid expensive mistakes and impulse purchases that don’t work with your overall vision. Every decision will be guided by function, style, and long-term value, so the money you do spend goes toward meaningful, lasting improvements that add value to your home.

Happy client giving positive review about experience working with Homes with Soul
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!
