Wendy Nicholls

Spear’s Review

Wendy Nicholls is a force to be reckoned with in the world of interiors.

With over four decades of experience, Nicholls intimately understands the significance of interior design to clients and the impact it has on a space. ‘The important thing is letting your individuality come across. It’s a very emotional thing,’ she says.

Nicholls joined Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler in 1976, and she worked closely alongside Tom Parr before stepping up to run her own design team. Her textiles background aligns with her clients’ yen for ‘bespoke handwoven fabrics’, yet her enthusiasm alone seems more than enough to make her a unique, sought-after talent. She has applied her talents to many different projects over the years and has been responsible for designing yachts, chalets, apartments, country estates and villas all over the world.

As for her inspirations, she cheerily points out: ‘Clients – and their houses!’
