Our Renovation Services

Thoughtful design for existing spaces

Renovation projects require careful planning, clear communication, and a considered approach. At Cloháne, we work with homeowners and project teams to reimagine existing spaces through bespoke joinery and interior fit-outs that feel purposeful, well resolved, and built to last.

Whether part of a full renovation or a targeted upgrade, we bring structure and clarity to complex projects — helping transform what’s there into something that works better for how the space is used today.

Design-led Problem Solving

Renovation often comes with constraints. Our in-house design team enjoys working through these challenges - from awkward layouts to structural limitations - to develop practical, thoughtful solutions that enhance both form and function.

Bespoke Manufacturing

All furniture and joinery is made to order in our West Cork workshop. This allows us to respond precisely to existing conditions and ensure each piece fits seamlessly within the renovated space.

Joinery & Interior Fit-Out

Our renovation work includes kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms, storage solutions, and custom interior joinery. We design each element to integrate naturally with the character of the home, whether modern or traditional.

Installation & Coordination

Installation is carried out by our own experienced fitters. We work carefully within existing homes, coordinating with other trades where required and aiming to minimise disruption throughout the process.

A structured renovation process

A clear process is essential when working within existing buildings. From initial enquiry to final installation, we guide clients through each stage with transparency and care.

Our renovation journey typically includes:

Initial enquiry

It starts with a conversation. We listen before anything is made.

First meeting and brief discussion

Understanding your space, needs, and intent. Good design begins with the right questions.

Design proposal and layout development

Clear ideas, thoughtfully considered. Built around longevity, not trends.

Design refinement, samples, and revisions

Details refined, materials confirmed. Because getting it right matters.

Site visit and final measurements

Measuring twice, planning properly. So the final piece fits perfectly.

Final sign-off

No shortcuts, no surprises. Only confidence in what’s being made.

Workshop manufacture

Crafted by hand in our workshop, with care at every stage. Built to last a lifetime, so it only ever needs to be made once.

Installation

Carefully delivered and precisely fitted. Respecting your space and the work.

Project completion

A piece made to live with you. Timeless, enduring, and done properly.

This approach allows us to manage expectations, maintain quality, and deliver work that feels calm, resolved, and well executed.

Projects

Spaces We’ve Shaped

Our renovation work ranges from single-room upgrades to full interior transformations. Each project is shaped by the existing space and the people who live in it.

This family’s home has evolved over years, with bespoke interiors, storage, furniture, and hidden custom features.
