Emma Collins reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I would just like to say thank you to Nikki for her brilliant online interiors course! With Nikki's guidance you work through the course modules and homeworks, which all come together to help you discover your personal style so that your finished design is exactly what you want and love. Nikki is very supportive and full of industry knowledge and ideas to guide you to create your ideal scheme. I found the weekly phone calls reassuring as Nikki helped me refine the ideas that I was creating, adding in design tips or suggesting simple changes that I hadn't thought of, then sending me links to explore my ideas further. Week by week everything fell into place to create my finished scheme. With Nikki's guidance I have changed my lounge from a room that "never felt right"to a room that I truly love. I now have the modules and design process ready to use for the next room in our house. Thank you so much Nikki for such a great course!"

"Thank you Nikki! For your wonderful course content, and for your amazing support throughout! I'm reasonably confident with decorating and colour - but I'm SO pleased I signed up for the course! It was a bit of a treat, as we'd just moved to a new house and a blank canvas to put my stamp on. I had lots of ideas for some rooms - but was really stuck on the main Living Room - the room I chose to work on through the course. I loved the way Nikki starts you off by digging in to find your own personal 'Style' - so before you make any decorating decisions, you know where to find inspiration, understand what's authentic for you, and know what will make you happy to 'live with'! Once you know what your foundation is - making choices is so much easier - and exciting as you see it all falling into place! The course is beautifully structured, so you build the scheme gradually - and the weekly calls with Nikki were so supportive - inspiring - reassuring - all at your own pace, and challenging in a really good way. Things I thought didn't need changing, became obvious that they did - to stay true to my 'style' - she just asks you the right questions, so you discover for yourself! I am so happy with the result! And confident that I've made the right choices so that as I work through the rest of the house, I will be able to create a consistent flow - and have the course to work through again to support the creative process. Just fabulous! - loved working with you Nikki xxx"

Lisa reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I found this course very well structured and informative, especially for those totally new to interior design like myself! I thought I might find it a bit daunting as I’m not naturally very creative but the online course material, alongside Nikki’s tuition, provided everything I needed to know in an easily digestible format. Nikki was always on hand to answer questions and guide my progress. I now feel much more confident and equipped to plan the interior design for our new house and can’t wait to get started!"

Ellie reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I've just completed the 5 week interior design course with Nikki and loved every minute. Nikki is incredibly knowledgeable and full of ideas. She was there every step of the journey to guide me through the design process. I finished the course with a complete redesign of my bedroom, which I love. I now feel very well equipped to start the redecoration process and then work my way through redesigning every other room of my house. I highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in interior design, or to someone who wants to change their house but doesn't know where to start. Thank you, Nikki, you're amazing! xx"

Emily Doherty reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I enrolled on Nikki’s course when COVID lockdown blues were at an all time high. I needed something to help make me feel engaged, connected and creative. And I’m so very thankful I found this course. We were in the middle of a loft conversion and renovation where lots of the decorating choices had been rushed and I was keen to carve out one room that I could take my time with and would have some design control over. The course was supposed to take 5 weeks - but with mothering, working and trying to carve out time for the course Nikki was completely flexible and accommodating and allowed me the time I needed to undertake the readings, tasks and homework’s at my own pace. The phone consultations, which happen at the end of each week were an all time highlight - bespoke, supportive, encouraging and educational. I couldn’t have asked for better. I loved the course materials and have been revisiting them as I refine the design for the room I chose to work on and I’m reassured to know I have that knowledge now going forwards for other parts of the house that need decorating or styling. I did this for fun and it was - Nikki is utterly fabulous! Go on ... treat yourself!"

Keeley reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I am midway through my first house renovation and I find interior design comes naturally to me, however I wanted to work with a professional to push myself and my designs.... in comes Nikki. Her attitude and encouragement were amazing, and I found myself looking forward to our weekly discussions. She goes above what you would expect and I found her to be genuinely interested in my progress and design. Nothing is too much trouble and she would actively send me extra links/websites if she believed it would help me. I would say the course has helped me discover my own style and be able to break down the process of design. It is an excellent course that Nikki easily tailors to suit the students needs, whether that be a novice or aspiring interior designer. I cannot recommend this course enough!"

Jade Brown reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I signed up to Nikki’s 5 week interiors course as I wanted to pull interior schemes together in a coherent, organised way. The course modules are easy to understand and full of insight. Each week Nikki spends time going through your ideas, colours, images and gets you to really think about why you have chosen these things and how they work together. Nikki is so kind and easy to chat with. Also full of industry knowledge, Nikki was able to offer ideas to add to my design that I never would have thought of. I now have the modules to go back over time and time again so I will never forget the skills I have learnt."

Jo Hague reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I loved every step of the way with this Interior Design Course. Nikki was an exceptional tutor. She has a vast amount of knowledge and experience that helped enormously when I needed support. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She was enthusiastic and so encouraging about my project on the lounge and gave precious advice for future projects that I may undertake in time. I have always been interested in interior design but never fully understood the basic principles. This course shows you all the 'do's and don'ts' to designing. Now I feel much more confident in designing my own home but also have a far larger understanding when viewing certain programmes on television, listening to podcasts and generally talking to others. Thank you Nikki, a great value course."

