At Woodale Design Studio, we’re passionate about creating beautiful, individual living spaces. We design and craft premium bespoke kitchens, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and specialist joinery works. All of our products are manufactured in our workshop, using the finest quality timbers and materials. Unlike many companies, we do not use mass-produced kitchen doors and carcasses. When we say bespoke, we mean bespoke. Our studio team creates beautiful designs, unique to the customer’s style and personality. Our master-craftsmen meticulously produce each of these pieces, taking care to ensure it meets the Woodale values and ideals.
What makes us different?
More than kitchens, more than cabinetmaking, more than functionality, each tailor-designed showcase is a work of art, cleverly combined with the mindfulness of the essential balance of form & function. Spanning design periods where function inspires beauty, each individual kitchen creation evokes timeless style and artisan handcrafting in a new era of forward-thinking, design-led Irish cabinetmaking.
