Laura Nicolson
Interior Designer
“There’s a real craft in designing bespoke joinery—it’s where creativity meets precision. I love the process of drawing each element, considering proportion, purpose, and how it will sit within the architecture.
When storage is beautifully designed and tailored to how a client lives, it doesn’t just solve a problem—it enhances the whole experience of the home.”
Originally trained as a printed textile designer at Edinburgh College of Art, Laura went on to launch her own interiors label before retraining at the renowned KLC School of Design.
Laura’s approach is grounded in listening, collaboration, and attention to detail. She works across a wide range of properties—from contemporary new builds to Georgian estates—bringing each one to life through thoughtful layouts, tailored furniture plans, and carefully layered materials and colours.
Whether helping to transform a blank canvas into a welcoming home or reimagining the flow of an existing space, Laura is known for making the process feel calm, clear and enjoyable. Her clients often remark on her professionalism, creativity, and intuitive understanding of their needs.
“Design isn’t about imposing a style—it’s about revealing the potential in a space and helping clients feel completely at home in it.”
Based in Tonbridge, Laura works throughout Kent, London and East Sussex.
What clients say about Laura
Interior Design, Tonbridge
“We decided to seek the help of Decorbuddi when we moved into our new build house in Kent. It was a complete blank space where we needed to buy lots of new furniture and we didn’t know where to start. We were assigned the help of Laura who helped us with two rooms; bedroom and lounge. She talked to us about what we wanted and then put together a plan with layouts and a range of colour schemes, fabrics and ideas to start the process.
We felt she very quickly found what our style was and tapped into the look that we wanted for both rooms. We are so happy with the outcome for both rooms and are really impressed with the personal service and the level of skill and knowledge we got from Laura. We now love spending time in the rooms that Decorbuddi has helped us with and regularly comment on how lovely they look and feel to be in .We would definitely recommend their service.”

“Laura at Decorbuddi has been completely invaluable. As a first time buyer, having purchased a slightly dated 90s new build flat I was overwhelmed by the amount of work that needed to be done. Laura provided design and project advice and helped me throughout every stage of the process. She was extremely responsive and quickly learned my design aesthetic. I have complete trust in Laura and the advice that she was giving me – she even got me out of my comfort zone with the introduction of patterns!!
I couldn’t recommend Decorbuddi or Laura highly enough – if I am lucky enough to purchase another home, she will be the first one I call!”

“I can’t compliment you both (Laura & Ann) enough for the service, professionalism and friendliness you’ve given over last few months.
You have made a challenging time very straightforward for my family and I, and I’m really grateful to you both for making things so less stressful.
We are delighted with the end product and are much happier and comfortable in our ‘new’ home. Thank you!”
