Introduction
Hello, I'm Kelly Liang, the creative mind behind Kelly Interior Design. With roots in the historical city of Xi'an and blossoms in the vivid landscapes of Ireland, my design journey is a fascinating blend of ancient aesthetics and contemporary flair.
About me
Born in Xi'an, China, I found inspiration in a city where tradition and modernity live side by side. The move to Ireland in 2018 marked a new chapter, enriching my design palette with the contrast of rugged coastlines and urban dynamism. In 2020, Kelly Interior Design was born – a manifestation of my cross-cultural design perspectives.
Design philosophy
Design is an evocative language for me, marrying functionality with art, tradition with innovation. I believe in crafting spaces that resonate, dialogues between eastern mystique and western pragmatism.

A glimpse of my work
Grafton retreat
This elegant apartment at Grafton Street in Dublin's heart has been transformed with a sophisticated design concept, featuring rich wood finishes, bold Irish limestone, and statement pieces tailored to the space.
We've enhanced the interior with soft textiles, locally sourced materials, and contemporary art, introducing touches such as a bespoke reading nook in the living room, accent lighting, and abstract sculptures.
The resulting design marries Dublin's lively character with understated luxury, creating a home that reflects the pulse of Grafton Street while providing a serene urban retreat.
House of art
The design scheme for this apartment combines organic shapes and natural textures with feminine lines and sculptural details. Blending the elegance of the traditional with the boldness of the modern, this space has a classic, timeless appeal.
Original architectural details are celebrated: the floor to ceiling windows are gently framed with a sheer, the extraordinary ceiling heights complemented by statement pendants.
By caring about what really matters: serenity, beauty, craftsmanship and history, this is design that invites life.
