Encore Interiors

O

ur homes are truly a

reflection of us. From where we

slather the toast with butter each

morning to where we lay our heads

at night, the décor of our abode sets

the stage for countless memories

formed along the way. One Mount

Pleasant shop owner is playing a vital role in ensuring home

interiors match the vibrancy of moments shared within

those four walls. Amey Nicoll, owner

of Encore Interiors, is changing the

living spaces of clients one boldly-colored throw pillow at

a time, and, with a longtime love of design, this innovator

shows no sign of

slowing down.

“I want visitors to

be in awe when they

walk through our

doors and have an

instant rapport with

the items they see,”

said Nicoll. “I want

them to be able to

envision themselves

in those spaces that

resonate with them.”

Since taking over the space in April 2015, Nicoll has

transformed the 14,000-square-foot shop into a delightful

feast for the eyes. A cornucopia of historical remnants and

modern-day gems grace the nooks and crannies of this

winding wonderland for those that revel in fantastic findings.

The daughter of a Realtor mom and construction-

industry dad, Nicoll claims her destiny with “all things

home” was an obvious one. Innately drawn to the way

textures and colors intertwine to create a mood, she

approaches each work day with the same enthusiasm she

had when she started out in interior design.

“Even as a child, I would set the Barbie home up and

marvel at the way everything complemented each other,”

said Nicoll, who once was a sought-after stager enlisted by

Realtors to make houses sell in record time. “There are no

rules when it comes to design.”

Whether you’re searching for that authentic Moroccan

rug to drape over your hardwood or you are in need of

a framed oil painting to adorn the hallway wall, Encore

Interiors has got you covered. A treasure-seeker with an

impeccable knack for pairing the unusual with grace and

style, Nicoll houses an array of one-of-a-kind pieces sure to

entice everyone, regardless of personal taste.

“I love to be able to continuously surprise people,” said

Nicoll. “Whether that’s with a truly unique piece that they

wouldn’t normally go for or with an incredible deal on

something they never dreamed they could afford.”

From handcrafted Korean furniture to an ancient

rug that was once touched by the soles of British royalty,

you never know

what you might find

in this antiquer’s

paradise. Intricately

carved Southwestern

cow skulls, beaded

chandeliers and

vintage mirrors

oozing with character

are just a few of the

many items up for

grabs.

“It’s extremely rewarding to provide young working

professionals with pieces that they couldn’t find

elsewhere,” said Nicoll. “We truly have something for

everyone. From the very funky to midcentury modern,

you’ll find such a variety here.”

Nicoll also finds a great sense of pride in running a green

business that focuses on reusing products rather than mass-

producing new ones.

“I love the stories each piece tells,” said Nicoll, admiring

two crimson repurposed doors that once adorned a New

York City brownstone. “Our homes become sanctuaries,

and it’s great to be able to provide people with pieces that

add real depth to their homes.”
