Testimonials
We were amazed at how quickly and easily Nicola transformed our
Parnell home. Nicola listened carefully to what we wanted to
achieve from the renovation, she added her exceptional design flair
and efficient project management skills and the result has been
fabulous. Nicola completely transformed our house from inside to
outside and seamlessly managed all of the tradespeople. Nicola
designed and managed the installation of our new kitchen and
bathrooms, she designed the internal and exterior colour schemes
and helped us select furniture and window dressings. Nicola is
friendly and approachable and great to work with. I have no
hesitation in recommending her as a designer.
Susan and James
Downsizing from a larger home we were worried that we would have
to adapt to less storage in our new kitchen. Nicola made great use
of all the space available and gave us everything we needed and
more. She gave us a kitchen and bathrooms that have a modern touch
but respect the architectural features of the house. The whole
process was a pleasant experience as Nicola and her team of Cabinet
Makers are efficient, helpful and have the attitude that nothing is
too much trouble.
Margie and John Henderson
To whom it may concern, My wife and I were introduced to Nicola
several years ago when she was recommended to us prior to our
beginning a full make over of our last home. Following an initial
discussion, Nicola seemed to intuitively lock into our needs and
style, and was given the contract to remodel our three bathrooms,
provide colours for the full interior renovation - carpets, tiles,
walls, drapes, taps, hardware etc. Nicola did the legwork,
providing options which in almost every case were right on the
mark, and she supplied and liaised with the tradesmen to provide us
with an amazingly easy renovation process. We were very happy with
the final result.
More recently we embarked on the building of our first "new"
home. This new home was to be architect designed, 340 square meters
and to be of superior quality. We had no second thoughts about
bringing Nicola in to assist us with the interior of this home. We
were impressed with the way she communicated with both the
architect and the builder and immediately felt comfortable with the
ideas and colour schemes she suggested would work. Nicola designed
all of the interior, wooden floors, carpets, tiles, drapes,
built-in furniture, furniture, soft furnishings, bathrooms,
lighting - quite simply, I think we would still be making decisions
now if Nicola hadn't made the options so easy. She continued to
liaise with the builder, tradesmen and manufacturers throughout the
project, to the point where such was our confidence in her that we
left her in charge to make decisions on our behalf while we were
overseas.
Nicola did an absolutely splendid job for us on this home - we
have been in it now for two years and would change nothing - and
she has since been available to us in sorting minor warranty
problems in odd items. At all times in our dealings with Nicola, we
have found her to be friendly, professional, punctual, and
performing on promises. We would have no hesitation in (in fact we
have) recommending Nicola to anyone we know (apart from a couple we
wouldn't will on anyone!!!). If anyone reading this reference would
like anything clarified, or to discuss Nicola's work, I am
available to do this on 021 63 63 63.

To Whom It May Concern Nicola Manning was contracted by my
partner Barbara Troy and me during 2007 and 2008 as an Interior
Designer to assist with furnishing our new townhouse apartment at
41c Ayr St, Parnell, Auckland. Nicola brought fresh and modern
concepts and worked with us in a highly professional, diligent and
responsive manner. She is able to negotiate extremely well with
suppliers ensuring we bought quality furnishings at best market
prices. Upon supply Nicola consistently followed through to ensure
we were pleased with supply and installation of our purchases. She
is an excellent listener and communicator and we were very
comfortable to work with her and to have her in our home. Over the
past 30 months we have thoroughly enjoyed living in our new home
and are delighted with its decor and furnishing. We would certainly
use Nicola again if the need arose and highly commend her as a
first class Interior Designer. For further information we are
