Professional Information:Deirdre trained as an interior designer in London's KLC in 13 years ago. After that she worked at a high-end studio in Notting Hill, before setting up her own practice, Fabric Space.
Deirdre knows the value of loving what you do, before re-training as a designer, she spent 10 years as a management consultant. Though not the happiest time of her career (!) it does mean that her projects are professionally managed and budgets adhered to. Deirdre is also a part-time lecturer in Interior Architecture at the Dublin Institute of Design. It was here that she met fellow designer, Jenny Coughlan - Jenny and Deirdre have been collaborating together for a couple of years now and have recently made it official with the launch of their company Collab design studio. Together they have a vast experience and repertoire of trusted trades and suppliers.

Last year we just moved into a new house that was an empty shell, expecting a baby very soon after. We needed to make this house a home, fast! Deirdre was very easy to work with, very dedicated and quick to respond and helped us with some great ideas while keeping within our budget, and giving us just the right amount of options to choose from. I would absolutely recommend working with Deirdre!!

Deirdre did a full makeover of my bathroom and did a superb job. The room was small with a very high ceiling and needed some real creative genius to bring it all together and make it bathroom that we wanted to use and enjoy. Deidre was first of all an absolute pleasure to deal with and my standards are high. She was professional, followed up when she said she would, produced really clear visuals of what she was pressing to do and her attention to detail and follow up was second to none. But most of all I loved her creativity and obvious talent for the work she does. The end result was better than I could have imagined ! I could not recommend Deirdre more highly. Clodagh Hughes

Our house is relatively small and subject to several extensions over the years. Deirdre provided several very clever options for maximising use of space and giving the old place a new and contemporary look. Very happy with the service and well worth getting the professional advice from someone with an eye for interiors.

Deirdre Coleman is an amazing designer,she was exactly what I had been looking for to redesign our house, just hadn’t realized!!
Deirdre has a fabulous skill, providing the elegance and flair of an interior designer but with the structure and measurement of an architect.
She is exceptionally practical, anything she didn’t like in a room was always rehoused somewhere else, and looked better!
The concept Deirdre provided was so clear and thorough,there was options for everything,and she managed to source the items so reasonable,we were always provided with 2 different options in 2 different price brackets.
Throughout the project, Deirdre was always at the other end of the phone for any query,and messages or calls were answered instantly. Yet any question I had,Deirdre had already covered it,with so much detail and thought. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We are delighted with the changes to our house,

I am working with Deirdre on some residential projects at present and Deirdre is a delight to deal with, amazing ideas and the attention to detail is refreshing to see in this industry. Deirdre knows what her clients want very clearly and this is evident when debriefing me with her projects. I have spoken with Deirdre's clients and they have all said how easy Deirdre is to work with and talk of how much stress has been reduced when dealing with their projects.

Fabric Space was brilliant.
We did not know how best to use our space for a proposed extension. We ended up changing the plans based on Deirdre's input and her attention to detail is second to none.
No question is too stupid to ask and her experience means your not wasting time...what she says works and looks great!
Thank you for helping us.

Absolutely delighted with Fabric Space’s Design for my new Office, Deirdre has turned a dull and heartless room in to a fantastic, modern, stylish place I enjoy working in and am proud to invite clients into. Highly recommend!
