Seattle Bound

This is one of the biggest houses I had the pleasure of designing to date. 5,500sqft of magic!! Nicole has numerous animals with her peacock being her favourite. I have always being intrigued by this elegant animal and the intricates of their beautiful feathers.

So focusing mainly on the colour of her pet peacocks feathers this was the starting point for her mood board. Vibrant Turquoise's, rich creams, Stunning navy's and touches of light gold and white.

Nicole had envisioned this entrance hall to be inviting by adding a seating area in this room. Shadowed by beautiful panelled wall and adding soft furnishings. The main focus was to keep this room light and bright with the feeling of space. So adding a mirrored feature ceiling, mirror on the wall, a full glass Crittall style front door would reflect an amazing amount of light to this room.

It really is a Entrance hall of dreams!!

 

Main Bathroom Inspiration

Galway

We all have that one person or house that when you see their interior styles in passing trawling through numerous house build pages or Pinterest you instantly shout 'that is me in everyway' Reaction-SCREENSHOT. Well this is exactly what Danielle's design is right here for me. A stunning and unique and elegant bathroom Design.

Like always I have a brief conversation with my clients whether it is on the phone or through emails. I can easily say the first two minute conversation with Danielle, I knew instantly how she envisioned each one of her bathrooms to be.  

I am a massive fan of statement walls in builds, but there is something special about a statement wall in a bathroom. It doesn't have to be tile, It can easily be accomplished with paint or if you are looking for something very different, you could try wallpaper or Natural stone, like in this design right here.

A white crisp and clean line tile with glimpses of grey paint, the perfect amount of lighting and that spa like shower with a natural stone accent wall. HEAVEN!!! 

 

 

Boutique Hotel in Mayo

The owner of a boutique hotel in Co. Mayo, which is undertaking an extension and renovation, got in touch about putting together a 3D design. This new wing consisted of two en-suite family rooms.

From first initial contact I was given a quick brief from the owner of what he would like this new space to look like. How he wanted it to feel. The concept was to be inviting and homely, a light, bright and spacious area. He gave me free reign over the design and left me with very little instructions. No spotlights, no dark colours. He wanted it to be a space that any age group would enjoy and relax.

I was able to create that space to the client's specifications from which he could then send a design to his builder including all the finer detailing.

Kitchen Design in Mayo

One of two kitchen designs for our own new build in Mayo. A black and oak handleless style kitchen, with subtle copper detailing. 

We kept the floor tile very minimal as the counterspace and island marble already had so much detail.

As our build progressed our kitchen ideas changed slightly. We have still kept the handleless Gola system, added more lighting around the island and oak became concrete.

Having the 3D visualisations done, we were able to go to our kitchen supplier who could straight away draw up plans from what we had shown him, adding just minor changes, reducing the time spent discussing and designing the kitchen.

Who we are and What we do

 Who is ODK Designs?

ODK Designs is Lorraine Kelly, a mother of two, from Co. Mayo. I have always being Artistic and loved creating 2D models from an early age. Realistically I should have studied Architecture however I embarked a journey, a second love of Fine Art Painting. I loved every second!!  I graduated with an Honours Bachelors Degree. Continued on from there exhibiting my paintings, creating new work for awhile but there was always a missing link and that was my love of Computers and Interior Design. My husband and I began our own build in Mayo in mid-2020. So I got to work, dusted off the cobwebs and started developing my own 3D visuals for our build. ODK Designs was in action.

What do ODK Designs do?

Building your home is one of the biggest and most exciting projects you will probably ever undertake, it is also the most daunting!

Every build is different and unique with lots of decisions to be made before that vision of your home is complete. With proper planning and organisation from the start building your dream home can be enjoyable.

3D visualisations can take the stress away from you and your build. They will show you details that you may have missed in your planning process and guide you in the right direction. 

You may have a certain room or a vision in your head but it gets lost in translation when putting it in words or down on paper. You have countless pins from numerous pages like Pinterest, but you don't know how they will look in your build. You may have purchased sanitary ware or vanities for example, and have found yourself wondering how will they look within a certain room. This is where ODK Designs come in.

What I need from you

• A well dimensional 2D plan which includes door and window details.
• A collection of images that inspire you.
• Time for a one to one conversation with each client in order to gauge their likes & dislikes
• What are your goals for this particular space? 
• What would you like the final outcome of your space to feel like?

What you will receive

I take this information and I create 3D models of your space. I work in close proximity with each client ensuring every area is covered and is 100% to each client's satisfaction.

At the end of the process you will get multiple photo-realistic 3D designs, a 10 second walk through video and will gain more confidence walking into a shop knowing exactly what you want and how it will look in your space.

How much will it cost?

Estimate pricing per room will range from €80 to €200 depending on size and detailing. Pricing will be discussed with clients upon first contact.

When can you expect final images?

A timeline will be discussed with each individual client prior to the start of the design process. Usually a completion date of one to two weeks, depending on the size of the project.

She has an eye for detail and a passion for design. Her 3D work is outstanding. We are currently in the process of picking tiles and the staff in the tile shops have commented on her work. It made our life so easy. I would highly recommend Lorraine, 110%. A total lady who is excellent at what she does."