Caroline Kulik reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"Every room in our house needs decorating and it's quite overwhelming! After hiring an Interior designer last year to help us get started, I realised I loved the design process and wanted to learn more. I love interiors but I lacked confidence and had no idea where to start! I was looking for a course I could do from home, that could fit around my job and had some 121 support. Nikki has created a fantastic course! The modules are easy to follow, full of great tips and advice. I felt guided every step of the way and it was so rewarding applying the learning to my home. The phone calls with Nikki were so helpful and she was always incredibly supportive and encouraging! I now feel a lot more confident with my design choices, my style has evolved and I'm ready to take on the rest of the house. So if you've been thinking about doing a course like this, do it! I can't recommend it enough!"

Toby Crutchley reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"Having just lived into a new house before lockdown, we had a room that needed redesigning to work as both dining space and relaxation nook. Daunted at the task ahead and determined not to end up with a bland result or attack it piecemeal, I found Nikki’s online Design course and jumped at the chance. From the outset Nikki was fab talking though how it will work and then on to Week 1. The course content is really great and helps you to work through your homework and inspire you to challenge preconceptions around colour and more. The weekly hour calls with Nikki really help solidify what you have learnt and help in your direction if unsure or a bit lost. Now, at the end of the course I have a fully formed mood board, colour palette and a direction to complete a room I can be proud to say ‘I designed this’. The course also helped me get the right colours for a bedroom in terms of paint and carpet which looks great for a quick small project. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone thinking of designing/decorating a room or house to consider Nikki’s course."

Carole Ayres reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"We are in the process of building a new house and the thought of decorating every room was a bit daunting. I didn’t want to paint everything white! When Nikki’s online course popped up on my Facebook page - it was perfect. The course material provided by Nikki was extremely helpful and focused my ideas. I decided to start with the living room and working through the course material helped me to decide on colours and design. Nikki’s weekly phone call to discuss my homework was particularly valuable as she shared her abundant knowledge and inspiration and helped me to refine my ideas. I can definitely recommend this course - it is both inspirational and practical. Also the fact that you have a weekly one to one phone call to discuss your ideas and to have support, makes it stand out from other courses. Thanks to Nikki, I am now more confident and excited to design the rest of the rooms in my new house."

Carol Collins reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I mentioned to Nikki that I was looking to revamp my lounge & she suggested, especially in these trying times, that I give her on line design course a go. At first I was a bit dubious as I'm not the creative type. Nikki was there every step of the way to help with some fab ideas. Soon my colour palette was established and I then began growing ideas on Pinterest. Everything was on hand from day 1, from learning materials to Zoom calls. Nikki holds a great repertoire of knowledge and experience which I put to the test during the course, only having a small area to redesign, I was limited on creativity, with Nikki's help we were able to work through problems. I was going to start the revamp in the Spring but my enthusiasm got the better of me, I have now, with help from my husband, painted the lounge, I am very pleased with the results and once we come out of lockdown I can continue to create my dream lounge, dressing it with furniture, curtains etc. I would recommend the on line course as you can work at your own pace and there is no pressure. Thank you Nikki."

Joanne Huckster reviewed: Design a room in your home with weekly one to one consultations

"I have just finished designing my master bedroom on Nikki’s online interior design course and I loved every minute of it! Nikki made redesigning my room fun and stress-free, and being able to discuss my homework and journey with Nikki at the end of each week was also particularly helpful. She has an abundance of knowledge and inspiration and her passion for interiors just motivates you to a level that you just want to keep on learning! Although this is an online course, Nikki made it extremely personal with her one on one support and encouragement. It’s also extremely good value bearing in mind you are getting help and guidance from a professional interior designer in addition to the whopping amount of resource material you are sent with each weekly assignment; and what’s more I am able to reuse the step by step process time and time again on other projects in my home. Definitely a five star interior design online course. Thank you."

Tracey Prust reviewed: A day of interior design

"I have just completed a five week interior design course with Nikki. I now have a mood board created with all my ideas. Inspired by Nikki’s interactive and professional teaching and complete with a scaled drawing, with new found confidence I feel ready to transform my bedroom. Nikki creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in her beautiful, inspirational home to learn these invaluable skills, complete with delicious coffee and tea cakes. Over five very enjoyable weeks, not only have I learnt a lot but I feel I have also made a new friend Thank you Nikki, I loved every minute."

Erika Jones reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I absolutely loved Nikki's 5 week interior décor course and I would highly recommend anyone looking to combine learning the rudiments of the profession with working on their own live project to enrol! Nikki is highly creative and an exceptional teacher with years of experience behind her, she makes designing a space that fits you easy and fun. I was initially nervous about working with a designer because I didn’t have a huge budget and I had my own ideas and opinions about what I wanted. Nikki showed me so many ways of achieving great design on what she calls “a shoestring budget”. Her course is a fab and an extremely cost effective way of getting a professional scheme put together for far less a cost than if I were to have commissioned an interior designer to do the whole job. I had a deadline to complete the project which I must admit I was panicking about but with Nikki's weekly to do list and homework the time frames were achieved easily. Nikki is someone that goes over and above, and often keeps in touch during the week through emails and with inspiring information on her social media pages. I can't wait to enrol on another one of her creative courses again!"

