Welcome to the Nest Designs blog. I’ve been itching to start a blog for years so I’m thrilled it’s finally happened!
I plan to share all sorts of fun things I come across in my work as an Interior Stylist. I plan to share inspirational images, DIY projects, design advice and so much more.
A bit about me: My name is Emma, I live in Sydney and am obsessed with interior design and online shopping. I have an addiction to Etsy and regularly hang out at the letterbox waiting for the postman. I collect décor magazines and use them as a lamp stand next to my bed. I’ve worked as an Online Stylist for an online homewares & furniture store and as a Property Stylist prior to starting Nest Designs. I also work as a homewares buyer a few days a week too so I’m totally immersed in the home and lifestyle industry!
I started Nest Designs in Feb 2011 because I’d always wanted to be able to work on my own projects with my own clients and I knew I wanted to offer my services online. I also noticed a gap in the market for affordable interior design services and I wanted to help homeowners on a tight budget but wanting to style their homes and also those in rural areas that don’t have easy access to interior design advice so I started offering e-decorating mood boards which allow my clients to picture how their home will look, suggests furniture items that will compliment their existing décor or give general design advice for their home. It’s nearly been a year since I launched the site and have met so many wonderful clients and helped them with all sorts of decorating dilemmas and hope that I’ll continue to be able to help people turn their homes into lovely spaces they enjoy coming home to.
To celebrate the launch of my blog, Hookturn Industries is kindly giving away 5 BYO coffee cups! To enter just leave a comment below telling me what you’d like to see on the blog. Competition ends 6pm Feb 16th 2012.
Love the insight into celebrity homes!! Actually I love great design! So just more of it!! Oh and the website looks awesome!! Thanks for the sneak peak!! Sweet Mugs!!
The site looks great but i would like to see a lack of capitals. I HATE writing in all caps. It’s like you’re shouting. Which is not the vibe I get from the rest of the page.
Just a thought.
And I love the mugs! 😀
Oh great point Stretchy Princess! Thank you!!
Fabulous work Miss Nest!! Very exciting times x
Just lots of pics of beautifully designed rooms. Before & after shots are always good as well, maybe some of your own work. Thanks!!
The use of pre-loved and re-worked pieces in new spaces. Everything old is new again…. And I just love a competition!

Hi Emma, I have been absolutely hanging out for your new website. I came across your old website awhile ago and love the idea of your services.

In North Queensland, it is very difficult to source furniture apart from what the chain store type shops offer. I have a feeling I could be contacting you in the future!
Would love to help you out Lauren!
