Designing with us

Working with Studio Portobello is a collaborative process. From our first meeting we strive to deeply understand how you live in your home and what you seek from the space - practically, aesthetically and emotionally. This helps us craft a home that feels like a portrait 0f you, and to deliver a plan that alleviates the endless decisions that come with managing interior projects.

Interior Consultations

  • For assistance in a renovation or decoration project, a consultation is a focused and simplified design process to direction-set together. Following an on-site or video session, we finalise a recommended plan and deliver the relevant documentation to help you implement it in your home.

    Consultation options:

    • Decoration scheme: Coordination of colours, textures and patterns (paint, wallpaper, flooring, window treatment…) into a cohesive scheme and their recommended suppliers.

    • Spatial plan: Coordination of furniture, art, fixtures, electrical and lighting into a functional floor plan. This may be followed by our furniture and art sourcing service.

    • Custom piece: Drawing a piece of furniture, joinery or upholstery with measurements, material specifications and their recommended maker.

  • 500€ per consultation topic.

    * A discounted rate is available for combined consultation topics, or for additional spaces (standard is up to 3 rooms or 1 custom piece).

    Prices excluding VAT.

Interior Design

  • For the most refined and cohesive outcome, we accompany you through the full steps of creating a one-of a kind home. This full-service package unfolds across three key phases:

    • Design Creation
      Together, we create a complete and personalised design vision, including spatial planning, custom fixtures and your decorative scheme. We deliver detailed plans, specifications, and schedules ready to guide architects and contractors.

    • Project Management
      We are present on site and we coordinate all the technical details with interior-specific trades, such as carpenters, tilers, decorators and upholsterers, ensuring flawless execution and finish.

    • Sourcing
      This is the final layer to your home’s authentic character. We carefully curate and install artwork, vintage pieces, and one-of-a-kind objects that bring depth and distinction to your home.

  • We charge a fixed and pre-agreed fee for each project phase, with pricing depending on project size and complexity. Please get in touch for estimating your project.

Furniture and Art Sourcing

  • Sometimes, simply updating a detail can transform the way you feel in your home. To help you find the best furniture and art pieces, we source distinctive vintage, artisan, and contemporary works through our trusted European network of dealers, galleries, makers, and couriers. Acting as your agent, we work within your budget to find pieces that feel meaningful, timeless, and beautifully aligned with your home.

  • 200€ commencement fee.

    +15% fee on the total value of items, with a 1300€ total budget minimum (budget can apply to one or multiple items).

    Prices excluding VAT.

Starting your project

If you’re interested in working with us, we’d be delighted to start a conversation.

We can visit your space, and our Dublin studio is available for you to explore the materials that we typically work with or to browse some of our previously sourced items. If you are located outside of Dublin, we can begin with a video call.

Please find a time that suits you and we'll respond to confirm any details!
