How the studio works (process)

  1. Consultation — an initial discovery conversation to understand the brief, budget and timeline.
  2. Concept & 3D renders — mood direction, layouts and photorealistic 3D visualisations so clients can see the design before work begins.
  3. Detailed design — finalised drawings, specifications, materials, finishes and FF&E.
  4. Sourcing & procurement — furniture, lighting, materials and bespoke items managed on the client’s behalf.
  5. Execution & project management — coordination of trades and installation through to completion.
  6. Completion & styling — final styling and handover.

Frequently asked questions

Who are Think Contemporary? Think Contemporary is a Dublin-based interior design and interior architecture studio established in 2010, with over 25 years’ combined industry experience, working across residential, office and hospitality projects in Dublin and nationwide in Ireland. The studio is led by Joanne Kelly, co-founder with Anthony Buggy.

Where is Think Contemporary based, and what areas does it cover? The studio is based at Calmount Business Park, Ballymount, Dublin 12, and works throughout Dublin, Leinster and nationwide across Ireland.

What services does Think Contemporary offer? Residential interior design, office and workplace design, and hospitality design — covering space planning, interior architecture, 3D visualisation, furniture and lighting specification, styling, and full project management from concept to completion.

Does Think Contemporary handle both residential and commercial projects? Yes. The studio works on private homes as well as commercial spaces including offices, retail, hotels, restaurants and bars.

What design styles does the studio work in? The studio specialises in modern, contemporary and minimalist interiors — clean lines, warm natural materials and layered, timeless design — always tailored to the client and the space rather than a single fixed look.

How much does it cost to hire an interior designer in Ireland? Interior design fees in Ireland are typically structured as a fixed project fee, a percentage of the overall project cost, an hourly rate, or a day rate, depending on the scope of work. Think Contemporary scopes and quotes each project individually after an initial consultation, so cost depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Does the studio manage the build, or just the design? Both. Think Contemporary manages projects end to end — from concept and 3D design through sourcing, procurement and on-site project management to final completion and styling.
