About Us
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” 2017-2021. She is President of the Interiors Association in Ireland.

Jackie is one of the most talented persons on planet earth!!! She is simply amazing. She brought my dream home to reality. From a blank canvas to a breathtaking master piece. I couldn’t hold back my tears on the day of the great reveal. I had to keep tapping myself to make sure I was not dreaming. Her concept, choice of colors, patterns, ideas, skills are simply out of this world. She is very professional, from the first day I met her I knew I was in safe hands. The project was to start in March, but then the lockdown came to effect due to the pandemic. Jackie still kept in touch and gave me updates every step of the way. Even though logistics and purchases were hard to come by, she went out of her way to a make sure my house was set barely a month after the lockdown was starting to ease. Everyone who’s been to my home is amazed of how beautiful the house is…thanks so much Jackie, for making my dream come true!!!!!

I can't recommend Jackie highly enough!! She was a pleasure to deal with at every step of the design journey, guiding and inspiring the whole way.
We have a house that has become our home, with a style that reflects our interests and personalities. Our kitchen/diner, which is where we spend most of our time, has a real 'wow factor' and includes a navy fitted cabinet, designed by Jackie, navy painted walls, and a gallery wall for our treasured artwork.
The kitchen/diner flows really well, style-wise, into the living room so that when the adjoining doors are open we have one big gorgeous room, yet each room still has its own character.
My son's bedroom has a giant map on the wall and a handmade headboard. Our bedroom has quirky geometric wallpaper and a huuuuge velvet bed that is so comfy, it is like sleeping on a cloud. Even the hallway and the downstairs loo now looks beautiful.
I have to stop there - this is sounding a little self-congratulatory! I just want to tell you if you are looking for a great designer to help you transform your house, especially if you are a little nervous and unsure like I was, look no further than Jackie Carton. As well as being a fabulous designer, she is also a lovely person to deal with.
We love the outcome!

My partner and I purchased a new build recently. As we were starting out with a blank canvas we soon became overwhelmed with the amount of choice and styles available to us online and in stores. We got in touch with Jackie for advice on the design aspect. Jackie was very professional to deal with from the beginning. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. Jackie took into consideration both our styles and helped us create a great stylish family space that we are so thrilled with. She was able to understand what we were looking for even when we didn’t know ourselves! She could visualise the whole house coming together. We have achieved a stylish, complete look that flows throughout the house that we would never have been able to complete on our own.
We availed of tradesmen who came recommended by Jackie all of whom were very efficient and professional to deal with. Jackie was very patient and always quick to respond to any queries we had. I would absolutely recommend Jackie to anyone looking for an interior designer.

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. Being so prepared to embrace the more colourful and creative aspects of the design gave a truly individual result so thank you for engaging so thoroughly with me. It was a lovely project to work on.

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.
