NICKY’S HOME IMPROVEMENT WISH LIST

1. A version of the ‘butler box’ from the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo. Hotel staff access the space from the corridor, guests from the room. It’s used for deliveries and collections, such as invitations, shoe shine, laundry; a button alerts both parties if something is inside. I would swap my apartment letter box for a domestic version of this, ideally beside my door, for contactless deliveries and to maintain privacy. And for when I’m out, I’d like an additional street-side delivery box with a digital entry system.

2. A dedicated area to open e-commerce packages and prepare any returns, with space to keep packaging for reuse and recycling.

3. A home office with: a giant desk, ideally the ‘Table En Forme Libre’ by Charlotte Perriand; a smart and simple background for Facetime and Zoom; and flattering lighting.

4. My home office would be connected with sliding doors to a space for working out and stretching, with a projector for sessions with my personal trainer and for online classes.

I’d add some weights, a Loro Piana cashmere mat, a foam roller and a Theragun to get rid of muscle tension.
