about me
Hi, I’m Bonnie, an interior designer and stylist passionate about all things people and places.
I’m best known for my transitional style and designing spaces that encourage connection.
It all started in 1998 with a tin of brown paint and my mom’s blessing. Even at age 10, I was dreaming up interiors that conjure a sense of space and belonging.
I believe our homes should embody the best of ourselves — our values, our hopes, and how we desire to live our everyday.
This service is an ideal starting point or suitable as a one-time consultation to help refine or complete your own design process. Perfect for those seeking clarity and direction, it offers the guidance needed to bring your vision to life.
During our design consultation, I will attentively listen to your ideas, preferences, and aspirations for your space, providing my best advice on how to create an environment that is both beautiful and aligned with your lifestyle and budget. Whether you’re looking to refresh a single room or undertake a full home redesign, my aim is to instill confidence and excitement as you move forward with your design plans.
You will leave the session with tailored design recommendations and a clear plan to turn your vision into reality.
01 Design Consultation
Work With Me
-
A 90-minute consultation that can be conducted in the comfort of your own home for local clients, or conveniently held online for those who are further away.
A detailed overview of your consultation in a PDF format.
-
The investment is €450.
This design-only service offers a more comprehensive experience than a consultation, yet remains more accessible and budget-friendly than traditional full-service design. It’s an ideal solution for clients who want to create a space that feels considered and personal, without the constraints of rigid timelines or large upfront costs.
You’ll be guided through every step of the design process to empower you to make thoughtful decisions that align with your lifestyle, values, and aesthetic preferences. I’ll work closely with you to craft a design plan that is as practical as it is beautiful, ensuring that each element—whether it’s the layout, finishes, or furnishings—complements your life and vision.
This approach allows for a thoughtful, sustainable way to adorn your home. Whether updating a single room or redesigning your whole space, you’ll have everything you need to create a home that truly reflects who you are.
Note that you need to book a consultation before proceeding with this service.

Design-only means that I will provide a detailed design, but you as the client are responsible for purchasing, arranging delivery, and installing all the elements of your design. This approach empowers you to take charge of the entire implementation process, ensuring that all materials and elements align with your vision. You will have the flexibility to source items over time while adhering to the outlined design plan. It is essential to understand that while I provide comprehensive guidance, the execution and realization of the design rest in your hands.

The investment begins at €600 per room. After your initial consultation, I will provide you with a custom quote.
This source-only service is designed for those who are building or renovating and need professional guidance in selecting the foundational finishes that define the overall tone and character of their home. This thoughtful, design-led approach to material selection ensures cohesion and beauty throughout the entire house. It’s a perfect complement to architectural plans and builder-led projects.
Rather than a full interior design service, this offering focuses on the key tactile and visual elements that shape your space, from flooring and cabinetry to hardware and paint. With a discerning eye for detail and harmony, I help you make confident, coordinated decisions that will endure both functionally and aesthetically.
Whether you're at the early stages of a new build or refining the finishes for a renovation, this service ensures every selection feels purposeful and aligned with your vision.

my work
01 Willow Bank Project
This multi-room design makes the most of a small home's potential, specifically, a charming two-bedroom property in Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland. The layout might present some challenges for many homeowners, but this space has been beautifully reimagined with smart storage solutions, a cozy open-plan kitchen-living area, and a lovely modern cottage vibe.
02 Heritage Kitchen Project (Ongoing)
June 2025 Update: Now that the foundational elements in our heritage home kitchen are complete, I’ve been focusing on adding layers of character through functional swaps and decorative touches. From choosing a green wallpaper (for the ceiling!) to swapping in an antique-style wall unit, these updates aim to make the space feel more timeless and personal.
03 Portlaoise Bathroom Design
My client came to me after feeling disappointed with a recent bathroom update and determined not to make the same mistake twice. Drawing inspiration from her inspiration photos and the beautiful exposed brass sink taps already in the room, we created a layered, modern-vintage design that is both pretty and practical, perfect for both everyday use and guests.
