Interior Design for Your Next Chapter at Home

I’m an interior designer based in Dublin, specialising in helping homeowners navigate change - whether downsizing, future-proofing, or updating your home for how you live now.

    Downsizing: Moving to a smaller home and unsure how everything will fit?

    Downsizing is not simply about reducing space — it is about optimising it.

    A well-executed downsizing project can enhance comfort, improve functionality, and incorporate your most treasured possessions.

    Through considered layout planning, careful editing, and refined material selection, I help create interiors that feel spacious and intentionally composed — increasing both liveability and enduring appeal.

    The result is a home that supports a simpler lifestyle while maintaining strong design integrity and long-term value.

    Futureproofing: Thinking ahead about how your home will support you in the future?

    Futureproofing is designing for longevity in your home.

    This may involve improving spatial flow, selecting robust materials, integrating adaptable solutions, or planning for accessibility — ensuring the home remains practical and comfortable over time.

    By anticipating future needs at the design stage, we reduce the likelihood of costly interventions later.

    The outcome is a home that is not only beautiful today, but thoughtfully prepared for tomorrow.

    Mid-Life Home Upgrades: Ready for home updates that reflect how you live now and increase value?

    Mid-life home upgrades focus on unlocking the full potential of your home.

    Strategic design improvements — whether structural adjustments, reconfigured layouts, or refined finishes — can significantly enhance both functionality and market positioning.

    Carefully considered upgrades can:

    - Improve spatial efficiency

    - Strengthen flow and coherence

    - Elevate perceived quality

    - Increase overall desirability

    - Reinforce long-term value

    My approach ensures that enhancements are meaningful, proportionate, and aligned with the broader character of the home.

Bobby Lardner – Interior Designer in Dublin

I work with homeowners who are navigating a transition — whether that’s downsizing to a smaller property, planning ahead for the years to come, or updating their home to reflect how they live now.

At these stages, homes need to do more. They need to feel comfortable, practical, and easy to live in — while still being thoughtful and well-designed.

With over 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, structured approach to what can often feel like a significant and sometimes overwhelming process. My role is to help you make clear, confident decisions — without guesswork or unnecessary stress.

Every project begins with understanding your home and your priorities. From there, I guide you through a considered process, whether that’s an initial consultation and project roadmap, or a full design service tailored to your needs.

The aim is always the same: To create a home that supports how you want to live now — and in the years ahead.
