Interior designer Nicole Gaines takes us inside her elevated home touched with personal charm.
Medical sales representative and interior designer Nicole Gaines, owner of the boutique wellbeing atelier, The Clarity Shop in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, takes center stage in our new series, Personal Space.
Residing in a charming 1,600-square-foot townhome on the outskirts of Nashville, Gaines has masterfully curated her three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath space with an eclectic mix of treasures. Her home showcases a thoughtfully curated collection of decor pieces sourced from her global travels, alongside carefully selected items from retailers like CB2, Crate and Barrel, HomeGoods, Target, and Wayfair.
To further add character and distinctiveness to her home, Gaines personalizes the space with her own handcrafted pieces, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere that perfectly reflects her design philosophy.
Ahead, we learn more about Gaines’ home and her personal design style.
As we step into the Gaines’ world, where every corner tells a story of thoughtful design and personal expression, one thing that caught our attention was her eye for unique pieces. The custom artwork from local artist Shabazz Larkin in her home works ranges from $2,000 to $4,000. We we also intrigued by her beautifully crafted CB2 dresser that became a $3,000 statement piece in her home.
Her design philosophy embraces a modern bohemian spirit that feels both fresh and lived-in, where contemporary clean lines dance with cozy textures and warm, earthy tones. You’ll find natural elements like rattan and rich woods playing alongside lush greenery, while soft textiles and layered rugs add depth and comfort to every room.
What makes Gaines’ space truly magical is how it radiates warmth and authenticity—each carefully chosen piece, whether it’s a piece of furniture or a handcrafted accent, contributes to the story of her home. The seamless blend of earthy materials and eclectic touches creates an atmosphere that’s unmistakably Gaines: warm, creative, and wonderfully unique. It’s more than just a beautiful space; it’s a living, breathing reflection of her soul, where every detail feels intentional yet effortlessly welcoming.
