Renovating old Irish houses

When renovating a house in Ireland or embarking on an Irish cottage renovation the contractors that your choose to create your dream will make all the difference. In Ireland there is a guild of master crafts men from wood turners to metal smiths and all the trades in between, even the nimble fingered seamstress has spent at least 5 years perfecting her trade before an interior designer will use her skills for curtains or beautiful hand made blinds. At RK Designs we have an extensive black book containing all of these magical experts who craft our ideas into your reality.

A traditional renovation of an Irish cottage in Ireland usually requires stone masons and lime plaster experts for the exterior and the usual range of skills for the interior. The most important thing to consider when creating this dream holiday home is that it is a reflection of your dream and your story. In Architectural Digest this week Nicole Fuller, Usher's interior designer explains that "Every single material, stone and texture, was chosen because we talked about it together and it has a story"

Before embarking on this journey of renovating your Irish home, get out your notebook and write what you imagine it all to be, I will discuss this dream with you and use our amazing team to craft this reality.
