Get affordable luxury at Barry & Byrne Kitchens
When Tim Barry and John Byrne opened their first showroom in Cork in 2021, they had a clear vision: to bring affordable luxury to Irish kitchens.
In four years, this ethos has propelled Barry & Byrne Kitchens from a single location to showrooms across Cork, Tipperary, and now Galway.
“From day one, our ethos has been ‘affordable luxury’,” said Tim Barry, who brings nearly 30 years of industry experience to the company.
“We believed that exceptional design and quality shouldn't be reserved for the few who can afford premium prices. We wanted to make luxury kitchens accessible to more Irish homes.”
That promise of affordable luxury has resonated with customers. From their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Tipperary, the team produces kitchen cabinets featuring 18mm MFC with 18mm solid backs as standard – specifications typically found only in high-end ranges.
“Our manufacturing approach in Tipperary is the backbone of our affordable luxury promise,” explained John Byrne, who brings over 37 years of kitchen industry experience to the company. “By controlling the entire process ourselves, we deliver luxury-grade kitchens without the luxury price tag. We're offering what the established players can't – or won’t.”
Customers have embraced the concept.
Maria, who recently renovated her home in Cork, said: “Barry & Byrne delivered a kitchen that looks and feels high-end, but at a price that actually worked with our budget. The quality and design make it feel like we spent thousands more than we did.”
From the traditional elegance of their Wakefield range to the bold statement of the Harlem in Heritage Green, Barry & Byrne offers luxury-inspired options for every taste, with transparent pricing available on their website – a refreshing departure from industry norms.
“We believe true luxury should come with clarity, not confusion,” added Tim. “That's why we're transparent about our pricing – no surprises, just honest value.”
As they continue their expansion across Ireland, this family-run business is redefining what affordable luxury means in kitchen design. Ready to transform your kitchen?
