Life By Design

Life by Design was founded by interior designer and artist Freda Stack, who has been creating beautiful and inspiring spaces for many years. Her design career began in New York, where she worked on commercial projects for names including Macy’s, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, before moving into residential interiors.

Freda works predominantly with residential clients throughout Dublin and the surrounding areas, creating homes that are stylish, individual and, above all, personal to the people who live in them. She also offers online interior design consultations, allowing her to work with clients much further afield.

You’ll notice that no two Life by Design projects look the same. Freda believes that great interior design isn’t about imposing a particular style on a client. Instead, she takes the time to understand how each client wants their home to look, feel and function, helping them discover and define their own personal style.

From there, she brings together colour, furniture, lighting, texture and carefully considered details to create a home that feels cohesive, beautiful and uniquely theirs.

Where required, Life by Design also offers a neuroinclusive approach to interior design, recognising that the way we experience our surroundings can be very different from person to person, individual sensory needs are considered. From lighting, colour and acoustics to layout, texture and visual stimulation — helping to create a home where every member of the family can feel comfortable, considered and at ease.

As an artist herself, Freda also has a particular eye for choosing artwork and understanding the impact it can have within a space. Where required, she can source beautiful original artwork for her clients or provide pieces from her own collection, adding that final, personal layer to a home.
