What a Luxury Residential Fit-Out Service Covers

A luxury residential fit-out service takes a property from empty or half-finished to fully furnished, styled and ready to live in, with one team coordinating the whole job. Renaissance Design Studio offers complete home fit-out services, covering furniture selection, bespoke pieces and installation under a single brief. The aim is to avoid the scenario most homeowners dread: separate suppliers, mismatched deliveries and nobody accountable when something doesn't fit the room.

Scope varies between providers, so it helps to be specific about what you are buying. A full fit-out covers design direction, sourcing, delivery and placement, and can include finishing touches with an interior designer on site.

A common mistake is treating a fit-out as a shopping exercise. Furniture that looks right in a showroom can overwhelm a smaller room, and a sofa that arrives 10 centimetres too long for the wall can cost you a re-order. Measuring the space and the access routes before you choose anything is the step most often skipped.

Residential Interior Design Consultation: Where Projects Start

A residential interior design consultation is a structured planning meeting in which a designer assesses your space, your brief and your budget before any furniture is ordered. Renaissance Design Studio offers two routes: a showroom consultation, where you walk through designed room displays, and an in-home consultation, which includes a two-hour visit by one of its interior designers.

Bring room dimensions or floor plans, plus photographs or video of the space, to the first meeting. This lets the designer gather the information needed to discuss your requirements room by room. After an in-store consultation, the studio produces mood boards showing the total look for each room, sized to the space and the style you want.

The consultation fee is €1,000.00.

Types of Services Offered by Dublin Fit-Out Providers

Fit-out providers in Dublin generally split into three service levels: design advice only, product supply with delivery, and full turn-key delivery. The right level depends on how much of the decision-making you want to keep.

Renaissance Design Studio's installation and fit-out menu is priced on application, and can include any or all of the following:

• A two to three person delivery team
• Furniture set-up in the room of your choice
• Removal of cardboard and packaging
• An interior designer on site for finishing touches

The studio can supply as much or as little as you need. Its luxury apartment fit-out furniture sets, from €550.00 (prices include VAT), cover coffee tables, side tables, ottoman storage beds, dining tables and luxury chairs, and can be supplied as a turn-key experience.

Watch out: a "turn-key" label means different things to different providers. Ask exactly what is included in the price, particularly whether delivery, installation and disposal of packaging are covered.

The table below sets out the installation and fit-out menu and its key details as stated for Renaissance Design Studio.

Bespoke Furniture and Furnishings: What Is Made to Measure

Made-to-measure furniture is built to your dimensions, fabric and finish rather than selected from a fixed catalogue. It suits awkward spaces, alcoves, and rooms where standard sizes simply don't fit.

Renaissance Design Studio's bespoke range includes custom sofas, headboards and wall panels. Its Metropolitan Corner chaise sofa is custom made, with a choice of fabric and foot colour, a size of 305 x 164 cm, and costs €2,895.00. Installation is available at extra cost.

Custom luxury wall panels are priced at €995.00. King-size panels measure 150 to 170 cm wide and 210 cm high, with super king and double sizes also available, and the studio specialises in custom sizes. Custom headboards and beds are priced on application, based on the design you choose, and can be arranged through an in-store design session.

Luxury Home Fit-Out Cost: Pricing and the Factors That Drive It

Luxury home fit-out costs depend on scope, the number of rooms, the level of bespoke work and whether installation is included. Because prices vary so much with the brief, the most reliable approach is to build your budget from itemised prices rather than a single headline figure.

Renaissance Design Studio's published prices give a sense of the range. Individual pieces include a Mondial modular sofa with chaise at €3,700.00, an Eichholtz Pearl alabaster brass chandelier at €2,795.00, and an Eichholtz Dimitrios washed oak drawer chest at €4,995.00. To estimate design fees, check the senior interior designer service per hour rate. An Eichholtz Limitless wool rug measuring 300 x 400 cm is €2,398.00 ex-showroom, available to view in the studio only.

Several factors push costs up: bespoke production, high-value statement pieces, installation labour, and changes made after approval. Ex-display and ex-showroom stock may be available at reduced prices, so check availability before you plan around it.

Ask for an estimated quote after the brief has been reviewed. Once the brief has been reviewed, you will receive an estimated quote, which can be approved before production starts.

Complete Home Fit-Out: Managing Timelines, Delivery and Installation

A full fit-out is managed in phases: brief and design, quote approval, production and sourcing, delivery, then installation and styling. For a deeper guide to the schedule and coordination, read how to manage a luxury home renovation. Each phase depends on the one before it, so the schedule is only as reliable as its earliest decision.

