Sobre nosotros

Simply put a “House Doctor” is a degree qualified individual, usually from a strategic design or real estate/property background, with a certain blend of skill, diplomacy and knowledge of which, when applied will significantly improve and transform a home into a profitable and pleasing asset. The House Doctor is the science behind good property presentation, functionality and style. As a degree qualified Interior Designer, and practicing House Doctor, working with me not only guarantees you a stunning visual result, your home will function with ease and thus add value to your most valuable assets, your health and your home. “Next to your health your property is your biggest asset, it stands to reason that investing in your home from bones to beauty in a similar vein is a necessity not a luxury” My pragmatic style is to peruse the aesthetic efficacy in every project – the result has to be a visual feast but always functional and cost effective; I believe that enriching my understanding of the past as well as the present relationship between client and home is the key to providing a richer vocabulary in the future. Whilst I have an active interest in current Global trends, I am not interested in following a trend in the name of fashion, each space and client is unique. I have a deep respect for the past masters and truly believe that great design is functional, timeless and a true reflection of individual style and character. There is no cookie cutter approach to my work and often rules are there to be broken! With Knowledge and guiding principles any functional problem can be solved simply and elegantly – always resulting in timeless honesty.

Nadia has given us exactly the help we needed in our new home! We weren’t familiar with the title of “House Doctor”, but it sounded like exactly what we needed, and she was perfect for us! She knows just how to guide and assist, without taking over (unless that’s what you want her to do)! She knew exactly when to chime in with new ideas, or helpful direction, and especially sourcing of things or recommendation of people we weren’t able to find on our own. She was very perceptive about our needs and tastes, very respectful of our choices and personalities, and always allowed us our own time and process to reach the decisions that suited us best. Her pricing is extremely reasonable and fair. Worth every penny, and often saved us money in the long run. She was so warm and lovely to work with, keeping us encouraged by acknowledging our progress along the way, and always providing just the spark that we needed, just when we needed it. We really struck gold when we found Nadia!

Wow, thank you for such kind and heartwarming words Patty. It honestly make my work as a House Doctor so worth while when I know I am truly adding value to a clients unique and special journey with their home.

Nadia was prompt, friendly, reliable and had amazing follow up to my questions following our meeting. I LOVE her suggestions and what I have learned from her and the contacts she has referred me to. Already getting comments on how fab the house looks :)

I have used Nadia three times and I have greatly appreciated her wide skill set. We were impressed with her simple change in the positioning of furniture to make a room instantly "work", to suggestions of purchasing other pieces that perfectly completed the look. When a room didn't work Nadia could instantly suggest a colour that would transform the energy and warmth in a room. We bought some time with Nadia for a friend as a Xmas gift (a gift that keeps on giving!!!) and in that instance I saw the breadth of her knowledge, with her suggesting logical changes to the house floor plan and advice on building changes. Nadia is highly skilled, a professional with an engaging manner and energy. I would use her again without hesitation as mistakes can be costly and it has always benefitted me to get a plan to work towards.

I would highly recommend The House Doctor for any alteration big or small. Nadia is very creative and professional and has a wonderful eye for adding value to any project. Whether it be a traditional or modern brief Nadia can design to your needs with absolute style. She engages with professional and friendly teams who she manages to bring the job to fruition with ease.

Nadia is delightful to deal with, very professional and has some excellent suggestions. She actually saved my sanity by giving us a direction in which to head with revamping our home, and her clever ideas for the kitchen literally saved us thousands of dollars. Nadia provided us with colour swatches and samples to refer to which enabled us to continue with her 'plan' on our own.

We first used Nadia from The House Doctor for the exterior color scheme at our previous property. In addition she gave much needed clarity on some interior soft furnishing choices and designed a gorgeous bespoke hall runner from The Ivy Room which has received many compliments. Nadia has an intuitive and creative flair, and a distinctly bold eye for picking what her client likes and is not afraid to push the boundaries with color in furniture and art. I love what she has helped us achieve with our new home transforming it from a dated 1930's house with lots of dark wood features into the fresh contemporary and stylish home we have now. We are over the moon with the result. Nadia took the stress out of deciding a color palette, soft furnishings, lighting and furniture pieces all within a short time frame. She is extremely professional, approachable and seems to love what she does. We highly recommend Nadia's services to anyone needing advice from a talented interior designer,

We have recently completed a brand new house build and Nadia was a huge contributor to the project. Of all the people we had working for us she was probably the best value for money by far! She has a real talent for understanding what a client is looking for and how to deliver it. We were continually amazed at how clever she was at sourcing interesting materials and items for the interior that we would have spent weeks looking for. She was also brilliant at helping us at a moments notice for a few urgent issues that came up and we really appreciated her dedication to the project and professional approach. She has a special gift when it comes to interior design and we would recommend her highly. She is really lovely person and hence easy to work with. Best of luck Nadia and thanks a million!

Nadia provided us with valuable advice and guidance with regard to making our brand new house really feel like a home. Nadia sourced some key pieces for our living areas that tied these spaces together and brought them alive. She listened carefully to our needs, concerns, likes and dislikes and came up with a concept that really reflected the style that we wanted (even though going in to it we didn't know what we wanted!) Her advice has allowed us to create living and sleeping spaces that we love and also provided us with the tools to make choices that will further complement these areas in the future. All in all a very worthwhile experience and one which we would definitely repeat.

Nadia was extremely helpful in putting together an interiors plan for our new beach house. She listened to my ideas and came up with suggestions that really reflected the look I was after and kept within our budget. The end result is a warm and inviting home that we love to spend time in. I have no hesitation in recommending Nadia to others.

Nadia was recommended to us by a friend and her investment into our home has been better than we could ever have imagined. She was quick to work out who we were and what would fit our lifestyle. We so appreciated having her very valid suggestions and yet working within what we felt we could manage at the time. She is very creative, very clever, very efficient and reliable. And what we appreciated also was that she did not try to push us into a certain trend but worked within the character and integrity of our home. We wanted it to retain its history , yet be updated and freshened up as well. She has such a great eye and is confident in herself which made us feel confident too. She Is very good with colour and with fabrics. And Nadia was so reasonable in her pricing and also allowed us to email her if we did have some concerns. To be perfectly honest Nadia was gold to us and we are still thoroughly enjoying all the suggestions that she made and which we put into action. We could certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a wholistic approach to their home . kay Copley

I engaged Nadia last year to help with an impending house renovation and she has been the best investment I have made in my home to date! She is lovely to work with, practical when it comes to finding cost effective options to suit your budget without compromising style, and very talented at providing clarity with regards to you interiors style and personality. I also really appreciated her holistic approach to the energy flow of the property and her recommendations have contributed to a better nights sleep. I am still waiting on my renovations to start but will following up with Nadia again to make sure we are making the right choices along the way. I would highly recommend her.

Nadia worked on our major villa renovation last year and in short, she was brilliant. I initially envisaged she would just help us with some paint colours but she quickly became integral to the project team and significantly contributed to the overall project management. Nadia was indispensable in many ways, including: a great ability to convert her overall design and "vision" for how the finished house would look into action; developing an amazing colour palette and beautiful room designs; sourcing trusted sub-contractors, fittings & furniture at a trade rate which she passed on to us; co-ordinating and chasing multiple subcontractors to meet required time-frames; suggesting innovative ideas for re-cycling existing features and furniture; never "dropping the ball" and always following up on outstanding issues; dealing with unplanned contingencies with good humour and pragmatism; keeping a close eye on budget and reining-in sub-contractors where required; being very consultative and a great communicator; taking the time to get to know us and what we wanted, which enabled us to more easily make decisions.
