JMC Studios

Very exciting to see JMC Studios featured in yesterday’s edition of The Mayo News! 🤍

I had such a lovely conversation with Marie Sobral about my journey into interior design, from growing up in Achill and starting JMC Studios, to opening our studio in Westport and creating homes that feel personal to the people who live in them.

A huge thank you to Marie for such a thoughtful piece, and to The Mayo News for sharing our story. It feels incredibly special to see it in print here at home in Mayo.

A little progress update from our Sligo Townhouse Project.

We’re right in the middle of the construction phase, with the new layouts beginning to properly take shape. Stud walls are in, first-fix plumbing and electrical works are progressing, and spaces like the laundry room, primary suite and bathrooms are finally starting to read as the rooms we designed on paper.

It’s not quite the glamorous part of a renovation yet, but it’s one of the most important. Every detail happening behind the walls now sets the foundation for everything that comes next.

Next up: plastering, flooring, joinery and the beginning of all those finishes that will completely transform this house.

Looking back at last weekend’s feature in the Irish Examiner , I wanted to take a moment to highlight such a special project.

Our NOVAS Recovery House project was featured with the headline “Projects like this show why thoughtful design matters.”

Working alongside NOVAS and DFS , the aim was to transform the living room into a space that felt warm, welcoming and, most importantly, like home for the women using the Recovery House.

The project was made possible by an incredibly generous group of people, artists and businesses who donated their time, products and expertise, and it was lovely to see so many of those contributions recognised within the feature.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, to Eve Kelliher and the Irish Examiner for telling the story behind the space so beautifully, and especially to Niamh O’Carroll Niamh O'Carroll for bringing everything together and giving us the opportunity to be part of it.

Being involved in projects like this, where design can have a wider social impact, is always such a privilege and something I’m very grateful to be able to contribute to. 🤍

AD Every space has the power to make us feel something.

We were honoured to collaborate with and to transform the living room at NOVAS’ Recovery House in Limerick into a space that feels warm, welcoming and supportive.

Thoughtful design goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about creating environments where people feel comfortable, at ease and truly at home.

The Joules Gilmorton sofa and Kian chairs, both from DFS, are the perfect centrepiece for the space.

A huge thank you to everyone who generously donated their time, expertise and products to help bring this project to life. We were delighted to work with artists Carol Ahern and Caroline Duffy. Thanks also to Kukoon Rugs, Farrelly and Co and the fantastic team at Novas. Together, we’ve created a space that we hope will make a positive difference to every woman who walks through the door. 🤍

This room started life as a spare bedroom.

Today, it’s the primary ensuite.

The transformation wasn’t just about finishes—it was about completely rethinking how this part of the home should function.

By introducing new archways, closing redundant doorways and carefully planning every sightline, we created a seamless connection between the bedroom, dressing room and ensuite.

The result is a space that feels as though it has always belonged.

Step inside the primary suite.

What was once a spare bedroom has been completely reimagined into a luxurious ensuite within our Kilcolgan House project.

By introducing two carefully positioned archways, we connected the primary bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and bathrokoom, creating a natural flow that makes each space feel considered, cohesive and inviting.

The shower and WC are concealed behind bespoke doors, allowing the vanity area to remain open and elegant while creating privacy and clearly zoning each function of the room.

At the heart of the space is a bespoke vanity, designed with generous storage, rich timber finishes and a striking stone-effect worktop by Cosentino, complemented by carefully layered wall lighting that brings warmth and atmosphere throughout the day.

Every material was selected to create a sense of quiet luxury. Rich timber, tactile finishes, an elegant colour palette and beautifully considered lighting come together to create a space that feels timeless. We also celebrated the home’s original character by enhancing the existing window with bespoke architectural detailing, adding depth and character to the room.

A bathroom designed not just for everyday routines, but as a sanctuary within the home.

The walk-in wardrobe is next...

Still pinching myself.

Seeing JMC Studios featured across five pages of such a prestigious publication is a moment I’ll never forget. Looking back at how far we’ve come, I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built and the beautiful homes we’ve had the privilege of creating along the way.

A huge thank you to every client who has trusted us with their home and allowed us to photograph the finished spaces. Without your generosity, moments like this simply wouldn’t be possible.

Thank you also to Niamh O’Carroll for making this opportunity happen, and to Eve Kelliher for such a thoughtful interview. It was a joy to share more about our story, our approach to design, and what inspires us every day.

Here’s to many more beautiful homes and exciting milestones ahead. ✨

A little look back at a very special weekend at .

From speaking at the DFS Interiors Theatre with to meeting so many lovely people throughout the weekend, it was such a pleasure to be part of it all.

(And yes… the disco nap afterwards was very much needed.)

Thank you to for having me involved.
