Nikki’s work stands out for its refined material selection and an intuitive sense of balance, honed over years of creating bespoke spaces across South Florida and beyond. Her passion for design, combined with a deep respect for practicality, results in homes that are not only visually stunning but also deeply livable. The Aspen House is no exception—its serene aesthetic and thoughtful design speak to her talent for creating spaces that elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Nikki Levy’s design philosophy is rooted in her belief that thoughtful material selection is the foundation of a well-curated interior. “The soft wood tones used throughout the home create a visual story that has moments in between,” Nikki shares. “The use of texture and color, along with small details, makes all the difference. These elements layered together read as sophisticated and luxurious but still warm and inviting.”
This intentional layering is showcased throughout the Aspen House. In the kitchen, a marble backsplash with dramatic veining takes center stage, while open shelving provides a sense of airy elegance. The soft glow of oversized pendant lights creates an inviting warmth, balancing the kitchen’s beauty with its functionality. “The client wanted to feel like she was in a space of beauty, not just functionality,” Nikki notes. “However, don’t be fooled—it’s a highly functioning kitchen, but dressed so pretty.”
While the Aspen House exudes elegance, it’s also designed for real people. “We design for people who have kids and pets and want to use their home without hesitation,” Nikki explains. “This home is all about walking the fine line between beauty and how this family lives their lives.”
Durable yet luxurious fabrics, inviting sofas, and flexible layouts reflect this ethos. The home encourages connection, with seamless transitions between the kitchen and living areas that foster both intimate family moments and lively gatherings. “There’s so much on offer now that we no longer have to choose form over function or vice versa,” Nikki adds. The result is a space where life unfolds effortlessly, framed by beauty.
Designing during a time of material shortages brought its challenges, but Nikki emphasizes the importance of collaboration. “We had a client and General Contractor who worked seamlessly with us, and we pivoted as a team when we hit an obstacle,” she shares. This collective adaptability ensured the home remained true to its vision, even in the face of logistical hurdles.
