Modern kitchen renovation with white cabinetry and natural light

Kitchen Planning

Galway Kitchen: From Dark Dated to Light & Minimal

A 1970s cottage kitchen in Galway was cramped and poorly lit. We redesigned the layout to open up the space, specified moisture-resistant finishes for Irish humidity, and coordinated with two local tradespeople over 8 weeks. The result: a bright, Scandinavian-inspired kitchen that honours the cottage's character.

Dublin Bathroom: Moisture Control & Colour

A north-facing Dublin bathroom suffered condensation and mould. We selected breathable paints, installed proper extraction, and chose materials that resist Irish dampness. The colour palette—soft sage and warm neutrals—suits both natural and artificial light while keeping the space feeling warm rather than clinical.

Cork Cottage: Blending Traditional & Modern

This 1950s Cork cottage needed a complete rethink. We developed a room-by-room budget breakdown (€35,000 total), specified materials that work with the damp Irish climate, and worked with three local tradespeople to respect the building's bones while introducing light, minimalist interiors. The brief: warm but uncluttered, modern but not stark.

Completed 2023 | Budget €35,000 | Three rooms, BER rating improved from E to D, 12-week timeline

Colour & Materials

Limerick Bedroom: Colour Strategy for North Light

Many Irish homes struggle with north-facing rooms. We helped this Limerick homeowner select warm, slightly saturated colours that don't fade under grey light, paired with materials that feel substantial without looking heavy. The palette works year-round while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic they wanted.
