Welcome

[dropcap style=”square”]W[/dropcap]elcome to the May issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living which, as usual, is packed full of all the advice, news and inspiration you have come to expect from Ireland’s largest selling interiors magazine.

We have four stunning readers’ homes for you to explore including a seafront property in Ballyholme, Bangor, which pays homage to its owners’ Scottish heritage; a design-led new build in Kildare and a chalet in Kilkenny that’s taking inspiration from its owner’s love of the great outdoors. There’s also a sleek modern new build in Limerick that’s packed full of colour and personality as well as two readers’ kitchens to help inspire you with your own projects.

From bathing, to sleeping and cooking, we have your interior needs covered in this issue. We also have a flooring feature that looks at styles for the entire home and with the good weather (hopefully) on the way we take a look at some of the newest and best outdoor furniture options. Our design experts include Carly Anderson, Denise O’Connor and Jane Higgins; plus we’ve gardening tips from Conrad, travel with Marty and clever cookery ideas from Kitty Coles to help make your weekly shop go further.

With this issue we officially launch our 30th birthday celebrations with news of our first ever awards ceremony, which takes place on 1st November in the stunning Round Room at the Mansion House, Dublin. Enjoy the read.
