Meet Nichole — Award Winning Hawke’s Bay interior & kitchen designer
For homes that feel calm every day.
Hi, I’m Nichole. I design joinery-first, practical kitchens, bathrooms and interiors that lower the mental load and make daily life easier. You’ll see it before you say yes with photo-real visuals, then your builder receives clear, builder-ready documentation so installs run smoothly.
A kitchen that fights you won’t feel welcoming for long.
You’re not disorganised, your home just isn’t designed around your life (yet).
You shouldn’t have to juggle tradies, timelines and family dinner at once.
Trends come and go but great design grows with you.
More choices rarely mean better results, they mean burnout.
A well-designed space should feel like a deep, calming breath.
You’re already doing enough, your home should support you, not hold you back.
7 Things I know to be true
How We work
Fit and Scope
A quick call (either video or phone) to confirm your goals, timeline and the right service for your journey.
Floor plans (spatial)
We map zones, storage, flow, material and colour opportunities so you know what’s possible before moving walls.
Materials and Colours
Joinery finishes, benchtops, tiles, hardware and lighting layers that support daily life (and age well).
See It
Photo-real renders so you can see, and approve, the materials, colours, and details with confidence.
Document and Build
Builder-ready drawings, schedules and specs to keep installs smooth. We stay close to support a smooth install.
I’m a nature-loving homebody who believes the most beautiful spaces are the ones you can truly live in. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me baking, on our homestead, or enjoying a warm drink under a blanket while the rain taps the windows—happy, not busy, is my goal in life.
