Nicole Scott Designs

We hired Nicole to complete a couple projects around the house. The main project was the master bedroom. Nicole did an Excellent job at achieving our vision while respecting our budget. Needless to say, we would hire her again and plan on doing this hopefully soon. She absolutely saved us time and money! If we did this ourself, we would have wasted money on purchasing wrong pieces plus it would have taken us FOREVER...lol. We constantly received positive feedback on how beautiful our home is and this is mainly because of Nicole!

We moved into a 1920s house with so much potential, we didn't know where to begin! Working with Nicole was awesome - she understood our busy family lifestyle, tight budget constraints, and our eclectic taste. We focused our work with Nicole on our living room and it has turning into our absolute favourite room in the house, by far. As our budget allows, we can't wait to work with Nicole again on the next room(s)! I really appreciated how Nicole helped us integrate art and artifacts that we already owned and wanted to incorporate into the room - but didn't know how. She was also really supportive of our DIY approach and let us take on work where we wanted to. Nicole is so crafty too - she turned a piece of Guatemalan fabric that we picked up at a market 10 years ago into gorgeous pillows for our couch - amazing! Our goal was to work with a designer but to make sure the end result looked like we did it ourselves - and that's exactly how it turned out! Thank you Nicole / / / until next time!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicole. She was very adept at understanding what I wanted and worked tirelessly to find it. She was mindful of the budget, which was appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Nicole again or recommend her to others.

We hired Nicole to help us bring the home we bought out of the eighties. Within minutes of the walk through with Nicole she was bringing ideas to the table that were so perfect for the look we wanted to achieve. She combed through every detail and was able to present a design board for us to show how the end product could look. Having her knowledge and expertise made the whole process smooth, fun and within our tight budget! The end result was just as we had hoped. We went from a dated pink Barbie dream house to the warm west coast feel we were striving for. Nicole always made herself available and was great at communicating and keeping us in the loop. We are already making plans to hire her again for phase 2 of our renovation. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make their house a home....that is exactly what she helped us do. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We are looking forward to working with her again.

I have hired Nicole Scott for yet another project. Most recently it was my kitchen. I love the way it turned out and it's because of Nicole. She knows what I like more than I know myself. She comes up with great ideas that I wouldn't have thought about. Nicole makes the design process simpler, better and more cost effective. She is a pleasure to work with, responds quickly to any questions and goes the extra mile. She truly cares.

We worked with Nicole Scott to carry out a living room renovation and coordination of a kitchen renovation. Nicole provided overall conceptual / design guidance, assistance in selecting individual trades and purchasing of furnishings. We were VERY happy with Nicole's input and support for this project (total budget approx. $50,000). She was very sensitive to our needs and wishes and helped to bring about a look at truly reflects our personality and lifestyle. She was able to make good recommendations in a sensitive and collaborative way because she really listens. She was also very careful to keep our budget intact and to remain flexible as inevitable changes occurred. We now have a more beautiful home and a real friend in Nicole. No hesitation to recommend Nicole as a first-rate design consultant and project "shepherd".

Nicole took on a distance design job for me. I purchased my new condo which only closed once I returned to my main home overseas. Through excellent email communications Nicole was able to determine my design style, agree on budget and keep me updated with regular progress reports. I was able to get a feel for the design via her great mash-up collages and photos. Email dialogue clarified those items that were important to me. So when the day came for my return to Victoria and the reveal, I was excited and expectant. Nicole delivered! I had a move in ready condo decorated perfectly to my style. To top off the wow for me, Nicole had added floral arrangements and a selection of picture books.

We live in St. Albert and own a home in Victoria. When renovations to the owners' suite were nearing completion, it became apparent to us that it would be next to impossible to decorate and furnish the suite by occasional visits from Alberta. Enter Nicole Scott, who did it all for us. After an initial meeting we provided her with photo's of our house in St. Albert to give her an idea of our personal style. Once she knew our budget, she prepared plans for each room and was completely open to discussion - "we like this, we don't like that" - until there was a plan for each room, complete with cost estimates. She provided photographs of each major proposed purchase, and again was completely open to making changes. Then she became our person on the spot in Victoria - she opened up the suite for the closet and blind installers, purchased the furniture, arranged for storage and delivery, and ultimately turned over to us a completely furnished and decorated suite, with pictures on the walls and linen on the beds. She had taken an empty space and turned it into a beautiful apartment that felt totally like us. We will have an ongoing relationship as she will be back to let the cable installer and locksmith in Although we had full control over budget and selection, we were unable to be physically present for anything other than the initial meeting and the final turnover, and it is an understatement to say that we are totally happy with the results. We are sure that anyone who wanted to be or could be more highly involved with the process would be equally happy. We found Nicole's costs to be reasonable, and her enthusiasm, skill and abilities to be exceptional. Nicole was a lifesaver for us and we recommend her highly.

I am not an easy client. I have high expectations, I insist on a clear plan before starting, and am frankly miserly when it comes to hiring outside help. Understand that when I say I plan on hiring Nicole again, I am not offering faint praise. She is an exceptional designer in every way. She has a knack for understanding what her clients want, she rises to meet challenges with enthusiasm, and she delivers excellent value. If you're like me, and were hesitant to hire a decorator, she is the right choice. Bottom line: she'll get the job done, in budget, and better than you'd thought possible.

Very happy with the work done on my two-bedroom townhouse. It was Plain-Jane bland when I bought it, and Nicole Scott Designs made it into a colourful, comfortable, homey place, while staying within a modest budget. Nicole herself is unpretentious and fun to work with. She took my ideas and improved upon them, so I ended up with an interior that felt like my own style, only better! This image shows the After of what was, before, a beige-tiled electric fireplace with no mantel, sort of plunked onto a blank wall -- more of an eyesore than a feature. The tile, mantel, and beautifully trimmed bookshelves turned the boring-box room into a miniature English library.

Dependable. Consistant. On-time. Exceptionally Creative. Calm. Nicole helped my husband and I with everything from paint colours to displaying our life of travels, and interesting places we've lived, and family history into a smallish home. Our space now reflects all the things we love but in such a way that is not cluttered! We will be calling Nicole again should life change, moving etc. We adore her! (so does our dog).
