Maike Design

Maike Design was with us from the start and helped navigate an often overwhelming process for first time renovators. Mairead was a pleasure to work with - she is knowledgeable, listened to what we were trying to achieve and provided creative, modern, functional and beautiful designs that worked alongside the heritage aspects of our home that we wished to keep. Although our renovation did not progress, we would not hesitate to recommend Mairead or work with her again in the future.

Mairead was amazing with our renovation from start to finish - helping us through the process each step of the way, identifying the things we loved and building our own personal style into her amazing designs. The project management throughout the build was excellent, we knew that she was on top of every piece of the puzzle, with great communication and quickly resolving any issues or tweaks to the design as needed. Her ability to source fabulous materials, and put us in touch with local suppliers for furniture was also incredibly helpful. You can tell she loves and takes pride in her work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her if you are looking to create a home that is truly yours and one of a kind.

We really enjoyed working with Mairead to realise and enhance our dream family home. Mairead struck the perfect balance of listening to what we wanted but also offering new ideas and perspectives on how to achieve it. She was professional, punctual, innovative and helped create (at least what we consider) an aesthetically pleasing home which is also warm, functional and low maintenance. And best of all, we managed to do it without an extravagant budget. We couldn't be happier in our home. Thanks Mairead!

Mairead's advice and design was invaluable to our renovation. She made our ideas come to life. Her professional and quality design skills have made our 1960's run down house into a modern sleek beautiful home. Her knowledge of how every aspect of the build comes together has made the decision be so easy. We can not thank her enough.

Mairead was great to work with when designing our apartment interior. Mairead is very creative and was quick to understand what we wanted; she was 'on the same page' and was able to work with us to achieve an outstanding result. Each room in our apartment has its own flavour but Mairead's influence extends throughout. Mairead also gave us valuable advice on future possibilities. The timberwork she designed fits beautifully into the spaces. We would have no hesitation in working with Mairead again on any future projects. We feel very lucky to have been able to work with her.

Our complete home renovation and garage conversion was planned during Covid and conducted solely via internet and email. Despite this Mairead was able to understand our needs and design our home to enable us to age in place with beautiful but practical fixtures and fittings.She was also able to incorporate everything of importance to us- lots of storage and display spaces, easy maintenance whilst being beautiful to look at and live in.The house is everything we hoped for and more and we cannot recommend Mairead, Ricky and the Make Design team highly enough.Brian and Betty Sherry
