Bespoke Furniture

“Nina did a wonderful job in suggesting ideas that would rejuvenate a tired rental property. Nina pulled the various rooms together using new colour schemes and sourcing items of furniture and fittings to create a new look and feel, while keeping within a tight budget. Should problem's arise, Nina was on hand to problem solve and assist at all times. We are delighted with the new and fresh look of the property and we would be delighted to use Nina's services again in the near future.”

“David Shannon has been making custom carpentry for many of my clients over that past few years. His attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none. He is very creative and listens to both the clients and my requirements. He always provides clients with hand drawn plans of what their finished furniture will look like. He provides detailed quotes and is good value for money. He always gives a start and finish date and sticks to it. The furniture is made off site in his workshop so causes the least amount of disruption to my clients. He is respectful and well mannered and my clients love him! He has made wardrobes, kitchens, window seats, library units, panelling, coving, bathroom vanity units, beds, lockers, and bespoke pieces of furniture for my clients. I am always very happy to recommend David to my clients and will continue to do so. If you are looking for the best with a brilliant service then David Shannon is your man! Thank you David for all our successful projects!”

“Thelma is a competent and creative interior designer who is very easy to get on with. She helped me reconfigure a tired looking playroom which now looks light and airy. She advised on position of furniture, window style, storage, flooring, fittings and colours. She also put me touch with local trades people to deliver curtains, window seat and customised shelving. She is very good at listening and providing tailored advice to your needs and budget. I would recommend her highly. I found Thelma on Houzz. Angela”

“Jane Higgins Home Design recently completed a design project on my modern apartment in south Dublin. Jane's sense of colour and stunning ideas about furniture and home decoration generally has resulted in a lovely, light and airy, yet cosy and comfortable space for living. I cannot recommend her, and the furniture makers she is associated with, highly enough. Jane herself is a very good listener and was always keen to make sure that my own ideas were included in the design.”

“Arlene was a pleasure to work with, both professionally and personally. She has a great sense of style and great eye for colour and detail. She worked well within our budget and provided various design ideas for our home. She was able to meet all of the practical needs of a busy family home while still keeping the house stylish and opulent. I loved the fact that Ventura is a one stop shop and they were able to provide beautiful custom made furniture at very reasonable prices and excellent quality. We love our new home and I would not hesitate in recommending Arlene for any interior project.”

“Angela was very professional to work with. Angela talk to my husband and myself and took our surroundings and suggestions into consideration when planning room colour's, blinds and furniture which she sourced. The end result is a home that is welcoming, comfortable and practical. We love our new home. Thanks Angela at Conbu Interior Design.”

“I would highly recommend Louise to anyone who is looking for someone to help with design ideas for your home. I wanted help with ideas to bring more colour and update colour scheme for my living, dinning, kitchen and hallway. Her recommendations on colours palettes, fabrics, rugs and furniture were very helpful and allowed me the confidence to start redecorating. Works are still ongoing but nearly complete. Thanks Louise.”

“We engaged with Deirdre and Collab Design Studio earlier this year to do space planning, interior design, color palette selection and general design ideas for our new home. We had been struggling with the lack of space utilisation and it was compounded by the fact that there were recent furniture and fixture purchases which we didn't want to throw away. After talking to almost 15 designers and firms we decided to go ahead with Deirdre for two reasons - one the excellent follow up and structured approach which she took right from the start of discussion and second, the level of details on the design deliverables which she showcased that would get delivered to us. I am pleased to say that not only Collab Design was competitive in the quote for services, Deirdre was a pleasure to deal with and went over and above to get the design, colours and accessories right for us. Her design concept are at great level of detail and has already helped us to transform our 3 bedrooms in phase 1 of the work. We are looking forward to phase 2 which will complete the living and kitchen areas in the new year. Would highly recommend Deirdre and Collab Design Studio to anyone looking for a superb interior designer!”

“Our brief for Dana was to reimagine the ground floor interior of our house, to brighten it up and to modernise it. The house is a typical 1950's semi-d suburban Dublin home, that was partially renovated about 10 years ago. We left the plan entirely in Dana's hands, with two provisos: we wanted to knock the wall between the front and back rooms to create a door and we wanted to re-use our existing furniture, with as few additions and substitutions are possible. We asked her to create a home suitable for the family expanding from two to three whilst incorporating a sense of lightness, modernity and fun. We also wanted to increase the storage and make better use of the space available. We were impressed with Dana's ideas and enthusiasm from the first meeting and it didn't take us long to know we had found the right person for the job. The contractors were a mixture of those hired directly by me and those by Dana, but she dealt as easily and professionally with both and was very flexible with accommodating their time frames. All the contractors recommended by Dana were professional and provided high quality workmanship. Dana stuck to the budget and plan at all times and didn't try to impose out of budget ideas or items on us. She has a real talent for making the most of the budget provided. We are very pleased with the results, the house has been transformed on a limited budget and we wholeheartedly recommend Dana.”

“Excellent experience with Habu, They completely transformed my house from a dark world of pine furniture into a bright modern design which is a pleasure to come home to. Robert coordinated and project managed everything from the design to the project managing a variety of contractors covering building work, tiling, painting and bespoke cabinet making. He was very responsive and very easy to work with. Would highly recommend”
