500+ clients. One mission: Helping you Take Your Space.
I run Ireland’s largest full-service Style Consultancy because I believe that when you are authentic in how you show up, you are unstoppable.
From Colour Analysis to Personal Shopping, let’s build a wardrobe that reflects your uniqueness.
Take Your Space with Confidence and Impact
Your Style is Your Silent Language
Throughout the ages, clothes have done more than keep us warm. They are a silent language used to express, lead, and signify status. Your image tells the world who you are, what you’re doing, and what will be expected from you. We are all different and unique. It's best when you speak your own language, have your own authentic image. This means filling your wardrobe with clothes that reflect you, rather than buying and wearing 'other peoples' clothes. You don't need more clothes. You need more of YOU in your clothes.
Based in Ireland, I give you the resources and expertise to Take Your Space.

My Services
A Premium Service - More than Personal Stylists, House of Colour is the no 1 personal styling franchise in the world.
Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
My Shopping Clinics are a favourite among my clients. I work with four clients at a time - putting the theory into practice on the shop floor.
I have developed a second-hand shopping experience in and around Dublin. We visit a range of shops from nearly new designer shops to charity shops learning how to find the right clothes in a very sustainable way.

View TestimonialMaria explained the method in detail for both my colour and style session. While deciding my season Maria showed me the way in which my skin responded to the drapes affording me the opportunity to absorb the information while watching the process unfold. In my style session Maria made sure to gleen as much information from me as possible before a decision was made on my clothing personality. Maria was extremely professional and knowledgeable in her approach with a good measure of humour and laughter which put me at ease and reassured me that my decision to get the colour and style analysis was the right one. I found Maria to be very client centred, passionate, enthusiastic and mindful about her role. Maria went above my expectations for this process.

She has a wealth of knowledge and experience with all things ‘colour and style’ - it was an absolute joy spending a morning with her.
I know my Season wasn’t the easiest to determine, but Maria worked through the options in a thorough and professional way which filled me with confidence in her analysis

View TestimonialJust to say a big thank you for yesterday, for collecting me from the airport and for a fun and inspiring day! I really enjoyed the whole experience of the second hand shopping! And it was lovely to do it with such like-minded and friendly women. But having you there absolutely made the day!
I do go into charity shops and pre-loved clothes shops at home, but I have a tendency to just look at rails without actually lifting or touching anything. Then walking out and telling myself there is nothing there. I know I did a little of that yesterday at first. But seeing you pulling possibilities out of nowhere and seeing the others find some amazing bits of clothing has made me think twice! I love my Zara coat and there is no way I would have even thought about wearing that before you produced it!
