''Working with Nicola Stillone was an exceptional experience. She is an insightful, experienced interior designer with a discerning eye for detail, a refined aesthetic, and a genuine passion for her craft. Nicola delivered far beyond expectations, and the final outcome was nothing short of exceptional.
​
Her approach was deeply collaborative, yet she demonstrated quiet authority and confidence when guiding decisions toward stronger outcomes. Each choice was considered and intentional, resulting in a cohesive, elevated design that felt both sophisticated and resolved. She navigated the project seamlessly across all trades, commanding respect and responsiveness with ease.
​
I am actively seeking further opportunities to continue working with Nicola and would engage her without hesitation on future projects.'' - Christine, Oyster Bay.
"Nicola came into my life at a moment when I didn’t just need an interior designer, I needed someone who understood that a home can be part of healing.
I was coming out of a deeply challenging period, and from our very first conversations she approached the space with a soulful, intuitive sensitivity.
She didn’t just ask what I liked aesthetically, she listened to where I was emotionally. Her process felt more like a gentle excavation, translating my inner world into texture, colour and light with real intent.
The result was a home that made me feel safe, grounded and at peace, a place where my nervous system could finally exhale.
​
Two years on, her touch still resonates throughout the apartment. It’s one of those spaces that holds you the moment you walk in. People constantly comment on how comfortable, warm and welcoming it feels, often without being able to explain why. That’s Nicola’s gift. Her ability to analyse the inner soul and let that guide her design choices creates environments that aren’t just beautiful, they’re alive. Living in this space every day is a reminder that design, when done with care and depth, can quietly and powerfully change how you feel." - Nik, Neutral Bay.
"I have known Nicola since 2018 when I engaged her to assist with the design of my restaurant, Boronia Kitchen and its adjacent function room.
​
In my forty years of working in hospitality I have worked with many talented designers, architects and creative professionals on a whole range of projects, but Nicola stands out as one of the single most gifted, creative and generous interior designers I have had the opportunity to collaborate with.
​
Nicola is not only supremely talented, but she is also a very calm presence in the often stressful creative process. I have worked with her on several different projects and every time she has impressed me not only with her competence and problem-solving ability, but her grace, good humour, and infectious positive energy.
​
What sets Nicola apart from her contemporaries is her instinctive ability to design spaces that are in perfect alignment with the brief. They are designs that always meet the budgetary requirements.
​
Nicola uses her unique style and occasionally found objects to create an aesthetic that connects with the people that inhabit them. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of colours, design and fashion enables Nicola to create environments that people are not only drawn to, but eclectic spaces that makes us all feel better for being in them.
This is her true gift." - Susan, Hunters Hill.
