The finishes that make
a house feel like home.

Thoughtful furnishings, curated selections, and an eye for the details that bring a space to life — offered as a natural extension of how we build.

A space is never finished until it feels like yours.

Construction is one part of what makes a home extraordinary. The furnishings, the lighting, the textiles and art — these are the layers that give a finished space its character and warmth. Nicholson's decorating service extends the care of our design-build process into every final detail.

What We
Decorate & Furnish:

Every piece we recommend has a reason — the scale of the room, the quality of light, the way a textile will age over time. Our decorating service isn't about trends. It's about finding what belongs in your home and helping it feel complete.

Available as a standalone service or as a natural final phase of any Nicholson renovation.

— Furniture

Pieces selected for proportion, comfort, and how they'll be used every day.

— Lighting

Fixtures and lamps that shape mood and function throughout the home.

— Textiles & Window Treatments

Drapery, upholstery, and soft goods chosen for feel as much as look.

— Wall Finishes & Art

Paint, wallpaper, and artwork that complete the architecture of a room.

— Rugs & Flooring Accents

Layered, underfoot details that tie a space together.

— Accessories & Styling

The final layer — objects, books, and details that make a house feel lived in.

Common Questions

Find answers to common questions about our decorating process, timelines, working with existing pieces, and what to expect when you partner with Nicholson.

We start with an in-home consultation to understand your space, your taste, and your goals. From there, our designers curate selections across furniture, lighting, textiles, and art, guiding you through every decision until the room feels complete. Nicholson then manages the entire fulfillment process — ordering each piece, coordinating delivery timelines, and overseeing placement and installation — so your space comes together seamlessly, without you having to manage a single vendor.

Not at all. While decorating is a natural final phase of any Nicholson renovation, it's also available as a standalone service. Whether you're furnishing a new space or refreshing one that's been overlooked, our design team can help.

Yes. Many clients have pieces they love and want to build around. We're happy to incorporate existing furniture, art, or heirlooms into a new design rather than starting from scratch.

Timelines vary based on the scope of the room and the lead time on custom or special-order pieces. A single room can often be designed in a matter of weeks, while a full-home project may take several months.

No. Many clients come to us with a general sense of how they want a space to feel, not a defined style. Our designers will help translate that feeling into specific selections.

Decorating services are billed hourly. You'll know the rate and estimated design hours upfront.  We provide clear updates as the design and selections process progresses, so there are no surprises in your invoice.

A Warm, Personal Experience

We believe the process matters just as much as the result. That's why you'll experience the same personal attention, clear communication, and respect for your investment that defines our design-build work.

We listen carefully. We explain thoughtfully. And we remain hands-on through delivery, installation, and final styling — so nothing feels rushed or unresolved.
