Why the R. Nickson Design House Matters

At R. Nickson Interiors, design has always been about more than finished spaces. It is about how people live, gather, work, and connect. The Design House is a physical extension of that belief. It represents our commitment to building not only beautiful homes, but also a stronger creative community and lasting infrastructure here in Polk County.

The Purpose of the Design House

The R. Nickson Design House was created to give our work a permanent home. A place where ideas can live fully, where conversations happen face to face, and where design is experienced, not rushed or reduced to a screen. This space allows us to slow the process down in the best way and give each project the attention and intention it deserves.

It is a working studio, a creative hub, and a gathering place. Every detail was considered to support how we design and how we serve our clients.

An Elevated Client Experience

Client presentations are meant to feel immersive and clear. Inside the Design House, we can walk clients through their projects with intention. Materials are layered together in real time. Floor plans, elevations, and finishes are reviewed in a setting designed for focus and clarity.

This environment allows our clients to see the full picture and make confident decisions. It transforms the design process into an experience that feels thoughtful, organized, and personal.

A Large-Scale Samples Library

One of the most important elements of the Design House is our extensive samples library. Stone, tile, wood, fabrics, hardware, and finishes live side by side so selections can be made holistically.

This library supports better design decisions and a smoother process. Clients are able to compare materials at scale, understand undertones, and visualize how everything works together before anything is ordered or installed.

Supporting the Polk County Designers Guild

Community matters deeply to us. The Design House allows us to host Polk County Designers Guild events, presentations, and gatherings that support local designers and creatives.

By opening our doors, we are investing in shared knowledge, collaboration, and professional growth. Strong creative communities raise the standard for everyone involved.

A Place for Community and Celebration

Beyond design work, the Design House is meant to be lived in. It is a space for community gatherings, celebrations, educational events, and meaningful conversations.

From industry meetups to client events and creative collaborations, this space allows us to connect people in ways that feel natural and welcoming.

Our Commitment to Polk County and Lakeland

Choosing to plant roots in Lakeland was intentional. We believe in contributing to the place we live and work. The Design House is a long-term investment in Polk County and the people who make it special.

We are proud to design homes across Florida, but Lakeland is home. This space reflects our commitment to growing here, supporting local creatives, and building something lasting for the community.

The R. Nickson Design House is not just a studio. It is a foundation for connection, creativity, and thoughtful design for years to come.
