where beauty is felt
a sensory-led interior design studio, where simplicity and quiet function shape
spaces of story, beauty & belonging for life’s next chapter.
welcome….
if you find yourself on the edge of a new chapter, craving a home that feels calmer, more intentional and quietly reflective of you……..you’re in the right place.
lets begin with…..
quiet Inspiration
honest materials that age gracefully, telling their own story over time. Every mark, every nuance becomes part of a home’s unfolding narrative .
The shifting tones of our Irish coastline, paired with the richness of our heritage and craft, provide a gentle, endless source of inspiration, when guiding each space with a sense of the familiar.
elevating your everyday
We create beauty that is felt - an approach that underpins every space we 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 the future.
Through a relaxed modern lens, I craft spaces that are considered but never precious. 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 - when comfort and ease come first, and where authentic living is shaped through material choice, atmosphere and feeling.
tigh pronounced tigg or tee is the Irish word for home, homestead or cluster.
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 - your first personal step
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 decided to attend her ‘beyond the backsplash’ masterclass last October with the intention of a kitchen cabinetry ‘refresh’, but by the end of it, I was reimagining the entire space, seeing my home in a whole new light and what was possible.
Through her thoughtful and considered approach, I now see and experience my home in a way I hadn’t before. I feel grounded and for the first time, my home finally feels ‘lived-in’.

….Creating a home while running a business and making thoughtful, sustainable decisions within a defined footprint can quickly become overwhelming in a busy life. 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 and what I needed, and that made all the difference. 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 of The Crafted living framework, ‘Futureproof your footprint’. Niamh’s expertise in space planning and her impeccable attention to detail transformed our space into something truly extraordinary.
She maximised every inch of space to blend function and beauty seamlessly. The aesthetic touches she incorporated make the spaces feel both luxurious and welcoming.
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 perfection exceeded at every turn. We are beyond thrilled with our new home and cannot recommend tigh design highly enough.
