About Nest and Aura
Home is an emotion
that we can help you discover.
We cover topics that matter to people who want their home spaces to be just as great as their design — decor tips, plant care, smart home ideas, and gardening tips for your home environment.
Our Nest and aura Mission
Beautiful design, made accessible.
Nest and Aura was founded to bridge the gap between inspiration and "Hey, I can really do that." All our guides are created from experience — on tight budgets, in rented spaces, and with plants that have previously been killed.
Whether it's one plant or a smarter living room, our aim is small changes that make an impact. It isn't about one right way of decorating. We're just giving you ideas that will suit you.
What Nest and Aura Believes
There are three things that we will not compromise on.
Comfort before performance
We prefer cozy homes to perfect pictures. Always.
Words you can understand
Design language doesn't have to be coded. We explain the "how" behind our ideas, but more importantly, we explain the "why."
Flexibility to make it your own
It's the little things that make a home a home. We give you a starting point and a few choices to consider.
Where the Nest and Aura Name Comes From
"Nest" is the warmth of coming home. "Aura" is the mood a room gives off the moment you walk in. Together, they're one simple idea — a home that looks good, and feels even better.
