We are absolutely delighted to recommend Fineline Design. We had a great experience working with Denise, and we were extremely happy with the outcome of our building project. Denise listened to our requirements and formulated a series of options we could easily choose from. She also came up with a plethora of exceptional ideas and suggestions which we were able to put in place and added greatly to the project. Denise also did a tremendous job managing the various other counter-parties which really lightened the load for us. The whole project was managed very efficiently, both in terms of process and budget, and we were very pleased with the result. We have received many compliments with regards to the finished project, and it is a delight to come home every night to our home. We would have no hesitation in both recommending and using Fineline Design.
Following on from our initial project, we were fortunate enough to engage Fineline Design again last year. Once again Denise anticipated our needs, and the outcome was superb. Everything went extremely smoothly, which was key as I was heavily pregnant. Everything was kept to time, and budget, and the end result was excellent. We are actually looking forward to our next building and design project…as long as Denise is involved!

Luxury Apartment Cannes
Having worked with Denise on numerous commercial projects, we were confident that she would do an excellent job on our venture into residential design. As an apartment designed for luxury rental and occasional personal use, the design needed to be elegant, practical and come within budget. Denise worked closely with both myself and our Marketing Manager, Mela, to deliver on all three. We have had a great response from our clients and are thrilled with the results.

The Tower Hotel & Leisure Centre Waterford City
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Fineline Design. Having worked with Denise on previous occasions, we were confident that Fineline Design would do an excellent job on the Tower Hotel bedroom refurbishment project. Working on an old property like the Tower Hotel presented many challenges which Denise and her team overcame. This was a €600,000 project that spanned almost 40 bedrooms and all bedroom corridors. Fineline were a great asset to us and were able to deliver the project on time and on budget.
The new bedrooms have been very well received by our corporate and leisure guests.”

“From the onset of our partnership for the complete refurbishment of the Coachhouse Pub and Carousel Dining Room, Gorey, Co. Wexford, Denise’s knowledge of the industry both on building regulation and interior fit-out never ceased to amaze me. Denise offered endless amounts of ideas and possibilites and completely respected the customers decision on the final draft. The best of everything was researched and was then tailored to suit the budget available. Denise Ryan offers everything you would hope to get out of any professional – honest, reliable and concientious and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks again for everything Denise!”

“I was immediately impressed that Fineline seemed to grasp my concept and were able to speak to me in a jargon free language that I understood. They were also able to take my ideas to a higher level of style and practicality. The team at Fineline was exhaustive in their relentless search to find the right furnishings to fit into the design brief. Their attention to detail in this regard was most impressive. The job was finished on time and budget in very tight parameters on both fronts.
The dedication in terms of effort and time from Fineline was more than I could have expected. The result was beyond what I had conceived myself. Most importantly the reaction to the style, design and layout of the restaurant from our customers has been fantastic. Every customer that has walked through the door since we opened has been seriously impressed by the room. The working atmosphere and acoustics are perfect and there is always a lovely buzz in the restaurant. I cannot recommend Fineline highly enough – they have created a stylish unique restaurant that I am extremely proud of.”

Zest! Deli Ennis, Co. Clare
”When we embarked on the development of our first retail unit, we looked long and hard for a designer who would and could interpret a brief to translate our “Zest!” brand and concept into a suitable design. From our first meeting with Denise, we were confident that Fineline would deliver and they did.
Denise made superb use of the space and accommodated all of our thoughts, ideas and wants into a beautiful design. Fineline also put together a great team of contractors who delivered on the design. Denise and Claire’s project management ensured that we were kept up to speed on progress at every stage of development both in terms of budget and timeline.
The cafe was delivered on time and has been a major hit since it opened. We receive many wonderful comments about “Zest! at the market” from not just our local customers but also international clients from the UK, US and even a family from New Zealand who came to the cafe 4 times in a one week visit to Ennis!”

“From concept inception to design delivery, Fineline have been a pleasure to work with. From onset, the Fineline team were one of the few companies to truly understand what we were seeking to achieve. Their professionalism was refreshing and their attention to detail was impressive. Their communication at each stage of design was also to be commended as we really felt part of the Fineline team. What they delivery was above and beyond our expectations with a unique handsome store that truly stands out from the crowd. We will be using Fineline for all future projects and I have no problem personally recommending Denise and her team.”

“Becketts Bar & Restaurant employed Fineline Design to come up with a total re-design and re-furbishment of our premises and they helped us achieve it in record time, such was their passion for the project and their attention to detail on every aspect. Fineline are to be commended for their imagination and creativity in the use of space, colour, materials and fabrics to achieve the overall desired atmosphere and effect. Fineline certainly went way beyond their brief on this project and we would be very happy to recommend them.”

James O’Keeffe Lounge Ennis, Co. Clare
“The lounge has been a very successful family run business for over forty years with a longstanding and loyal customer base. So for me it was a very important decision to pick the right interior designer to improve our business but to retain its character, atmosphere and history. I spend a lot of time and research to find the right people and easily the fineline team impressed us the most. They were conscious of our concerns, patient and offered great practical and design advice.
It was not a straight forward job, but Fineline spent a lot of time, work and energy to find the best layout. They offered us numerous options and superb advice on the best use of space, functionality and practicality. All the work on their numerous drawings were meticulously and professionally carried out with a great eye for detail and design. They definitely wentabove and beyond my expectations in the level of time and effort they brought to this project.
I was also very impressed by their understanding of what different and varying customers want in terms of style and atmosphere. Since opening the positive feedback we have received from our new and old customers has been immense. Using creativity and sensitivity Fineline have completely revamped and remodeled our bar into lounge which will stand the test of time. I have no hesitation in resoundingly recommending Denise and the Fineline team.”
