As Principal of her eponymous firm, Stephanie Nickolson Design, Inc., Stephanie celebrates over 35 years in the design field. She leverages her creativity, product knowledge and design skills in the successful collaboration with the finest architects, contractors and builders. She learned to appreciate fine art at an early age as her father was an artist and art dealer on the north shore. She then went on to continue her education of art history and interior design at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. After receiving her BS degree in Interior Design, she established her firm in 1986.
Stephanie Nickolson Design, Inc. is a full service residential and commercial interior design firm with a sub-specialty in hospitality design including hotel, restaurant, banquet hall, senior living facilities, golf + country clubs, sororities + fraternities, condominiums, boutiques, salons + spas and health + wellness centers.
We want to take the stress out of our clients getting bogged down with details of the process as we take over methodically, creating spaces that help put them in their comfort zone; whether it be relaxing in a spa room, enjoying happy hour in their home bar, taking a nap in a serene bedroom or enjoying a movie in their theater room, we create the atmosphere for these surroundings to be welcomed and enjoyed.
I see the design process as a total collaboration with my team of professionals and each client. Initially, we start with a vision and overall design concept which then unfolds, a process I refer to as ‘layering’ an interior. We recognize and celebrate what each professional brings to a project with each phase. All of the furnishings and elements seamlessly mesh together, specializing in the art of infusing natural materials, textures and lighting in this process to create warmth, depth and exciting sensory experience in each space. This reflects our brand.
