Luxury home renovations Ireland
Luxury home renovations in Ireland, run by one studio from survey to styling.
RK Designs has delivered luxury home renovations across Ireland for over twenty years — Dublin townhouses and penthouses, coastal houses on the Wild Atlantic Way, and country homes that needed a complete Irish home remodel. One team holds the design, the specification, the trades and the furnishing, so the finish you were shown is the finish you get.
What a luxury renovation includes
A full Irish home remodel, specified to the last handle.
- Interior architecture
- Reworking the plan — where light falls, how rooms connect, where the kitchen and stairs really belong — before a single wall is touched.
- Joinery and stone
- Bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, panelling and libraries drawn by us and made by Irish workshops we have used for years.
- Bathrooms and wellness
- Stone, brassware and underfloor heating specified together so the detailing reads as one house, not six separate rooms.
- Lighting and AV
- Layered circuits, dimming scenes and discreet AV designed at first fix rather than added as an afterthought.
- Heating and energy
- Insulation, glazing, heat pumps and airtightness upgrades that lift the BER without stripping the character out of the building.
- Furnishing and styling
- Every sofa, rug, lamp and bed linen sourced, delivered and dressed, so the house is photograph-ready on handover day.
How we work
One point of contact, one budget, one programme.
Luxury renovation in Ireland goes wrong when a designer, an architect and a builder each own a different part of the job. We hold all three threads: we design it, we tender it to Irish trades, and we run the site week by week with costs tracked against the figure you approved.
- Measured survey and costed scope
- We survey the house, write the scope in plain language and price it properly before you commit to anything.
- Planning and conservation
- Protected structures, conservation areas and extension applications handled with the local authority on your behalf.
- Tender and site management
- Trades appointed on your terms, with weekly reporting, photographs and a live cost tracker throughout.
- Turnkey handover
- Snagged, cleaned, furnished and dressed — you walk in and the house is finished.

From owners who did it
“Thank you for the care and attention you and your staff have given to our new home. You made it happen. My husband and I are truly enjoying our newly finished and furnished holiday home. I hope you have saved before and after pictures, because no one would believe it was the same place. It is warm, comfortable and elegant — just what we had planned. You worked very hard to get just the right touches.”
“Ruth Kennelly designed and managed a complete refurbishment of my house. I trusted her judgement and style, so much so that I handed her the keys and went away on holidays for three weeks! And what a result — a fantastic revamp from old to new. I have no hesitation in highly recommending RK Designs to family and friends alike.”
