Creating spaces that are stylish, comfortable, and unique to you.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”

— Leonardo di Vinci


About

I assist overwhelmed homeowners to create personalised kitchens and interiors without the burden of stress and uncertainty

“It is so important to understand each client’s struggles and come up with solutions which ultimately make their lives more enjoyable and uncomplicated”.


Founded by Nikki Nixon, NXN Interiors came to fruition in 2021 to follow her passions and to bring a stylish, uncomplicated approach to the often stressful experience of creating more functional and enjoyable spaces.

Practical, with a ‘hands on’ approach, Nikki brings a reliable and grounded attitude to provide clarity and calmness to her client’s projects.

  • Equipped with an Advanced Diploma in Interior Design at 21 years old, Nikki kicked off the first 7 years of her career as the in-house designer at a bespoke kitchen manufacturer in New Zealand. It was here that she developed her love and understanding of joinery, as well as capturing the heart of the company’s Production Manager - now referred to as her husband!

    After a move to Sydney, Nikki was offered an exciting role consulting for one of Europe’s largest and most innovative furniture companies, Vitra, where she developed close relationships with some of Australia’s most reputable and talented Interior Designers.

    10 years, 2 kids and 3 major renovations later, Nikki realised that the challenging and creative aspects of design are what drive and excite her the most and so with a leap of faith, NXN Interiors was born.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME

Whilst every design project is unique and different to the last, here’s the steps you can expect to take on your typical design journey…


Stage 1: Design Consultation


The process begins with getting to know you and understanding requirements. Here, we’ll exchange ideas and develop a design brief to form the vision of your future home.

  • Project Scope of Works: Your requirements, problem areas and wish list items
  • Budget discussions and anticipated timelines
  • The desired aesthetic and style for your home
  • Inspiration from ideas and imagery you may have collected
  • A site survey/measure-up of the space
  • The role of Project Management is explained, discussed and agreed
  • Action plan for how the process will play out
  • Expect approximately 2hr session, dependant on your scope

Stage 2: Concept Development


Now that we are excited to work together, we move on to an intensive phase of research and design, where we formulate a clear idea on the scheme moving forward.

  • Exploration of design concepts in response to your brief
  • First draft 2D floor plan including furniture layouts
  • Samples and visual references via mood boards, sketches or 3D rendered imagery
  • Preliminary budget forecast
  • Preliminary schedule of works (timeline)

Stage 3: Design Development + Finishes, Fixtures & Fittings Selections


Documentation of the selected materials, fittings, fixtures and appliances will be the focus during this stage, where we can agree on the final selections and then obtain the all-important supplier pricing for your approval.

  • Material and fitting selections developed per room
  • Samples for you to touch and feel
  • Large scale draw-down paint cards for approval
  • Budget estimates for all FFE

Stage 4: Construction Documentation


Following the approval of our concept selections, it is then time to document them in to a package of final floor plans and joinery documentation. This set of drawings will ensure that you have all the information required to submit to contractors to obtain accurate quotations.

  • Final floor plans & elevations
  • Joinery plans & documentation
  • Furniture plan
  • Electrical plan
  • Finishes, fixtures and equipment schedule
  • Specification pages for appliances, lighting & fittings/fixtures

Stage 5: Furniture + Accessories Selections


By now, we’re ready to select the furniture and styling pieces which will round-off your fit-out once construction is complete. We would have been discussed the desired aesthetic back at concept development stage, which is what our selections will be guided by.

  • Furniture schedule, inclusive of budget
  • Final furniture arrangement plans
  • Specification pages for all selections
  • Procurement (upon request)
  • Installation & final styling

Stage 6: Project Completion


After a final visit to site to apply any final touches and tweaks to the space, that’s it - you’re done! Sit back and take in your new, stunning environment.

Option: Project/Design Management


Whether you don’t feel comfortable or qualified enough to deal with the various trades, or you’re quite simply time-poor, I can be the main contact to oversee the process on your behalf. Any questions around the design, timeframe, installation or problem solving can all be directed my way to maintain quality control of the design intent. We will have a conversation about your role as the client and the specific roles you would like me to handle on a case-by-case basis.

 

Interior Design Services

“Whether you are embarking on a new build or renovation, I understand that knowing exactly where to start can be an overwhelming task.
From small to large-scale projects, we can tailor a service to suit your needs.”


Design Consultation


Your design journey starts here. During our consultation, we will meet virtually or in person to gain an idea of the space and an outline of the project scope. I will share my professional ideas, suggestions and advice on design scheme, layouts and how to maximise the functionality of the space - all whilst taking in to consideration your expected budget and timeframes. Following the consultation, you'll be provided with an email to summarise our meeting along with links to websites and other products/finishes we have discussed. I'll then prepare a custom Fee Proposal for further services required for your project should you choose to work together.

The Design Consultation runs for approximately 1-2hrs

Concept Design


Concept design consists of a creative collaboration to develop the overall aesthetic for your project. Together, we collate inspiration imagery and concept finishes to produce a visual representation of your design direction.

Kitchen Design


AKA "Heart of your Home" - Signature Package

A beautifully designed and well-planned kitchen is a place to gather, socialise and creates an anchor point of your home.

Let's create your DREAM kitchen by designing custom joinery, including material and finish selections, assistance with appliances and you'll be provided with a full set of construction drawings ready to hit production phase.

To access my industry specialists and trade accounts, I am able to provide an end-to-end service to design, quote and project manage the installation for you upon request.

Bathroom & Wardrobe Design


A fresh new bathroom can feel like such a luxury, and the renovation process can be quite daunting. I can help take your bathroom to the next level with a functional spatial plan, custom joinery, and a considered selection of tiles, finishes & fixtures - without the stress and overwhelm.

Wardrobes are often overlooked and under-designed, and require a lot of thought around how you to store your beloved collection of clothes and shoes in a functional, stylish way.

Kit-set wardrobes simply don't cut it when you require something to fit your space perfectly. A custom-design including finishes of your choice and an introduction to organisational fixtures can help you get your wardrobe looking fresh and orderly.

Spatial Planning


Allow me to cast some fresh eyes on to the areas that just aren't quite cutting it for you. Whether it's a simple reconfiguration of existing furniture, or the opportunity to knock down/rebuild a few walls or even add an extension, I will provide you with options supported by visuals for a fresh new layout.

Expressed to you via 2D CAD drawn plans, and 3D renders on request.
