Carton Interiors

Dublin

Jackie Carton is an interior architect specialising in residential interior design. She has ten years experience in delivering full design schemes - from modern and colourful to classically elegant. With a background in art publishing and graphics, her love of art and colour is evident throughout her work and she believes that a well designed home should reflect its owners personality. “As designers we have a responsibility to the client to ensure the layout meets their functional needs. Then, layers of colour and texture add warmth and character whilst some well considered final touches complete the scheme. Attention to detail is one of my hallmarks - it's the smaller, more subtle elements that really help create a harmonious feel. A beautifully designed space is a joy to live in and this is the ultimate goal of every project I undertake.” Jackie is known for her open and friendly yet professional approach. She collaborates with a number of architects and building contractors to see each design through to completion. A regular contributor to interior magazines and newspaper articles, Jackie has also been invited to speak at shows such as House Event, the Ideal Home Show and the Self Build shows. She works with developers on showhouse fit outs and in 2017 took part in TV3’s Showhouse Showdown programme, winning across all four categories. Her work is featured on Houzz where she was awarded “Best of Houzz for both Design and Service” in 2019.

Jackie is fantastic! We are a young couple that had purchased a new two bed apartment and wanted to give the apartment our own personal feel. We were apprehensive about working with a designer, but once we met Jackie and went through our ideas, she made us feel at ease and explained the process from start to finish very well. She done a brilliant job at combining both of our ideas into a cohesive plan and giving it that extra spark that makes everyone say ‘wow’ when they see the place. We couldn’t be happier & couldn’t recommend Jackie enough. She really makes the whole process easier too as Jackie has some great contacts with high quality painters, electricians, etc. so it saves having to go and find suitable vendors for different tasks yourself.

I was apprehensive about working with an interior designer - different personalities, being talked into something I was not sure of but within 5 minutes of meeting Jackie I knew that was not going to be a problem. Jackie is lovely, really easy to talk to and she put them time in to making sure she understood how we used our space. She provided visuals on anything proposed so we knew what it was going to look like and she had a couple of options if there was something that we didn't immediately warmed to (for us it was a set of lamps and a painting and Jackie ended up being right about the lamps). She kept to deadlines as did all of her trades people who were all very good. I could not have been happier with the results, it is like a completely different house, even the small changes Jackie made to things already in the house made such a difference. If we stay where we are and look for a change down the road or if we ever move she will be the first person I will call.

Carton Interiors provided an excellent service to me for the recent renovation of my kitchen; providing advice on design, choosing the new cabinets and fittings, worktops, colours and flooring and sourcing kitchen fitters, electricians, plumbers etc. Jackie Carton was always available to answer questions or make suggestions. I have no hesitation in recommending Carton Interiors for any home design projects.

We have used Jackie twice so far, in our previous house to decorate and to change from a house in to a home with a lot of unusual features and hidden storage. We were delighted with the results. When we moved in February this year we approached Jackie again and gave her a blank canvas for all features from carpets curtains wall colours paintings lighting. Although she was extremely busy she was great to work with and fitted us in to her schedule. The results are fantastic and I love that she does the research and give three options on what to choose. She is very sensible with budgets and looking at alternatives to keep costs at requested levels. A brilliant service and the guys who work with Jackie are super and very trustworthy. We would definitely use Jackie again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to lift the décor in their house and add a wow factor.

Thanks Carmel, its fantastic to hear you were so happy with the finished results - I loved working with you both. Allowing me a blank canvas for the second project was a brave move and one that resulted in the wow factor - thank you for trusting in me!

Jackie was absolutely amazing before and during our project! My husband and I bought a new home and had no idea where to start with the design and decor. Jackie met us and within hours helped us narrow down our style, gave us ideas for each room, and provided excellent examples and sources for the art, furniture, and decor. Her eye for detail is fantastic. Jackie listened to the vision I had for our home and tastefully translated it into thoughtful designs. She dedicated so much of her time to the project to ensure our dream became a reality. We highly recommend Jackie she’s such an amazing talent. The service was so personal and the results were everything we wanted and more!! Our home is individual to us and above all cosy! Jackie performed an excellent job and is so easy to work with. We are so happy with our home.

A real pleasure working with the Style my Room team, always available to answer questions and offer advice. Jackie took the time to understand my style and tastes before moving onto the design stage. She had so many creative ideas, I loved the process of picking colours and fabrics, and embracing new ideas! Delighted with the end result and what we could achieve on my tight budget.

Hi Frances, thanks so much for the super review. Its wonderful to hear you were so pleased with the finished schemes.

We enjoyed working with Jackie. Being quite busy with other projects she managed to finish ours quite fast and on time. We even left the house for 1+ month while she was project managing the works and we were really impressed with the results when we came back. She's very meticulous to details and she didn't miss any of the recommendations we gave. Jackie is a good listener and doesn't push her thoughts strongly while she may mildly express her doubts and concerns about our ideas but will always accept them if we still insist. Jackie has a great team of builders - carpenters, painters etc who did their job really great. In the end we found out that we haven't gone to any furniture shops at all - everything was provided by Jackie in the form of moodboards and spreadsheets. This was the least nervous refurbishment ever for us! I would highly recommend Jackie (Style my Room) for anyone who wants to get their living place comfortable and beautiful and have no stress getting it!

Jackie and her team did such a wonderful job styling our entire house - I wouldn’t have known where to start but she made it easy, hassle-free and enjoyable. The whole team worked so hard at a busy time of year to accommodate us and finish the whole project in such a timely fashion. Their attention to detail is impeccable. We are thrilled with the end result !

Struggling to find a style for my new home, I engaged the consultation services of Jackie and 'Style My Room'. She came over, reviewed the space, my style and got an overview of how it's all used. What I came away with were helpful ideas of how I can work each room with the furniture I currently have and what I could look out for (as and when I'm ready). She even gave me some practical tips which I could implement immediately into my home, which was wonderful. I'm now excited to build on what she gave me. Jackie works with you and your style and is extremely knowledgable with resources. She has given me a renewed belief that my home can (and will) look spectacular. Thank you Jackie.

I bought a housewarming gift of a consultation with Jackie for my parents when they downsized to an apartment. Jackie was very professional and provided lots of advice. She showed lots of photos of ideas and explained things clearly. I would highly recommend Jackie.

Thank you Jackie & Style my Room! I was completely overwhelmed with what to do in my house. Jackie came arrived and within nanoseconds, effortlessly made everything clear. She gave great advice and got me on track to complete (and enjoy!) the jobs that I was putting off for months. Jackie has a great eye and an immense depth of knowledge in the industry. Thank you Jackie for your calm creative wisdom. I would highly recommend Jackie & Style my Room !

We contacted Jackie to help us with our plans to extend our mid-terraced property. We wanted to extend out to the rear and we took this opportunity to remodel the existing downstairs. Jackie took the time to get to know what we wanted and devised a number of options for us to ponder, ultimately opting for the open plan layout. She was keenly aware of our budget restrictions and came up with innovative ideas of how get the best value for money. We got a lovely living space with great views of our garden, a modern kitchen and a very chic dining room. We even got a utility room and downstairs WC, thanks to Jackie's creative space planning. She even helped us through the construction phase which was very reassuring. We were more than happy with the result of the project and we really believe that we owe it all to Jackie and her dedication to her clients. She made sure that she was always available and no question was too stupid and no request too small. The time and effort that Jackie put in to our project went beyond the call of duty, she is highly proffesional and takes great pride in her work and it really shows. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jackie to any future client