A sensible plan orders long-lead items first and works backwards from the move-in date, leaving a buffer for delivery windows.

Renaissance Design Studio's installation service is designed to remove the coordination burden. Its installation service can include a delivery team handling set-up and placement, and an interior designer on site for the finishing touches. Before scheduling, confirm the access route, lift size and whether the rooms will be clear of old furniture and debris.

A useful test for any provider is how it handles changes mid-project. Ask how revisions are priced and how they affect the delivery date.

Choosing the Right Fit-Out Partner in Dublin

The right partner is the one whose process matches your involvement. Some clients want to approve every decision; others want a single point of contact and a finished result. Decide which you are before you compare providers.

Five questions help separate providers:

• Does the price include delivery, installation and packaging removal?
• Is there a named designer, and do they visit the property?
• Can you see completed or designed rooms in person before committing?
• How are design changes priced after the brief is approved?
• Does the provider source bespoke pieces, and what are the lead times?

Renaissance Design Studio is built around these points. It has 22 showroom displays under one roof, so you can see how a room feels before committing to it. It offers an expert in-house interior design team and a white glove delivery and assembly service.

It also runs an exclusive partnership programme for professional interior designers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during an interior design consultation?

A consultation usually starts with a conversation about how you live, your style preferences and your budget. Renaissance Design Studio offers two formats: a showroom consultation, where you explore full room displays, and an in-home consultation, which includes a two-hour visit by an interior designer covering up to three rooms. Bring room dimensions or floor plans and photos or videos of the space where possible. After an in-store consultation, the designer prepares mood boards showing the total look for each room.

What does a luxury residential fit-out service include?

A full turn-key fit-out covers design, sourcing, delivery and installation under one provider, so you deal with one team rather than several suppliers. Services can include two- or three-person delivery, furniture set-up in the room of your choice, removal of cardboard and packaging, and an interior designer on site for finishing touches. You can take as much or as little of the service as you need, and

How much does a luxury home fit-out cost?

Costs depend on the size of the home, the number of rooms, the furniture specified and whether you need installation. Renaissance Design Studio's design consultation fee starts at €1,000.00. Individual items vary: a bespoke corner sofa starts from €2,895.00, a luxury wall panel from €995.00, and a chandelier from €2,795.00. Delivery and installation starts at €120.00, and a luxury apartment furniture set starts from €550.00 with VAT included. Pricing for custom headboards and beds is provided on application, so full project quotes are prepared after your design brief is reviewed.

How long does a residential fit-out take?

Timelines depend on the scope of the project and on production times for bespoke pieces, which are often longer than for stock furniture. Ask any provider how they manage lead times, especially for items made or imported from overseas suppliers. A typical process runs from the design brief and mood boards, through the estimated quote and approval, to production, delivery and final styling. Setting a realistic schedule at the start, with the designer, reduces the risk of delays during installation.

What is the difference between interior design and a full home fit-out?

Interior design focuses on the plan, style and selection of pieces for a space. A full home fit-out goes further by sourcing, delivering, installing and finishing those pieces so the home is ready to live in. Some providers offer design advice alone, while a turn-key luxury fit-out service combines design with supply and installation. If you only need guidance on choosing a sofa or dining table, a consultation may be enough; if you are furnishing an entire property, a full fit-out is usually more practical.

Can an interior designer manage suppliers and installation?

Yes, a turn-key provider can manage suppliers, deliveries and installation on your behalf, which is the main reason many busy homeowners use this type of service. The designer coordinates the selection, orders the pieces, arranges delivery and oversees set-up, then adds finishing touches on site. This removes the need for you to chase multiple suppliers or be present for every delivery, though you still approve key decisions along the way.

How do you choose finishes and furnishings for a luxury home?

Start with how you use each room, then choose materials that suit daily life as well as appearance. Veneer furniture, for example, needs protection from direct sunlight, heat and moisture, and should be dusted with a soft dry cloth. Check dimensions carefully: the Eichholtz Drawer Chest Dimitrios measures 183 cm wide, 54.5 cm deep and 81 cm high, and dimensions can vary by up to 2%. A designer can help you balance finishes, scale and style so the pieces work together and fit the space.

Why choose a luxury fit-out service over sourcing furniture yourself?

Sourcing from several suppliers can lead to mismatched styles, incompatible sizes and costly mistakes, particularly with custom or made-to-measure pieces. A single provider can coordinate selection, sizing and delivery so the pieces are chosen with your home in mind. Renaissance Design Studio, which describes itself as an award-winning interior design studio, combines in-house designers, a showroom of 22 displays and white glove delivery and assembly, so you can compare the full picture in one place.
