Designs by Nicola offers a range of design consultancy services to help clients create individualised living spaces for their homes. Visually stunning designs. Delivering the functionality demanded by today's modern lifestyle.
In the same way that today’s kitchen has evolved from being a cooking and eating area into a multi-functional entertaining space, Designs by Nicola has also extended its appreciation of design into other areas of the home. This includes providing consulting for bathrooms, laundries, storage, utility and media rooms.
While great care is taken to ensure that all Designs by Nicola kitchens have a compelling visual presence, meticulous attention to design functionality is equally important to create a kitchen or living space that truly works.
Designs by Nicola offers a range of design and drafting consultancy services from conceptual planning through to production drawings, product sourcing and negotiating supplier quotations for production and installation.
For those clients looking for a complete solution, Designs by Nicola can also coordinate the project and tradespeople from start to finish.

Testimonials
Nicola worked tirelessly with us to help transform our rather old and run down kitchen into one that is modern, functional and well suited to the needs of a growing family. We had a reasonably small area to work with and fairly firm ideas on the look and feel from the outset. Nicola listened to all of our requirements and threw a few brilliant ideas of her own into the mix, resulting in a warm and contemporary feel and a layout which maximizes the available space. She was so easy to communicate with and seemed to ‘get’ what we were…
Nicola has helped us to transform our kitchen, not once, but twice! Both times she has listened carefully to our requirements and offered great ideas which maximised the available space and maintained the ‘feel’ we were after. In both instances Nicola worked well with the architects and builders, and helped us to navigate our way through the process without any major hiccups. We would thoroughly recommend Nicola to our friends, family and beyond.
Nicola was so approachable and nothing ever seemed to be a problem for her, from changing appointments to changing designs! She listened to my brief, needs and how our family operated and she worked within those parameters, while still contributing innovative design suggestions. I absolutely love my kitchen and never look at another and wish I had that. It functions extremely well and there isn’t anything I would consider a design fault or impractical. There are features in the kitchen I would never have thought of and an attention to detail which has realty made a difference in the final…
Our brief to Nicola was for a kitchen that suited our new build, a large shed in a paddock surrounded by native bush. The interiors were to be dark, industrial and with a bit of glamour. It was to be different from the contemporary suburban kitchen and living space she had designed for us some years earlier. Nicola’s initial concept plan was right on track. The combination of wood, black steel and mesh were perfect for the look we wished to achieve. The hanging cupboards were immediately recognised as a way of bringing the nature outside, in. Having worked with…
We engaged Nicola to design the kitchen and scullery for our new home on the North Shore. Throughout the process Nicola showed an unfailing commitment to our project and to us as clients. She patiently worked with us on our ideas and honestly shared her opinion and feedback. Nicola was incredibly methodical and her attention to every element of our plans was meticulous. Her involvement in the early stages of our build meant any issues affecting the kitchen dimensions were identified early and resolved easily. Nicola brought our plans to life through her well established manufacturing and supplier relationships. She ensured quality,…
Nicola’s professional expertise has been invaluable with our recent kitchen renovation. She produced an innovative design, was meticulous in her functional detail and ever patient in incorporating our preferences in the process. Her diligence and skill created a kitchen that we are extremely happy with. We have no hesitation in recommending Nicola.
Having worked with Nicola on my first kitchen renovation, I was delighted to hear that she had returned from overseas when I came to do my second. I had some ideas of the general look – granite type, cupboard style etc. Nicola listens and refines problem areas while suggesting things I would never have thought of. For example – for the initial conceptual layout plans she drew the way I had imagined it would be, and also came back with a radically different layout. We went with her layout and I am delighted and very pleased I did. She achieved…
I am delighted with the end result of my kitchen. Nicola’s design blends into our classical home. It is sophisticated and extremely functional. Nicola is a warm, friendly, interested designer who listens to the client and has great ideas to assist with the overall outcome. I am very happy to recommend Nicola as a top designer. The project went very smoothly with Nicola’s assistance.She has done an excellent job.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Nicola for the wonderful job she did for us in making sure our Kitchen in our new home was what we wanted and expected. After having some concept plans of the kitchen drawn up by our Architect, as part of our new home plans, I sat down with Nicola to work out what design and plan would best suit our needs and look good at the same time. She was very thorough on knowing what works best in a kitchen layout and listened to what our requirements were.…
We are very happy with our new kitchen and the design you came up with for us. It has transformed our quite basic kitchen to a kitchen that has the wow factor. When our friends come around they are just amazed with the transformation. We appreciate the time and effort you spent with us, and in particular your patience working in with me as I am one that cannot visualise the end result. I can truly say the end result is fantastic and would be happy to recommend you to any of our friends thinking of a new kitchen.
