Student Diploma Graduate

I'm Nicola Gall and Summer Patch Interiors is my Soft Furnishings business.

I am passionate about all things interiors and handcrafting beautiful blinds, curtains, cushions and more to help bring to life the dreams my clients have for their homes.

The business was born in January 2025, following a career pivot where I said goodbye to the corporate world and retrained with the fabulous Victoria Hammond at Master Soft Furnishers - learning the art of handcrafting beautiful soft furnishings. I have turned my passion into my business and I haven't looked back!
