About Me
Meet Lisa Kelly
Founder of Nook & Nova
In 2012, I stood in my first empty apartment, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with creativity and life. Little did I know that this space would ignite a passion for design that would evolve into Nook & Nova. My name is Lisa Kelly, and I'm delighted to share my journey with you.
From Real Estate to Design
Starting my career in real estate, I had the privilege of stepping into countless homes, each with its own unique story. I quickly realized that beyond the bricks and mortar, it was the carefully curated spaces within these homes that made them truly special. This revelation sparked my interest in interior design, compelling me to transition from selling homes to shaping them.
The Birth of Nook & Nova
Nook & Nova was born from my desire to blend the concepts of 'nooks'—cozy, personal spaces—with the celestial allure of 'nova'—new and bright ideas. I envisioned a brand where refined comfort meets modern elegance, creating environments that resonate with both warmth and sophistication.
The REFINED HOME Method
Through years of experience and countless projects, I developed the REFINED HOME Method, a unique approach to home design that focuses on balancing aesthetics with functionality. This method became the backbone of my design philosophy, guiding each project to ensure that every space is not only beautiful but also practical and personal.
Author and Creator
Today, I am proud to be an author of several books on interior design, sharing my knowledge and insights with a broader audience. My journey continues to inspire my work, as I explore new trends, create innovative designs, and help my clients transform their spaces into homes that reflect their individuality.
I’m thrilled to welcome you to Nook & Nova, where each piece is crafted with care and every design is a story waiting to be told. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
Warm regards,
Lisa Kelly
Founder & Designer, Nook & Nova
