Feel understood. See what’s possible.

I’m Nichole, founder of Fresh by Design Interiors, a qualified kitchen designer with over 11 years’ experience and four national design awards.

I design kitchens, bathrooms and spaces throughout the home, working in person in Hawke’s Bay and remotely with clients across New Zealand, Australia and beyond.

My favourite projects start with something personal: a colour you love, ideas you’ve collected, or a home you’re ready to make your own.

Bring the ideas you keep coming back to.

I love working with people who know what they’re drawn to but need help making it all come together. I look at the whole floor plan, question awkward layouts and find opportunities for better storage, while developing the colours and materials that make the home feel like yours.

You don’t need to have the answers. That’s what you’re bringing me in for.

I want you to feel comfortable sharing your ideas, and confident in the advice you receive.

I’ll listen carefully and give you an honest recommendation. If a choice works against your brief or budget, I’ll explain why and show you alternatives.

You’ll see the options, understand the trade-offs and have a say in the decisions. I want you to feel sure about what we’re creating together.
