Doheny Interiors

We had a large project to complete and much of the downstairs of our home needed updating. Working with Anne enabled us to tackle it in stages and with confidence. Anne helped us through the process, from the initial design, choice of materials, furnishings and colours to the final completion of the project. We really appreciated Anne’s project management skills, her responsiveness and her natural enthusiasm , all of which kept us motivated to complete what could have been an overwhelming project for us. We are delighted with our the finished results and are now reaping the rewards of Anne’s expertise.

Anne's flair and inspiration has provided us with what seems like a new house but without the need for any structural work. She provided a very professional service and had plenty of great ideas while working within our budget. She communicated well with us on a regular basis in person , what's app and email. Visiting showrooms with us she was a great help in assisting us with picking the right furnishings for our house. She introduced us to Kashan Flooring who provided an exceptional service. We would highly recommend Anne to anyone considering renovating their home.

We worked with Anne for our renovation as part of a move back to Ireland. She worked with us collaboratively on all the major decisions on colours, lighting, flooring, furniture, curtains, etc, and also some finer details when issues arose. She was very hands-on and even came shopping with us a few times to ensure everything matched and fitted. We really didn’t have to think too much as a result and we’re really happy with the outcome.

It was a pleasure to have Anne’s sage advice while re-decorating our home. She steered us towards colours that we would not have been initially inclined towards but we ended up with a space that far exceeded our imagination, which maximises both storage and flow. Throughout the process, Anne was extremely responsive and offered great guidance on up-cycling to keep costs down. Her sewing skills for the final soft furnishings pulled everything together perfectly.

I found Doheny interiors to be extremely helpful and professional. When I first met Anne I was looking to transform my younger daughter’s bedroom however after my older daughter asked if she could look at her room we ended up transforming a room I hadn’t even considered but in hindsight was in more need of a makeover. Anne completely reconfigured the room and introduced ideas I hadn’t even thought of. The room is very tricky to work with due to low ceilings, a beam jutting out into the centre of the room and walls which are not straight. Anne suggested putting the wardrobe on that wall and it worked! We went from having a redundant space to having a wardrobe with tons of storage space and the best bit is it didn’t make the room any smaller. My daughter is delighted with her reconfigured room. Sometimes all it takes is a simple idea. I would highly recommend Doheny Interiors for those jobs where you just need a professional touch and a fresh pair of eyes.

Anne did an amazing job in transforming my space starting from the project design to the finishing touches. I was positively surprised of Anne’s dedication to the project requirements and my wishes which at the end helped to finish it successfully. Prompt communication from Anne’s side made it very simple to resolve any appeared issues. I would definitely work with Anne again because of the such positive experience.

Anne gave great advice on how to make our new build feel more like home. We had a very limited budget for this and she worked within it, giving great advice on colour, texture, lighting, and soft furnishings - and had an impressive knowledge of the different products available. She listened to my thoughts and reflected these in her detailed design ideas. We will definitely consult her again in the future when we do a bigger project with built in furniture in the attic and living room - which Anne has already helped me start to plan for.

Anne was v professional, helpful and insightful in redesigning our dull dated sitting room, she listened to our ideas and came back with a fabulous modern and cosy plan, the colour advice was great and 3D modelling and drawings brought the plan to life, def a worthwhile investment. I'd highly recommend Anne as interior designer.

We enlisted the help of Anne to provide some inspiration and expertise to help us rejuvenate and redesign our open plan kitchen and downstairs bathroom, for a growing family. Anne called out to us and measured up, listened to our needs and wants and soon after provided us with 3 great design options, all available to view in 3D images. We quickly agreed on one of her designs and have contacted a builder to begin construction shortly. We would happily recommend Anne to anyone looking to redesign and modernise their home.

Anne did a brilliant job helping us move our house out of babyhood and magnolia. We felt like we were living in a space that was not really our own. We now live in a home with colour, life and the space reflects our family. It flows and works better. We engaged with Anne as we did not have the skills (or the interest in developing them!) to update our home. From the very beginning, she listened and worked with us. She figured out our style and preferences and her suggestions reflected that. She had great ideas to change our bathrooms and kitchen which were our biggest problem areas. She helped upcycle our current furniture and made suggestions to move pieces to different spaces. Simple changes that had an immediate impact. She even sent me videos on how to organise my drawers and presses better! She has great attention to detail along with a practical and realistic understanding of family life. I really appreciated how she helped narrow choices for us. It's an overwhelming process and Anne consistently sent ideas and options to us that we could work with. It made the whole process so much easier. She helped us find tradespeople and worked with them to bring her plans to life. She was fully committed at every step - from design, decluttering, building work, upcycling, and finishing stages. She was always positive and helpful. I learned a lot from Anne and our home is all the better from her expertise. I would highly recommend working with Doheny Interiors.

Anne recently helped us give our tired bedroom, bathroom, common spaces and attic bedroom a much need transformation. She consulted for us during the height of lockdown. Despite being unable to visit the spaces in person she was able to use pictures of the spaces and our very unclear vision of what we wanted - I do not think creatively in space or colour - to help us create spaces we now love. She presented some excellent options for us and worked with us as our vision for the spaces clarified. She was even undaunted by our strange windows - narrow and high up. In our bedroom she was able to craft a fresh, updated, beautiful space that is soft and inviting yet uses a vibrant colour palette. In our attic she created a warm, peaceful space that we now use as our home office. She was encouraging throughout and a pleasure to deal with - creative, determined to facilitate a space that really worked for us and always professional. I would highly recommend Doheny Interiors if you are considering re-thinking any aspect of your interiors.

Doheny Interiors carried out a complete overhaul of my apartment in Stepaside. It has been rented for a number of years and was looking very worn and tired. I would not have had the time, or the necessary skills to properly present my apartment for sale. I desperately needed the professional skills and talents that Doheny interiors provide. Anne's expertise and knowledge was essential. My apartment was given its much needed face-lift. The consultations were excellent and I gained instant confidence in her knowledge. I was delighted with the outcome the apartment had been given a new lease of life and was presented in show house condition. I would highly recommend Doheny Interiors for any staging and/or decorating projects. Colm Apartment Staging Stepaside, Co. Dublin
