About Nicole

Hello! My name is Nicole Reid, owner of Poplar Creek Interiors. Since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with making everyday living beautiful. I have a passion for creating homes that feel like home, and I love to help people grow their homes along with their families.

After earning a B.S. in Business Administration and Management from Virginia Commonwealth University, I went on to explore a myriad of careers, ranging from cosmetology to baking. But it was design that birthed a passion within me to work alongside families to create homes that bring about a sense of peace and comfort.

While exploring an Interior Design course at Watkins College in Nashville, TN the idea for my company began to take shape. After purchasing my first home with my husband, design became an integral part of my life as I learned more about myself and what made me feel most at home—a pursuit I wanted to share with others.

And so began my foray into design as a career. I enrolled in an online design program at NYIAD to further strengthen my foundation in design as well as nurture my natural ability to curate thoughtful and beautiful spaces. There, I also learned about the technical aspects of design and color theory, and also the importance of collaboration with clients and industry professionals.

 
A home is not just a place to lay your head. A home is a place where memories are made, friends become family, and a place where all the world’s iniquities are left at the door

What clients have said about Nicole…

Nicole is amazing to work with. She took into consideration my style and budget, but took her design a step further by ensuring my space provided both style and function. She provided different options, which made it easier to pick and choose what I liked so I didn’t feel limited to one design option. She made it easy to purchase the pieces for my room by providing direct links to the products she had chosen. I’m so excited with how my room is coming together!
