Welcome to
Nikki Hogan
Interior Design
I never planned to be an interior designer, but looking back, it makes perfect sense. My nanna, Shirl, had an incredible eye for creating a beautiful home, and growing up in country Victoria, I was surrounded by nature’s raw beauty—wide-open spaces, organic textures, and effortless charm.
My path started in the corporate world, where I thrived on fast-paced challenges and high standards. But it was during maternity leave with my first child, Kahleesi, that everything shifted. Binge-watching Fixer Upper sparked a passion I couldn’t ignore. One project turned into another, and ten years later—after too many renovations to count—I couldn’t be happier.
From mowing lawns at 15 with my first business to designing custom interiors, I’ve always been drawn to creating something with my own hands. Now a qualified interior designer, I’ve been featured in the Australian Design Review and collaborated with The Basin Lab to design a bespoke cylinder basin.
With a signature style blending country warmth and urban sophistication, I craft spaces that are timeless, elevated, and deeply personal. No cookie-cutter solutions—just thoughtful, intentional design that reflects who you are.

“Nikki is a gem! I stumbled on her Instagram and wonder if my late mother sent her to me to help me with the biggest move of my life without her (she was the designer of our family, a natural). Nikki could not have been a better fit for us. No games, no agendas- just genuine excitement for us pre purchase (our free 15 min call where we clicked instantly like old friends) and throughout the settlement and move. She really listens to what matters to the families she’s designing for, doesn’t push anything on you and honestly just takes the stress away from all the processes that are overwhelming. She worked hand in hand with our amazing building team to make sure everything was streamlined and took our budget seriously. She also lined everything up so efficiently with them so we didn’t have to long before cosmetic renovations and moving in. All the while her bubbly, kind and positive personality exude through. She is very sentimental and honored my mum in so many meaningful ways throughout the house. She is generous with her time and what she has access to. We loved every bit of our process with her and feel so grateful that she was there to guide us into making our forever home extra special (practical and beautiful). She is very talented and worth her weight in gold. As I told her, she’s family now- sorry (not sorry), your stuck with us for life! Thank you so much for all you’ve done, it meant the world.”

“Nikki was amazing and I will be engaging her service. Nikki Patiently listened whilst I ran through ideas and problem areas in my home. She was able to build on my ideas, creating a vision that suited my family. The two hours flew by, so the opportunity to follow up with Nikki across the following week was valuable. No question was too hard and Nikki was brilliant to work with. I highly recommend!”

“Nikki has been a true professional from start to finish. Nikki has provided ideas that I would never have thought of. Without her guiding hand, my house would look like an average home with none of my personality being reflected. Nikki, you come highly recommend to all my family and friends and all new potential customers. You have gone above and beyond”

It has been such an enjoyable experience working with Nikki to re-style our inner-city apartment. Nikki's bright personality and passion, her keen eye for detail and style, easy communication style and collaborative approach made the process so engaging.
Always generous with her time, Nikki created a concept that truly reflects our lifestyle and inner city vibe, transforming our apartment into a stylish and liveable home that has exceeded our expectations. I would have no hesitation recommending her her for any interior design/styling project.
Sanctuary
“To all out there, I hired Nikki to help me design my forever home, my sanctuary. I have to say I’ve been blessed with one of the most genuine, kind and talented interior designers I’ve ever met. I have worked with Nikki for a year and a half and she made my life so much easier with choice, decisions, and quality to fit my home and my actual dream of a sanctuary. I’m so grateful to have this beautiful home. She listened and absolutely understood where I was at. I was so confused and couldn’t project what I wanted and Nikki just knew. It was a comfortable feeling to have somebody that knows their stuff to a tee that makes your life easier. I want to thank you so much Nikki for being there making my absolute dream come true. Everybody, Nikki Hogan Designs, YOU ALL NEED A DESIGNER!!!! I’m so grateful to you and your amazing work.”

We have had the pleasure to work with Nikki to finish off the look we wanted to create in our house.
We looked at her reviews and decided "no one can be that good...they are fake reviews" (Now here we are writing one, how Ironic) So we decided to meet her and make up our own minds.
We weren't expecting to engage her, however during the initial consultation she listened to what we wanted, and then created a brief and schedule showing us how each room would look with her recommendations and did this all within our budget.
The great thing about Nikki is her professionalism, her eye for detail and being able to look at the pieces you have that can be incorporated into your style with some new additions. I could not believe that some of the things I was thinking of getting rid of look great when coupled with others to give the look I wanted. My place looks totally different yet exactly like the vision I had in my head. If you are looking to build a new house, it will pay for you to involve an interior designer like Nikki, from build to styling as this will save you heartache, money and get the look you want.

I want to say a big thank you to Nikki for designing my forever home. She did an absolutely amazing job and truly brought my vision to life. From start to finish, she made the whole process so much easier and turned it into something exciting and enjoyable.
She took all the stress off me. Before working with Nikki, I was going to the shops every weekend, feeling lost and overwhelmed. I couldn't make decisions, and it was just making me more stressed and frustrated. But once Nikki stepped in, everything became so much easier.
Nikki is fantastic to work with. She's very kind and understanding, and just a beautiful person inside and out. I'm so grateful for her support, her creativity, and her professionalism. Thank you so much again Nikki.

“Your ability to fuse my husbands' requests and my own dreams and come up with something so homely and spectacular took my breath away, I don’t want to seem surprised but it takes another level of professional to impress me this way, everyone needs you in their home!”

Nikki was a pleasure from start to finish, putting up with a lot of questions and finding the balance between what my partner and I want. We were a bit scared to hire someone, thinking interior designers were only for people who live in Toorak. But it ended up being so helpful to have someone help us work out exactly what we wanted and what was possible within a budget and help us get an accurate quote from builders. Also I tend to clutter and go a bit extravagant and Nikki helped tone me down to create a nice calm canvas for me to put all my clutter in
