Your space influences your well-being in profound ways. That’s why we are passionate about helping you craft a home that is both functional and beautiful.

Serving Northwest Arkansas, Nico Interior Design offers a full range of interior architecture and design services for custom home, remodel and decorating projects.

We specialize in kitchen, master bathroom and closet design, as well as children's bedrooms and play areas, personalizing each space with unique architectural elements, built-ins, materials, fixtures, color and décor.

But we don’t stop at small spaces – we provide end-to-end interior architecture and design services for your entire home, working with your builder to create the house of your dreams. We develop technical and architectural plans to ensure your interior space is crafted with excellence. To top it off, we decorate the completed space to complement its architectural features.

Whether your design style is traditional, transitional, contemporary or modern, our philosophy is to create tailor-made spaces that consider how you use the space, your personal taste and how it fits with the architecture of the home.
