We build spaces that tell stories.

Meet Nikki

"Interior design has always been in my DNA. Growing up with a realtor mom and a general contractor dad, I was constantly surrounded by the world of homes—I just wasn't sure where I'd fit in. After 20 years in the beauty industry developing products that helped people feel their best, I realized my eye for aesthetics and project management skills were a natural fit for design.

That connection became clear during a full renovation of my Long Beach, California home. When a move back to my North Carolina roots prompted us to list it, the home sold in a single weekend—well over asking and setting a neighborhood record. When several buyers asked if it had been professionally designed and staged, everything clicked. The space I had created with such intention wasn't just beautiful, it had measurable value.

Today, through Erika Nicole Interiors, I bring that same thoughtful, intentional approach to every project—whether it's styling a home for sale or creating spaces that feel deeply personal and lived-in. My background ensures your project runs smoothly, stays on budget, and always feels collaborative and transparent."
