Residential Interior Design — NY · CT · VT · SC
Rooms built with the same care as their foundation.
Nicole Lio Design shapes warm, livable interiors — grounded in twenty years of hands-on construction and an interior design education, so every room is as sound as it is beautiful.
Philosophy
From the foundation up.
Before Nicole Lio Design, there were twenty years of poured concrete foundations. That background shows up in every project — an instinct for what a space needs structurally, paired with an eye trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology for color, texture, and proportion. The result is design that looks effortless because the groundwork was never skipped.
Grounded
Two decades in construction means a working knowledge of how rooms are actually built — not just how they look on a mood board.
Considered
A warm, natural palette and an FIT-trained eye for texture, scale, and finish, tailored to how you actually live.
Personal
A small, residential-only practice — every client works directly with Nicole, start to finish.
