Design Philosophy

“Every detail affects the tone of the room. The textures, textiles, surfaces, and accessories influence mood, setting the stage for how people will engage in the space. I work with clients to create comfortably elegant environments where everyone feels welcome.”

Nicole Roby Interior Designer

“Your home should be an inviting haven for family and friends, a place of functional beauty where everyone feels special. Making others comfortable in an elegant space is the secret of artful living.“

Nicole is recognized for blending layers of natural elements to create classic, memorable interiors infused with a modern sensibility. With an aesthetic of livable luxury, she creates inviting spaces based on clean lines accented with bespoke details reflecting her clients’ personalities and interests. Nicole is fluent in classic design traditions and draws inspiration from close collaboration with her clients, cultivating trust as the cornerstone of communication that guides her in creating comfortably elegant spaces that bring clients’ visions to life.

Her portfolio includes luxury residential and commercial projects ranging from rambling suburban homes and high-rise corporate headquarters to an oceanside retreat in the Turks and Caicos Islands. A seasoned designer, Nicole takes pride in a project gallery that includes loyal repeat and referral clients. Her work has been described as sophisticated, innovative, and refreshing.
