THE TRANSFORMATION
From dark and dated to warm and light.
Most of our clients inherit interiors built for another era. Dark wood, closed rooms, cold tile. Drag the handle to see what changes when design and execution come from one hand.
Full turnkey renovation · Achada, Ericeira I kitchen, custom joinery island, flooring incl. heating
Light, built into the wood.
THE HIDDEN DIFFERENCE
Every Helmrich piece can carry its own light: warm LED lines routed into shelves and plinths, touch sensors hidden in the grain, scenes that follow your evening. No visible fittings, just joinery that glows.
What clients say when it’s
finally done right.
“Richard managed our full house renovation while we were living abroad, and the project was handled with great professionalism throughout. As an architect, I completed the initial design of the house, which Richard followed precisely, while also enhancing it with his excellent eye for interior design and detailing.”
Sara H.
Architect · ERICEIRA“We are soo happy with the result. The whole process was stress free, at one point we were even a week ahead of schedule. Richard is precise, reliable, always available, and gathered a great team around him - both locals and foreigners. He is also supported by his large family business in Germany, where all products are made and shipped from to Portugal.”
Chris & Lily J.
Family · ERICEIRA“Really happy with how our collaboration went with Helmrichs Interior Design! Richard made everything so easy - communication was smooth, the installation came in on time and on budget, and he was super helpful throughout the whole process. My client was very happy with the result. Definitely looking forward to working together again on future projects!”
