“We wouldn’t have the beautiful home we have if it wasn’t for you.”

Mrs K, Lincolnshire

I spend my time scouring the world for the kind of pieces that you can find, how do you do it?”

Ms F inherited a beautiful country estate from her family. Having studied Fine Art in Florence, and being the kind of steadfast person who trusts her own eye above all else, she was confident that she did not want to work with Nigel to decorate her home. However, Nigel had known her family for many years and sourced artwork and antiques for her Ms F’s siblings. When she saw the pieces that they had in their homes, Ms F soon called again, with Nigel going on to decorate her entire home over the years with the very finest pieces, sourced from all around the world.

“98% of what you bring to me, I know that I will love.”

Lord K, High-End Art Investor, London

This memory will be with me for the rest of my life!

All my life I have struggled to get out of bed in the morning because of my uninspiring, drab environment.  Now, I get out of bed every day with a spring in my step, like a naughty school child, just to look at all the beauty in my house

Mrs J

We would rather buy the beautiful things that you bring us rather than a new car on the drive or a holiday to the Maldives.”

Mr and Mrs M, Grimsby

Thank you for introducing me to a world I knew nothing about.  Next to my wife and children, it has brought me more pleasure than anything else.  After you created the eutopia in our home, we didn’t need to go away anywhere.

Mr H, a self-made joiner, bought a beautiful home but had very little idea on how to decorate it appropriately. Mr and Mrs H used to spend every weekend away in beautiful hotels with stunning interior décor, not knowing how to bring that splendor to their own home. Nigel worked with Mr H to fill his home with the very best antiques and art, redesigning the whole interior. Before he died, Mr H made sure he came to visit Nigel to thank him for their time together designing his home.
