"Interior Design isn't just about pretty spaces. It's about breathing life, emotion and soul into every square metre." 


As a family-owned business, Clíodhna and MJ have combined their skills, talents and work ethic to bring Velazquez McDonnell Interiors to life and share their passion for beautiful Interior Design. They understand that every client has their own vision, style and personality so they take a very personable and collaborative approach to their work. Their commitment to bespoke design means that they create concepts that are authentic to the individual needs and functionality of every space.

Being naturally climate focused, they specialize in sustainable design and use natural and sustainably sourced materials wherever possible to ensure that each design is not just beautiful, but also ecologically friendly.

The diverse backgrounds of our Co-Founders stand as one of our most treasured assets. Our team offers a unique fusion of design perspectives. The timeless charm of Irish design marries beautifully with the vibrant spirit of Mexican aesthetics. Combining two rich design cultures, our Co-Founders celebrate diversity, weaving together the best of both worlds to create interiors that resonate with warmth, character and authenticity.

Clíodhna and MJ make it their focus to travel, research and get inspired by different cultures around the world.
Venturing to different corners of the globe they've made it their purpose to enrich their design vocabulary, exposing them to diverse palettes, textures and architecture. By embracing these global inspirations, they, as designers, have expanded their horizons allowing them to craft interiors that are not just visually captivating but also deeply routed in stories from across the continents, reflecting a harmonious interplay of cultures.
