Services
Barbara's talent, expertise and passion for interior design have contributed to her success designing exquisite interiors for her clients. Over the past 3 years, NIKKA DESIGN has helped us to create a home in which we are both comfortable and awed every day. Barbara has guided us in defining our style and finding the home decor to make it come alive.
We'll discuss your wish list and functional requirements, potential project costs, discuss timelines and provide ideas for you in order to take your project to the next step. Our "Designer By Your Side" package is perfect for you if you value good design. We work with you to ensure you have a well-designed space that fits your needs.
Increase the enjoyment and value of your home with a professionally-designed outdoor retreat. The design and decor can be treated an extension of your home's style. The same design process applies for your outdoor space as it does for designing the inside of your house. It starts with defining the use of the spaces and then creating outdoor spaces complete with floors, walls and floating ceilings/or sun shading.
Barbara is fantastic to work with. She gave excellent ideas that I hadn't thought of to help add storage to our small kitchen. She also gave lots ideas on designing our living room, both economical and mid to high end options. This was my first time working with a house designer but she was very friendly and listened to my ideas and suggested how to execute or how to improve upon them.
Did you know that architects surveyed say that creating an outdoor living space can increase your home's worth by 64%? Take the indoors outside - We can help you to re-imagine your outdoor space as a reflection of your interior decor using a wide range of durable weather-proof fabrics, stunning modern furniture along with outdoor TV's, fireplaces and more and create a living room, kitchen, dining room and lounging zone.

Barbara is very personable and insightful when it comes to sharing decorating ideas. She was an excellent resource as we needed to modernize our current home. She provided my wife and I with a number of referrals to reliable and competent trades people as well to make our life easier. We would not hesitate to recommend her services and look forward to continuing our relationship.

We’ve mobility issues. Barbara took charge of project from soup to nuts...
Major scopes are to ensure condo is fully accessible to include a roll in shower, and removal of all floor transitions where they may exist.
Further, the scopes included converting a 3 bedroom with den suite, into a more open concept 2 bedroom with the kitchen now open to
a great room ( den + converted bedroom). Great job, will not hesitate to work with Barbara again!

Had a great time working with Barbara. She is highly knowledgeable & very professional. I bought a new house and it needed lot of design work especially in Kitchen. As part of her design consultation, she helped me look at each part of house in a very different light, answered lot of my dumb questions, didn’t make me feel stupid and provided me lots of options and recommendations. I feel empowered now ☺ I am so happy that I engaged her. I really look forward to working with her in future too.

For many weeks, I was afflicted with neck, shoulder and back pain; until, I had a design ergonomic consultation with Barbara from Nikka Design.
Barbara summarized it like this: - "If you sit behind a desk for hours at a time, you're not doomed to a career of neck and back pain or sore wrists and fingers. Proper office ergonomics — including correct chair height, adequate equipment spacing and good desk posture — can help you and your joints stay comfortable".
Barbara impressed me with her professionalism, knowledge and ability in conducting my home office ergonomic assessment.

We at Jackson and Associates Inc. cannot say enough good things about Nikka Design. You will not regret working with Barbara Nyke, she gives you her 110%. From beginning to when the job completed she was knowledgeable and professional, she really listened to our clients' needs. Barb's design and spacial planning to utilize the area really made the space come to life. When it came to her ideas and recommendations we love the concepts she brought to the (restaurant) table. She has amazing and stylish paint suggests that will make the whole design pop.
It was great working with her and now we can

Recently I moved into a condo unit which needed a facelift, including a complete kitchen renovation. Barbara prepared a design plan and budget, and managed all the work which included new floors, lighting, furnishings and closet interiors throughout the apartment, and new cabinetry, lighting and flooring in the kitchen. The work took a bit longer to complete than expected, but that was due to issues beyond Barbara's control. I am very pleased with the results-- everything looks great. She helped turn a tired, poorly organized space into a home!”

We were lucky enough to land Barbara as a key member of our designing team when we were chosen for Property Brothers. She was just such a pleasure to work with from beginning to end - keeping our vision and lifestyle needs at the forefront. Barbara is an expert in her craft and knowledgeable and gave us great direction and suggestions along the renovation process. She made great suggestions of things we would have never even imagined was possible in our living space.
We are beyond happy with the end result - it is more than we could have expected.
We would recommend Barbara to friends and family

Barbara Nike of Nikka Design helped me select the interior finishes for my new condo. She was a consummate professional, very knowledgeable about all aspects of design and listened carefully to my needs and concerns. I was also very impressed at how thorough she was in getting answers from suppliers and the builder to help me make my decisions. I hope to have another opportunity to work with Nikka Design and have no hesitation recommending their work.

Relationship: Client
Project Date: February 2014
Project Price: $10,000 - $49,999
When we first thought about redecorating our house, we felt very overwhelmed with where to start the process. Once Barbara came into the picture, all that changed! She used her insight, experience and creativity to develop a decor plan that worked for our taste and budget. More importantly the overwhelming feeling was replaced with excitement. We couldn't wait to get started!
Some people say redecorating/renovating can be a really stressful process but honestly we can't say we really felt that as Barbara was always

NlKKA DESIGN completely revamped my cramped and gloomy bathroom into an inspired "eco-boutique-style" space! It takes a lot of skill to combine beautiful design with a practical reno approach. I especially love Barbara’s custom-designed sustainable vanity. She listened to what I wanted and made excellent recommendations for things that I didn’t know that I wanted and needed. It was a pleasure meeting with her and her team family. I highly recommend her!

I moved to Toronto and bought a new home. I decided to start renovating, but I didn't know where to start. Then I found Barbara of NIKKA DESIGN.
We had our first meeting and discussed my concerns and plans. She prepared a colour scheme for me and gave me many ideas regarding furniture, lighting, etc...
Now, the work has all been completed and I am amazed at the transformation.
I found Barbara to be professional, knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. Thanks, Barbara.
