Keeping with the theme of holiday homes, our Meeting the Brief feature focuses on a coastal retreat on the Copper Coast that’s been lovingly modernised and continues to evolve and we have a unique house boat in Copenhagen that employs the very best of Danish design.
This season is all about embracing the brighter side of life so you can expect to see plenty of vibrant accessories and furniture, all designed to unlock a little joie de vivre. Colour queen Annie Sloan takes us through her new book and designer Rachel Hobbs offers her expert advice on colour blocking. Over in our lifestyle section artist Johnny Hamilton explains the motivation behind his work, Marty O’Neill discovers the real Mexico and we explore the positive impact a tidy desk can have on your mind and life. Plus we have cookery to inspire, Irish artisans throughout, an area focus on Kildare, and lots, lots more.
Enjoy!
