More Than a Magazine.
A Voice for the Industry.

Since 1994, we have celebrated remarkable Irish homes, supported the businesses shaping our interiors industry and shared the stories of the people who bring beautiful spaces to life.
HOW IT STARTED. WHERE WE ARE NOW.

One idea became
more than 30 years of inspiration.

In November 1994, Mike Keenan founded Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living with a clear vision: to create a publication dedicated to real Irish homes, local style and the people behind them.

Within just a few months, the magazine became Ireland’s largest-selling interiors publication. Today, that original idea has grown into a family of consumer and trade titles, podcasts, supplier guides, digital content and industry awards.

The foundations were laid by Mike, but IHIL is brought to life today by a dedicated team working across publishing, editorial, design, finance and administration.
