“Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Wicklow, Ireland, Rathsallagh House stands as a testament to timeless elegance,
and much of this credit goes to the impeccable work of Collette Ward Interiors.
From the moment you step through the doors of Rathsallagh House, you are greeted by an atmosphere that seamlessly combines classic charm with modern comforts. Colette Ward Interiors has managed to strike a delicate balance, preserving the historical character of the
House while infusing it with contemporary elements that enhance the overall guest experience.
The choice of colour palettes throughout the house is nothing short of exquisite. Soft, muted tones create a sense of tranquillity and warmth, while carefully selected accent colours add vibrancy and personality to each room.
Colette War Interiors are creative, professional and efficient, we can recommend them without hesitation.”

“Linda was an absolute (very patient )dream to deal with, she came into our house and changed it for the better, her huge ideas to her little touches were amazing, she was available 24/7 7 days a week and would constantly send more colours, lights, rug, ideas daily. I could not recommend Linda and all the ladies in Colette Ward Interiors enough”

“Fresh thinking with a twist! This is how I would describe Linda Hannay, with whom I consulted when dealing with Collette Ward Interiors. Linda helped me to put together a “look” for our new house that ensured a sense of flow and connection between all the rooms, ensuring that it was fresh and modern.
She made me step outside my comfort zone to a certain extent, and I am so glad she did! I love the contemporary, homely look and feel of my house and look forward to dealing with Linda again in the future, as I still have more on my wishlist! I would highly recommend using Collette Ward Interiors.”

“This was our first experience of working with a professional interior designer and it was a joy! Our project was a large sitting/dining room, stuck in a minimalist time-warp, with the dining function no longer required, and with all the charm of a doctor’s waiting room!
Colette transformed our room into a modern, vibrant, welcoming space which we love. Colette is a very warm, creative, energetic person to work with. We found her and her team a pleasure to work with.
Collette interprets what you, the client, wants and delivers on time and on budget.”

“Collette and all her team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Collette is a real professional and instantly got what we wanted for our project. She has a very impressive showroom with an absolute mine of information and samples but is so
quick at narrowing it down for the time-poor clients that we were.
Her appraisal of our needs was so fast and we found the service to be excellent value for money. Costs were discussed at all stages of the project and we felt supported in all our decisions and were given the nudge to step outside our comfort zone, which we greatly appreciated.
I could not recommend Collette Ward Interiors more.”
— CIARA MURPHY
“I had a small fire in my sitting room and I just didn’t know where to start to replace everything so I contacted Collette Ward Interiors and I had no more worries, Linda looked after everything for me. She was so professional and nothing was left to chance. Thanks again”
