I moved to Toronto and bought a new home. I decided to start renovating, but I didn't know where to start. Then I found Barbara of NIKKA DESIGN.
We had our first meeting and discussed my concerns and plans. She prepared a colour scheme for me and gave me many ideas regarding furniture, lighting, etc...
Now, the work has all been completed and I am amazed at the transformation.
I found Barbara to be professional, knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. Thanks, Barbara.

When we first thought about redecorating our house, we felt very overwhelmed with where to start the process. Once Barbara came into the picture, all that changed! She used her insight, experience and creativity to develop a decor plan that worked for our taste and budget. More importantly the overwhelming feeling was replaced with excitement. We couldn't wait to get started!

Some people say redecorating/renovating can be a really stressful process but honestly we can't say we really felt that as Barbara was always on top of things and got the work done as needed. She smoothed out any of the bumps!

What stood out to us the most throughout this experience was her attention to detail, flexibility and commitment to excellence. She made our house feel like a home, our home. Thank you Barbara!

I worked with Nikka Design to help furnish and decorate my new condo. I wanted a home that was modern, comfortable and functional. I found Nikka Design to be very attentive to my needs, with a plethora of creative design ideas that were inline with vision. Most of all I appreciated the sound I advice and suggestions I received on vendors and what to look for when making my furniture purchases. It was a pleasure working with Nikka Design. I wholeheartedly recommend their service.

Barbara has been leading the redesign of the Sustainable Condo exhibit and has demonstrated great professionalism, design sense and a good knowledge of green sustainable products. Excited to see the final outcome!

"Barbara was a professional". She kept to her plan and offered us the suggestions that we were looking for. It would have been easy for her to go beyond what I asked for but she held to the needs that I was seeking which is what I wanted. She came prepared and was ready to go into action the moment she arrived. Definitely a professional.

I am a Real Estate Sales Representative in Toronto. I was initially referred to Barbara by a colleague due to her unique focus on not just beautifing homes but using 'Green' products like paints and cleaning supplies when given the oppurtunity. With numerous succesful sales to date and the continued satisfaction from my clients in terms of value for services provided, I not only refer Nikka design, but have encouraged other agents to do the same. Keep up the great work Barbara and I look forward to my next listing that we can work togehter on.
Many thanks

I had a general idea of the colours I wanted for my living/dining area, but felt a little overwhelmed. Barbara helped focus my attention and offered tips on how to finalize the paint choice. She also got me thinking about related issues … such as moving the furniture and reducing the “comfortable clutter” in our living and dining rooms. It meant extra work in the short term, but a more beautiful space in the long run.

A superb designer has 3 strengths
1. A compelling aesthetic and sense of design, while being current and comprehensive
2. An innate willingness to listen and respond with flexible and personalized design counsel.
3 A strong business and project management sense, coupled with absolute insistence on supplier service and quality.
Barbara Nyke is the complete package, She gave us design solutions that we felt were our own but would never have arrived at unaided.
We recommnd her wholeheartedly.

In our initial interview we were “wowed” by Barbara. We realized she was the decorator for us, when after a brief discussion she suggested a simple rearrangement of our living room furniture (which by the way was dynamite!). By probing us with many questions she made sure she understood how we would use each room and she also took the time to learn a little about us so that she could put some of our personality into our home. When it came time to choose material, fabric and art work normally a daunting task, Barbara seemed to select only the samples which had the right “look and feel” for us. While we haven’t finished all the projects, we love what we have created together with Barbara.
She is great to work with and she is someone who cares. Her services have been great and we highly recommend her for any and all decorating projects.

With the purchase of a new home, I knew in advance that I did not have an interest in decorating. The whole process seemed a bit intimidating. I am so happy with my decision to work with Barbara. She provided guidance and advice for all of my needs and challenges. She made the entire process very simple for me. From the initial contact by email to all subsequent meetings, Barbara was always friendly and professional. She was able to help me with space planning, colour selection, and furniture purchases to create a warm environment in my new home. She listened attentively to all of my requests and was able to create an inviting space that fit my timelines and my budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending [NIKKA] Design for any decorating needs.
