1960s–80s suburban homes

Suburban semis and bungalows from the 1960s–80s usually have regular, rectangular bedrooms — ideal for full-width sliding or hinged wardrobes. Replacing tired original built-ins with modern interiors is one of the most worthwhile upgrades.

Living rooms with chimney breasts suit media walls and alcove units, while attic conversions benefit from eaves storage and built-in desks.

1930s–50s semis & terraces

Bedrooms in 1930s–50s houses are compact, with lower ceilings and a box room. Sliding-door wardrobes save floor space, and the stair bulkhead in the box room can become genuinely useful built-in storage.

Under-stairs cupboards, the alcoves beside the original fireplace and the space above the box-room stairs are ideal for made-to-measure storage.

Signage for Rathfarnham businesses

Village main streets mix independent cafés, salons and shops. Timber fascias, projecting signs and window lettering suit the streetscape, and good signage helps you stand out to passing foot traffic and weekend visitors.
