Finishing Touches

Celene has been a huge asset to our project from the very beginning. She first became involved during the design process and offered invaluable advice when we were working with the architect. She reviewed our drawings, discussed what we were looking for from the house and brought the design to life for us. Celene is really easy to work with. Her attention to detail and appreciation of colour and design is second to none.

Celene is very knowledgeable and highly skilled and I have to say one of the most impressive interior designers that we have ever had dealings with. We would have no hesitation to recommend Celene.

I recently purchased my dream coastal holiday home in West Cork, and as I was abroad, I needed an interior designer who could provide a comprehensive end-to-end service, even in a predominantly remote capacity. I wanted the decor to exude a contemporary style while paying homage to the coastal surroundings. That's when I found Celene, who not only delivered exactly what I envisioned but also brought exceptional ideas for paint colors, window treatments, and fabrics. I am absolutely thrilled with the final result and confident that it will remain perfect for years to come. Beyond her talent and creativity as a designer, Celene is genuinely a delightful person to work with. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients, always willing to put in the extra effort. Despite hectic schedules and the time zone difference, Celene proved to be flexible and adaptable, often accommodating calls later in the day to meet my timelines and ensure the house was ready for a special occasion. Without a doubt, I would choose to work with Celene again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled interior designer. Her dedication and expertise are truly unparalleled

Celene has the ability to look at a space and transform it. Without any structural modifications, we were able to make proper use of the space we have, transforming our home to become much more functional and therefore enjoyable.

Celene worked with us on the interior design of a holiday home in West Cork, Ireland. As we are based in the UK, she mainly advised us remotely – by phone and email. She was a pleasure to work with throughout, responsive and ready to help. She came up with some great ideas for fabrics, tiles and paint colours and executed the order, delivery and fitting of them very efficiently using reputable local suppliers. Celene was also able to secure discounts for us on some products. Would highly recommend!

Our company EMH Technical Services would have no hesitation in recommending Celene Collins. Over the last year I Have worked on number of projects for Celene and the feed back from her own clients have been fantastic. Last November we engaged Celene to come to our home and give some advice. Upon receiving Celene advise we engaged Celene to complete a full design of our new kitchen. The results have been amazing, and we are thrilled with the result.

Many thanks to Celene for her invaluable design skills. My small dining room project posed a difficult challenge. I'm delighted with the results.

As we were new to the area, having support and direction that included linking to suppliers while completely renovating was really valuable. Celene Collins ID really helped to open of the house to maximise light and views. Celene PM'd suppliers in particular to ensure commitments were met and small but important matters that might otherwise have been overlooked, were attended to urgently. The end product was really great, bright, warms and very comfortable. The project was delivered bang on time.

Celene Collins recently completed interior design services for clients of ours for a domestic renovation and extension in Cork city. We were Project Managers and Engineers on the project. Celene proved very professional and practical and helped the client choose kitchen layout, furniture, finishes materials and colours in a timely and efficient manner. This greatly helped to ensure that the builder finished the job on time and assisted in the budget process.
She attended project meetings with the builder and client and guided them through the selection process, providing invaluable and creative advice at every stage. Of particular value is the 3D visual modelling that Celene offers. This enables clients to understand what the finished space will look like and facilitates design changes to be made before work on site, thus saving time and costly rework. Her organisation, creativity and presentation of information was first rate and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

We really enjoyed working with Celene on Our new build.
The outcome was fabulous!
She is a consummate professional. She was very flexible and willing to spend as much time with us as required. She is very knowledgeable on all aspects of interior design as well as knowing many suppliers and trades.
She took all of our ideas into consideration as well as recommending what looks good and what’s on trend at the moment.
We would highly recommend using Celene

Celene has that wonderful combination of practicality and creativity which immediately lends itself to "That will, or will not work".
Interior Design and Construction has been know to clash while the builder I'm using finds Celene to be a joy to work with.
Celene has a most broad knowledge and contact base resulting in speedy effective support to the Project

“ In March of this year, 2016, Celene from Homestager came to visit us to help us do up our house as we knew we needed to do an overall job. We honestly didn’t know where to start as we are a busy family with 3 young kids ( 3,6 and 10) so finding time, energy and commitment to do up our home was not possible so based on referral we hired Celene to work with us.
Celene was so enthusiastic and full of ideas from day one, she guided us through the process step by step and we ended up doing a total overall on our house by doing up our ensuite bathroom( which was so dated and is now like a spa !) , our children’s bedrooms were all done up with lovely colours on the walls. Our kitchen doors were changed and our kitchen and living area totally transformed beyond our wildest dreams. We would totally recommend Celene to help you transform your home into what you want it to be . Celene is very approachable and hands and so professional at what she does. She also included our children’s input as well at times to pick colours fabrics etc and they were always looking forward to meeting her on her visits.
Celene worked with what we wanted along with pushing us out of our comfort zones at times to choose a really classy/homely look that we absolutely love “ Thank you Celene

For our holiday let project in Ardfield, Celene agreed to step in at short notice when our original interior designer withdrew at the start of construction. She is very practical and easy to work with. While she provided plenty, she did not force any of her ideas on the project. She allowed us to work with our own ideas and within our own budget. She was quick to understand what we, as her clients, want. She has experience working from design through construction to final staging, and her ideas extended to important parts of the building phase in discussions with the building contractors.
Her experience and contact network were very beneficial to us by getting on introductions to multiple suppliers for all ranges of project essentials, such as bathroom fittings, curtains, household furnishing, interior decorations, etc. All of whom were used to working with Celene.

Gurranabraher Credit Union choose Celene Collins Interior Designs during the upgrade of our Bakers Road Office. This was a important project which included a new Member Hub, Boardroom, committee rooms and staff kitchen as well as the upgrade of our banking hall. We are particularly delighted with our new Member Hub which has received rave reviews by our members. Celene's input into the project far exceeded our expectations and the final outcome achieved all aspect of the brief.

Without Celene's vision and imagination I would never have the bathroom, in the limited space, that I have today. Her contractors were there every day from the start to the end of the project, and with one bathroom in the house that was very important.

Moving back from Asia after 12 years abroad, we decided to completely renovate our house before moving back in. We knew that it would be a challenge to coordinate the renovation from so far away and decided to ask for help. Celene has been our saviour to coordinate 10/15 contractors at the same time, give us brilliant ideas to improve the design of our interior and all within a very tight timeframe. We certainly couldn’t have done it without her input. Thanks again Celene!

A Fantastic Experience!
We worked with Celene recently to redesign 2 upstairs bedrooms for one teenager and one tween with very different requirements in a limited space.
From the outset she was both professional and understanding of our needs and likes and came up with a design that hit all the marks.
We had amazing cutomer support from beginning to end of the process. Celene was really engaged and went the extra mile at every stage. We now have 2 very happy girls. I would recommend her unreservedly.
