Meet Nicki

The person behind Love Nicki x, and the eye behind the collection.

Love Nicki x began with a fascination for the kinds of objects that stay in your mind long after you’ve seen them. The slightly eccentric ceramic sitting quietly on a shelf. A piece of vintage wall art that somehow feels familiar. An old bear with an expression you can’t quite walk away from.

With a background in History of Art & Design and experience working within auction houses and antique interiors, I’ve spent years surrounded by objects with stories, craftsmanship and history. Along the way, I became increasingly interested in something beyond age or value: why certain pieces make us stop, look twice and feel something.

The pieces I’m drawn to are rarely chosen simply because they are valuable or fashionable. I look for the quirky ceramics, nostalgic kitchenalia, vintage collectables, British design and unusual decorative objects that feel individual and impossible to ignore.

That instinct sits at the heart of Love Nicki x.

I personally source each piece from auctions, antique fairs and countryside markets, looking for objects with character, craftsmanship and a sense of history. Some are beautifully made, some are wonderfully strange, and others simply have something about them that makes me want to take them home.

Alongside vintage finds, the collection includes framed William Morris wall art created from original vintage wallpaper samples, British ceramics, antique curios and decorative pieces - all selected through the same instinctive eye.

Based in the Surrey Hills, Love Nicki x is an independent shop built around the idea that the most interesting homes are the ones that feel genuinely personal. Not perfectly matched, but layered with things you’ve chosen because you love them.

Because sometimes the piece that stays with you isn’t the most valuable or the most obvious. It’s the one that makes you stop, look twice and think, “I don’t know why, but I have to have it.”
