What Nicole Was Up To

Nicole had a packed schedule, including the honor of speaking on a panel at Eilersen, the renowned Danish furniture brand known for its craftsmanship and commitment to comfort (if you’ve ever sat on one of their sofas, you know).

At R. Nickson Interiors, we don’t just design spaces—we design how people live in them. We believe that every piece should serve a purpose, tell a story, and feel undeniably personal. That’s why I’m thrilled to be part of an upcoming panel at High Point Market—a conversation that hits right at the heart of what we’re all obsessed with: high-quality, custom furniture that transforms a space from cookie-cutter to completely unforgettable.

At R. Nickson Interiors, we believe in delivering exceptional quality and craftsmanship on every project—whether it’s a small renovation or a large-scale commercial build. With Nicole’s background in both residential and commercial construction, coupled with our trusted team of contractors and tradespeople, you can rest assured that every detail will meet the highest standards. But, what exactly does that look like in practice?

Tariffs – essentially taxes on imported goods – are making headlines again. Former President Trump’s trade policy outlook is shaking up import costs, and this has real implications for interior design and construction.

We’ll also cover which countries are most impacted, how vendors are responding with price changes, and what we at R. Nickson Interiors are doing to stay ahead. The goal: to keep you informed and reassured, even as we face these challenges together.

Not all designers are created equal — especially when construction is involved. At R. Nickson Interiors, we blend design expertise with real construction knowledge to create beautiful spaces that actually work. Avoid costly mistakes, delays, and disconnects.
