Nichola McKerrow Todd

Nichola McKerrow Todd is the Founder and Principal Designer of No Ordinary House, a North London interior architecture and design studio based in Muswell Hill, specialising in full home renovations of period houses.

With an architectural degree, a Diploma in Interior Design from Chelsea College of Arts and a background in marketing, Nichola combines design expertise with clear, grounded communication, supporting clients both practically and emotionally throughout complex projects.

Her starting point is how a home actually works: its flow, its proportions and the way light moves through it. Her work is warm and layered, using biophilic principles and natural materials to create homes that feel restorative, balanced and deeply personal. She has completed Oliver Heath’s biophilic design programme.

Having experienced major renovations personally as well as professionally, she understands the uncertainty and decision fatigue homeowners often face, and brings structure, reassurance and clarity to each stage of the process.

No Ordinary House won Fabco Interior Project of the Year 2026. The studio was also a finalist in the SBID Awards in 2025 and 2026, the Design et al Awards 2026 and the British Homes Awards 2025.

She is the creator of 'Before It’s Beautiful', a guide for homeowners planning a major renovation.
