In this episode, we’re joined by Nickolas Gurtler in today’s episode – an award-winning Interior Designer who has fast become renowned for his bold and luxurious style.
Nickolas’ journey didn’t start with blueprints and fabric swatches—it began in the fast-paced, visually rich world of merchandising, where every display told a story. He shares with us how those early days shaped his fearless approach to design, where luxury and boldness take center stage.
He takes us behind the scenes, from tackling the delicate balance between client dreams and his own creative vision, why to avoid trends, as well as the choices that he believes matter most— like the importance of lighting, tactile experiences, when to edit/pivot and the role of moodboards in creating cohesive spaces.
Nickolas explains why taking risks can completely transform a space and why you should take the leap, because thoughtful design connects people to their homes in ways they might not expect. He shares his practical tips to help you to bring your own bold ideas to life.
So if you’ve ever wanted to ditch the safe choices and make bolder design moves, this is the conversation that will leave you feeling inspired!
