We have a striking new-build in County Down, an interior designer’s own contemporary barn-style home in Dublin, and a once-neglected Dalkey cottage that has been reimagined with future-proofing at its heart. We also explore an elegant Edwardian home in South Dublin where period character has been preserved while the layout has been transformed for modern family life, and step inside a Holywood property whose solid bones provided the perfect canvas for its new owners to create a home that truly reflects their personality.
You’ll also find two inspiring readers’ kitchens proving that practical, hardworking spaces can be every bit as stylish as they are functional.
Beyond our homes, we’ve gathered ideas for effortless outdoor hosting, while our High Summer feature sees Irish creatives share their simple pleasures of the season. If you’re still planning a summer break – or fancy a change of scenery – our Irish Escape feature offers plenty of inspiration, from playing tourist close to home to unforgettable off-grid cabins and quirky hideaways.
Elsewhere, our interiors pages are packed with expert advice on choosing the right flooring, investing in essential furnishings and discovering the latest design news, alongside our regular gardening, travel and cookery features to help you make the most of late summer.
