PHILOSOPHY

Rather than focusing on a single style, Nicole Forina Home draws influence and inspiration from a variety of sources. Our designs are a confluence of items that utilize all price points, style eras, and design philosophies. From classic to contemporary, flea-market treasure to fine antique, interior design is a living art—it’s meant to be enjoyed aesthetically, but not at the sacrifice of comfort. That's why we work with you in a collaborative process to ensure a custom interior that conveys your unique story.

Of course we want you to be thrilled with the finished product, but we want you to feel likewise about the process. We believe in honesty—we don’t conceal pricing; we don’t hide commissions. And we put an emphasis on customer service—the journey is just as important as the destination. We’re providing our clients with a lifestyle and a service—transparency and support are the cornerstones of our beliefs.

Here’s to going home again,