Jessica Lansdown reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"This is an absolutely amazing course. I have just finished my 5 weeks with Nikki and I feel so inspired, as I have learnt so much about interior design and have a concept design sorted in such a short space of time. I worked on the design of my holiday cottage which is now looking rather dated. I had to learn the difference between designing for myself and for my guests. Nikki's experience in commercial interior design was significant and I felt in very capable hands. This was an extremely cost effective solution to our projects interior refresh, as we had the benefit of a professional interior designer overseeing our ideas, and more importantly our budget. Nikki was also able to recommend suppliers, contractors and has her own “little Black book” of interior suppliers which students on the course are given access to. The level of tuition was excellent, Nikki is a great teacher and managed to adapt her syllabus to fit our project and learning needs superbly. I could not recommend Nikki and her course more highly."

"Had a fantastic time on Nikki’s interior design course. Did not have a clue how to put colours and different designs together. Now I have my mood board and have been totally inspired. Will definitely be back to learn more. Thank you so much Nikki!! The tea and cake were nice too x Heather Stroud"

Jo Austin reviewed: A day of interior design

"“My sister and I really enjoyed the day, being novices in this field. It opened our eyes to the detail involved in the world of interior design. The underpinning knowledge to consider when starting a project will be invaluable going forwards; and the practical tasks during the course made the day fun and interactive. Nikki was warm and welcoming and we both really enjoyed spending time with her, her obvious wealth of knowledge and experience of interior design made us feel like we were in highly qualified hands. We left feeling very excited about starting our projects.” Jo Austin, London"

"I’ve just finished the 5 week interior design course and it really was amazing. I learnt an incredible amount and Nikki was a fantastic teacher. The learning environment is gorgeous and Nikki really does go the extra mile to make sure you get the very most out of the experience. It was an incredibly inspiring course, so much so that, I have enrolled on an interior design distance learning course to continue my studies. I really can’t recommend the course more highly."

Mr and Mrs Cooper reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"My husband and I enrolled on Nikki’s 5 week Interior Décor Course so we could get to grips with the redesign of our lounge and dining areas, a project we had been putting off for some time. Nikki met us in our home and took us through the many principles and stages of interior décor. We had no idea it was such a complex subject. Over the 5 week period she expertly guided us and helped us determine our concept, colour schemes and finishes, helped us with our selection of furniture, wallpapers and flooring, and in the design and positioning of bespoke cabinets and shelving so every inch of our space was used to maximum effect. The course helped us understand: - the architectural elements of a room and how they appear in their space. - how light affects colour, and the best colours to choose for our room’s aspect. - the qualities that make up the most common Interior styles and how to achieve “the look” within our space. - the different types of lighting and how best to utilise them for best effect within our room. Nikki also organised visits to local lighting, flooring and furniture showrooms and assisted us with making up our final finishes and fixture boards. We never dreamed there was so much to learn, sort and organise but with Nikki’s help and advice we felt totally at ease and in safe hands. She has immeasurable experience and a real passion to help, teach, guide and inspire. This course is a must for students who would like an introduction to interiors or for anybody wanting to learn the rudiments of interior décor, whilst realising the design of their own space.

Sharon Hobson reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I did Nikki’s 5 week interior decor course in the summer - I really didn’t want the course to end & so much looked forward each week to my 3 hours with Nikki. I learned so much - measuring accurately, drawing to scale & my favourite, creating mood boards - in fact 5, I had a very big house project! Nikki is such a lovely lady & great tutor - she listens to your ideas & gives advice. It was great fun looking at beautiful rooms in magazines for inspiration & finding colour palettes. Now I’m putting everything I learnt into practice & can’t wait to see the results. So if you’re looking for a design course don’t hesitate to check out one of Nikki’s fab ones at Flock interiors."

Katie Wallis reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I have thoroughly enjoyed each week of this interior decor course and I have learnt so much. What I particularly like about the course is that you are able to bring along a real live project to work on and apply Nikki’s teaching to it. This is quite unique, I haven’t found another course that offers this type of training. There is a small amount of homework set each week but nothing too challenging and if you’re unable to get the work completed Nikki is quite flexible in rescheduling dates. Nikki has so much experience you really feel like you’re in safe hands and she goes over and above helping you to realise your interior dreams. I couldn’t recommend this course enough."

Jill holding reviewed: Interior design and decor onsite 5 week course

"I recently bought a flat which needed complete renovation – being located on the top floor meant the rooms were unusual in shape and proved quite a design challenge. I was lucky enough to find Nikki who completely opened my eyes to interior design. Nikki ran an informative interior decor & design course where I learnt over the course of 5 weeks how to design my own flat – I learnt about colour, lighting, texture and so much more – I now have the most amazing home which i truly love, and in Nikki I have found a lovely friend. If you would like to learn the rudiments of interior decor whilst designing your own space i would highly recommend this course and Nikki’s warm, knowledgeable and fun way of teaching."
