Behind the Design: Nicole Roe’s Feature in Designers Today
Nicole Roe, founder of R. Nickson Interiors, was recently featured in Designers Today, where she shared her journey, design philosophy, and the evolution of her firm. Known for her bold yet livable aesthetic, Nicole’s approach blends high-end craftsmanship with a deep understanding of how environments impact daily life.
From Rebrand to Recognition
Nicole’s transition from Nicole Roe Design to R. Nickson Interiors marked a pivotal moment in her career. The rebrand wasn’t just about a name change—it was about establishing a lifestyle-driven brand that could evolve beyond her personal identity. She envisioned a company that exudes confidence, embraces bold choices, and creates spaces that are as stylish as they are functional.
The Power of Surroundings
A key theme in the feature was Nicole’s belief that design affects the way we live. Whether it’s a thoughtfully designed home that fosters connection or a commercial space that enhances productivity, she emphasizes the importance of creating environments that support both aesthetic and emotional well-being. This philosophy also plays a role in her podcast, Highly Affected by Her Surroundings, where she explores the intersection of design, neuroscience, and lifestyle.
Balancing Masculine & Feminine Energy in Design
Nicole’s signature style is effortlessly balanced—her projects seamlessly blend masculine energy with soft, livable elements. She achieves this through layered textures, statement lighting, and a strategic mix of bold and understated pieces. Her recent project, Salty Angler, a waterfront fishing retreat, is a prime example of how she brings both strength and comfort into a space.
What’s Next for R. Nickson Interiors?
With a growing national presence and a focus on full-service interiors, Nicole is expanding into more large-scale projects, including custom new builds, high-end renovations, and curated furnishing installations. She also emphasizes the importance of in-house warehousing, a unique aspect of her firm that streamlines logistics for both her team and her clients.
Nicole’s feature in Designers Today highlights her evolution as a designer, her commitment to pushing creative boundaries, and her vision for the future of R. Nickson Interiors.
