where beauty is felt
a sensory-led interior design studio founded in Cork for those on the edge of a new chapter, craving a home that feels calmer, more intentional, more quietly you.
welcome….
this is where architectural clarity meets fine art sensibility, spaces shaped by story, beauty and belonging, considered enough to hold who you’re becoming next. If your home has only ever held everyone else’s needs, you’ve landed in the right place.

quiet inspiration
elevating your everyday
I create beauty that is felt, an approach that underpins every space I design. Rooted in function and shaped around daily routines and rhythms of real life, each detail is considered to bring a sense of ease, intention and quiet sensory richness to your everyday, and into what comes next.
‘‘Every mark, every nuance becomes part of a home’s unfolding narrative’’
Through a relaxed modern lens, I craft spaces that are considered but never precious. Visual Art and the work of designer-makers are woven throughout your home, bringing depth, meaning and a quiet sense of belonging.
homes designed for everyday living, where comfort and ease come first, shaped through material choice, atmosphere and feeling.
tigh pronounced tigg or tee is the Irish word for home or homestead.
stillness & space - your gentle introduction
A light-touch way to experience working with me. stillness & space helps you pause, reflect and explore, small thoughtful shifts to help you see your home, and how you live in it a little differently.
Often, its not the big changes that are missing - its the quiet ones.
A self-contained step you can take on its own, or it can naturally guide you to a Design direction call when you’re feeling ready.

design direction call
a calm, considered 55 minute personal conversation is the first step to working with me, wherever you find yourself. This call helps us uncover what matters most to you and your space, and the possibilities ahead.
It might be all you need - a single, light-touch session to gain clarity- or it could be the next step in one of my offers. There’s no pressure to commit; its simply an invitation to begin experiencing how thoughtful, layered design can quietly elevate your everyday.

stories from homes we’ve shaped - 01
….Niamh helped me fall in love with my home all over again. I had been moving through it without really noticing it, caught up in the busyness of life. I attended her ‘beyond the backsplash’ masterclass last October with the intention of a kitchen cabinetry ‘refresh’, but was reimagining the entire space by the end of it, seeing my home in a whole new light and what was possible.
Through her thoughtful and considered approach, I experience my home in a way I hadn’t before. I feel grounded and for the first time, my home finally feels ‘lived-in’.

….Niamh brought not only a clear understanding of how design actually works, but also a rare level of wisdom, empathy and care.
She really took the time to understand me. I trusted her advice, felt supported throughout the process and genuinely valued her enthusiasm and integrity.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants a home that truly works for them now, and well into the future.

….We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work tigh design did on our home. We invested in Step 2 ,‘Futureproof your footprint’. Niamh’s expertise in space planning and her impeccable attention to detail transformed our space into something truly extraordinary.
From the initial consultation right through to the end, Niamh was professional, attentive, and a joy to work with. Her creative vision and commitment to our project exceeded at every turn.
