“We hired Stephanie to help us design our newly constructed sunroom.”
We hired Stephanie to help us design our newly constructed sunroom. The design was a little challenging because the room is relatively small and has many windows. Stephanie did an excellent job of planning furniture layout to fit the space and to meet our functional needs. She helped us select materials (flooring, paint color, and color scheme) that worked perfectly. She was easy to work with, extremely responsive, and enthusiastic, which made the design process fun rather than stressful. We highly recommend her.

“I connected with Stephanie very shortly after I moved to a new townhome.”
I connected with Stephanie very shortly after I moved to a new townhome. I was looking for someone who was willing to take on a relatively small project that would help me feel at home in my new space. Stephanie helped me integrate some of my existing furniture with beautiful new pieces to create a beautiful, functional living room. What was one large open space is now two curated areas-- one for watching TV and relaxing, the other a cozy area for reading and entertaining. Stephanie quickly helped me identify my "style" and selected options for rugs, lighting, and seating that I would not have been able to access on my own. She made me (and my partner) feel comfortable, listened to several rounds of feedback, and did it all with grace, patience, and on budget. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

“Stephanie Nickolson is a true visionary in the world of interior design.”
Stephanie Nickolson is a true visionary in the world of interior design. From the very start of our project, she brought an incredible level of inspiration, creativity, and innovative design ideas that transformed our master bathroom. Her ability to balance aesthetics with functionality is unmatched, and she has a keen eye for selecting colors and materials that elevated our room. One of Stephanie’s greatest strengths is her ability to work within a budget without compromising on quality or style. She listens carefully to her clients, ensuring that their vision is realized while offering expert guidance and fresh perspectives. Whether it was sourcing cost-effective alternatives or refining design choices, she made sure we stayed within budget. Beyond her talent, Stephanie is a joy to work with—professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about her craft. She made the entire process easy and more enjoyable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for an interior designer who will bring innovation, expertise, and a client-focused approach to your project, I highly recommend Stephanie Nickolson!

“Stephanie Nickolson is a gifted designer with an amazing eye.”
Stephanie Nickolson is a gifted designer with an amazing eye. She worked with me on a kitchen update and was able to select the ideal colors and design. She listened to what I was hoping to achieve and then guided me to a solution that exceeds my every expectation. She is super responsive and not pushy in any way - I completely trust her and will be using her again in other parts of our house. She is the consummate professional and I highly recommend!

“Stephanie is fun to work with.”
Stephanie is fun to work with. She's upbeat, passionate about her work, and cares deeply about her projects, understanding what the client wants/likes (and doesn't want/like.) She is very creative, bringing us ideas and little touches that really make a difference. She was very receptive to our suggestions as well and would get excited about them. She is also good working within a budget. If she found us an item that was more than we wanted to spend, she didn't try to talk us into it but revised the search and kept going. If something wasn't up to her standards, she resolved the issue with options for us ASAP. Definitely recommend and would use Stephanie again!

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful to work with for many reasons.”
Stephanie is absolutely wonderful to work with for many reasons! She is professional, responsive, brings ideas and concepts that are unique, and is a genuinely nice person. My husband and I love working with her since she has ideas that are outside our norm; that's the reason why we hired a designer! We worked with her on our bedroom furniture, adding built-ins to our bedroom, and re-designing our walk-in closet; all turned out beautiful and we couldn't be happier! We are now tackling the living room with her (and have whole list of other areas once that space is done!).

When I told a friend I wanted to remodel my family room but I didn't even know where to begin, my friend referred me to Stephanie. I'm so glad she did! Stephanie was a delight to work with. She listened to what I wanted to achieve in my room. She was careful to stay within my budget. There were a few problems (as with almost all projects) but she stuck with me until everything was resolved to my satisfaction. I love my new family room and could never have accomplished it without Stephanie's help!

“Over the years, Stephanie has helped us to update several rooms within our home.”
Over the years, Stephanie has helped us to update several rooms within our home. When we didn’t know where to begin with our projects, she came up with great decorating suggestions and ideas. She is very helpful and accommodating, and works with many highly recommended vendors and contractors to provide quality results. Our latest project, the total remodeling of our master bathroom, was rather involved, but Stephanie coordinated all aspects of the work with such professionalism. We are very happy with the new look! We will definitely be contacting her for decorating help in the future! Linda Tieman

“We reached out to Stephanie for help converting our kitchen and living space into a more cohesive space.”
We reached out to Stephanie for help converting our kitchen and living space into a more cohesive space. We appreciated that she seemed very interested in our project. Other designers we contacted ignored us or said the project wasn't worth their time. Stephanie was very patient, understanding, and responsive throughout the entire design process until we got it just right. She also assisted us in finding a responsible contractor to do the project for us. We love the final product, we are in that space 75% of the time at home, it was a practical update. Thank you Stephanie! We look forward to working with you on future projects and will also recommend your services.
