Nyla Thompson has spent more than 15 years helping people reconnect with their homes. As the founder of DecorifyIt, she blends hands-on experience with intuitive design and practical advice. Her goal? To help homeowners upgrade their spaces without stress or overspending.

For Nyla, good design should be beautiful, functional, and easy to achieve. She believes every home—no matter the size or budget—deserves to feel lived-in, loved, and well-organised.

What makes her stand out isn’t just her credentials. It’s her ability to understand how people actually live and what they truly need from their space.

From Design School to Real-Life Projects

Nyla’s design journey began at the New York School of Interior Design, where she earned a degree in spatial planning and interior architecture. She later gained certifications in Sustainable Building Practices and Energy-Efficient Design, building a solid foundation in both creativity and responsible construction.

After graduating, she jumped right into residential projects—from updating small city kitchens to redesigning full floor plans in busy family homes. Over the years, she’s led more than 200 home transformations, managing everything from layout planning to the finishing touches.

One of her most memorable projects involved turning a dark, cluttered Victorian terrace into a sunlit family home—without erasing its original charm. Her ability to balance character with function has become her signature.

The Start of DecorifyIt

Nyla created DecorifyIt to share everything she’s learned through real projects, long nights testing paint samples, and countless client consultations.

What started as a personal side project quickly grew into a go-to blog for homeowners, renters, and DIYers looking for clear, real-world advice. From choosing a floor plan to finding hardware that looks great without breaking the bank, her content is designed to be both practical and inspiring.

Today, DecorifyIt reaches thousands of readers each month who rely on Nyla’s down-to-earth insights to guide their home improvement decisions.

Design That Works in Real Life

Nyla doesn’t believe in chasing perfection. Instead, she focuses on creating homes that feel good to live in.

She’s helped busy parents create calm in chaotic playrooms, guided new homeowners through their first renovations, and shown renters how to personalise a space—without losing their deposits.

Her tips come from hands-on experience. Like learning which grout colours stain the fastest or why it’s always worth testing paint in natural light. That trial-and-error honesty makes her advice especially relatable to anyone starting their design journey.

Teaching and Empowering Homeowners

In addition to writing, Nyla hosts online workshops and live sessions where she breaks down topics like:

  • How to plan a renovation without losing your mind

  • Budget-friendly upgrades that make a big impact

  • Choosing materials that are beautiful and practical

Her sessions are clear, casual, and filled with takeaways that attendees can use right away. Most walk away feeling equipped, excited, and ready to tackle even the toughest spaces.

DecorifyIt isn’t just about making rooms look pretty. Nyla built it to be a place where people can find honest guidance, fresh ideas, and no-fuss tips for creating a home that works for their lifestyle.

Whether you’re painting your first room, remodelling an entire house, or just stuck picking a light fixture—Nyla’s content is here to help, not overwhelm.

She continues to work closely with homeowners while growing DecorifyIt into a trusted source for smart, approachable design.
