At 911 Interior Design by Nicole I pride myself on offering exceptional, customized interior design services and related services such as staging prior to selling your home and preparing a home to become a successful vacation home or rental property.
I operate in 2 main areas: Chapel Hill and its neighboring cities, including Pittsboro, Durham, and RTP, as well as parts of the Eastern Carolina coast, with a focus on projects located between Wilmington and Kure Beach. With a deep understanding of the unique character and needs of these areas, I strive to transform every space according to my client’s vision. Special care is given to fuse the visual with functionality, while creating a space that reflects the personality and lifestyle of the homeowner.
You are the boss! Whether you want to be hands-on throughout the process, like to be involved in certain aspects of the project, or prefer to be only updated on the overall progress and consulted in case of unplanned circumstances- I will be happy to work with you.
Regardless if you are looking to remodel your home (most “invasive”), renovate an existing space (“facelift”), need space planning to improve the overall flow, or would like guidance on how to update and decorate specific rooms/spaces, I will guide you along the way and make it happen.
From the initial consultation to the final reveal, my process is thorough and client focused. I gather detailed information about your space and preferences, create mood boards, collect material samples, and prepare a design plan. My goal is to ensure that every project not only meets but exceeds your expectations. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality, I am ready to manage all aspects of the design process, including product sourcing, project management, and installation. You can choose your level of involvement in this journey. I am always transparent and upfront. No hidden costs or undisclosed overhead fees will ever be a part of working with me. This ensures a seamless and stress-free experience for you.
Transforming your property into a standout vacation destination or rental home begins with understanding the area your property is located in and the type of guests/ renters you are aiming to attract. This will dictate to what extent you should consider remodeling and updating, and also gives you an idea of which price category you should target.
Optimizing the existing space, removing outdated and unnecessary items, and creating a plan that highlights your property's best features goes a long way without breaking the bank.
I start by gathering detailed information, then focus on preparing a tailored concept that makes your home appealing to potential guests and renters. When choosing materials, finishes and furniture, I will select items that are easy to maintain and generally speaking more durable to withstand the test of time.
Going timeless on more permanent additions and built-ins will keep it timeless and longer "in style" without a need for constant updating. Adding fun and unique elements through easy changable accents and decorations are a cost sensitive way to prevent your property from looking boring and "cookie-cutter-style".
