We employed Helmrich's Interior Design to fit a custom breakfast bar for us in our small apartment on the recommendation from a friend. What a GREAT recommendation.

From concept through to execution, Helmrich's Interior Design listened to our needs and worked with us to present a number of design solutions within our tight budget.

Helmrich's Interior Design worked timely and efficiently and communications via WhatsApp were clear and concise. This process was completed while living overseas so there was a lot of trust involved.

Helmrich's Interior Design kept us informed at every step of the process by sending us photos of the progress. We are thrilled with the result and would highly recommed Helmrich's Interior Design to anyone looking for any interior design needs.

We are thrilled with the result and would highly recommed Helmrich's Interior Design to anyone looking for any interior design needs.

We worked with Richard on a full house renovation and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He managed the entire project from start to finish, coordinating all the craftspeople involved with great attention to detail and a calm, steady hand. Communication was always clear and responsive – even when unexpected issues came up, Richard found thoughtful, practical solutions.

On top of the project management, he also designed and built a beautiful custom cabinet and dining table for us. Both pieces are crafted with care and really bring warmth and character to the space. You can tell how much pride he takes in his work – it shows in every corner.

Highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for someone reliable, creative and genuinely committed to quality.

Sometimes the smallest additions make the biggest difference. We added this slim table element to the kitchen — a spot to prep, have a quick coffee, or even get some work done. Beautiful melamine plywood with oiled, rounded edges. It ties the s
For this project, the goal was a calm, neutral tone that fits the space without standing out too much. The round dining table is made from oak veneer, oiled in a soft white tone to match the rest of the interior. The plywood core stays visible at the
This compact kitchen needed a little upgrade — so we gave it a functional, budget-friendly extension. We used white melamine-coated plywood throughout. The visible edges were carefully rounded and sanded with a 3 mm radius, then oiled in a ligh
From the first sketch to the final clean-up: I manage every step so your project stays on track and stress-free. Design, build, coordinate — all under one roof. #fullservicedesign #projectmanagement #customhomesportugal #ericeiradesign
Every renovation has surprises — good planning means fewer of them. I’m on-site regularly to check details, adjust schedules, and make sure the right things happen at the right time. #sitesupervision #interiorproject #ericeirarenovations
Lately I’ve been sharing more from the workshop — but great carpentry only works when the project around it is well planned. Next up: a look into how I manage timelines, teams, and details to bring everything together on site. #projectman
