Home Renovation & Kitchen Fit-Outs in Dublin
What to Expect from a Professional Fit-Out Company
When you step into a beautifully renovated home, it is never just the big gestures that capture your attention. It is the details. The way cabinetry sits flush against the wall, the subtle curve of a wardrobe door, or the seamless transition from kitchen to dining area. These details, often overlooked in standard renovations, are the elements that transform a house into a home of lasting quality.
In Dublin, where architecture ranges from Georgian terraces to modern new builds, those details matter even more. Each home has its own quirks and demands a tailored approach. At Velvet Strand Design, we believe bespoke joinery is what elevates a renovation from functional to extraordinary. It is the thread that ties design, craftsmanship and lifestyle together.
Why Bespoke Joinery Matters in Full Home Renovations
Many think of joinery as cabinetry or storage alone, but it is far more than that. Bespoke joinery defines the flow of a space, dictates how materials meet, and creates harmony between architecture and furniture.
Structural Precision
Bespoke joinery is made for your home, not adapted to fit. That means no awkward gaps, filler panels or wasted corners. Every piece is designed to align perfectly with the contours of your property.
Seamless Integration
From kitchen pantries to media walls, well-crafted joinery ensures that built-in features feel like part of the home, rather than add-ons.
Longevity
Premium hardwoods, carefully selected veneers and hand-painted finishes endure not just for years, but for decades. Unlike mass-produced cabinetry, bespoke joinery can be refinished, adjusted or expanded as your lifestyle evolves.
The Dublin Challenge: Old Meets New
Renovating in Dublin presents a unique set of challenges. Period homes come with irregular walls, uneven floors and conservation restrictions, while contemporary builds demand sleek, modern finishes.
Bespoke joinery is the bridge between these two worlds. For period properties, it provides cabinetry that respects heritage proportions while introducing modern function. For new builds, it delivers a level of craftsmanship and individuality that mass-produced fittings cannot match.
From cottages in Sandymount to penthouses overlooking the Liffey, our team has designed joinery solutions that adapt to each context. The result is always the same: interiors that look and feel effortless, yet are built with meticulous care.
Home Renovation & Kitchen Fit-Outs in Dublin
Collaborating with Architects and Designers
A successful full-home renovation is rarely achieved by one party alone. It is the result of collaboration between architects, interior designers and joinery specialists who understand how to translate a vision into reality.
At Velvet Strand Design, we are frequently invited into projects at the early stages. Working alongside architects, we ensure our joinery aligns with technical drawings and architectural layouts. Partnering with interior designers, we refine finishes, tones and textures so cabinetry harmonises with flooring, lighting and furnishings.
This collaborative process ensures there are no surprises on site. It also means the finished home feels coherent, every space flowing naturally into the next
Kitchens: The Anchor of the Home
For most Dublin homeowners, the kitchen is the focal point of a renovation. It is both a functional workspace and a social hub. Our bespoke kitchen fit-outs are designed to perform flawlessly while exuding timeless style.
Custom Cabinetry
Hand-built units measured precisely to fit the space.
Practical Innovation

When kitchens are designed with the same level of care as the architecture itself, they set the tone for the entire home.
