COLOUR BLOCKING

Best known as the inventor of chalk paint, Annie Sloan is a legend in the world of colour and creativity.

An artist and designer turned global paint pioneer, she has written 26 books on technique, texture and fearless use of colour, the kind of titles pros keep on their shelves, like Quick and Easy Paint Transformations and Room Recipes for Style and Colour. When Annie shares a paint idea, it’s practically gospel.

For more top tips from Annie and six other paint experts, check out our NEW issue of House and Home this month.

Everyone is going crazy for this stunning renovation in our new issue:

Interior design:
Photos:

A once-modest 1950s Salthill house has been transformed into a breathtaking family home, calm, confident and quietly spectacular.

What unfolded over three years is a masterclass in considered design: sculptural curves inspired by local history, a light-filled internal courtyard, warm oak running seamlessly through the home and a restrained, mid-century palette that feels both timeless and striking.

Every inch is intentional. Bespoke joinery, hidden storage, beautifully resolved spaces across three floors, and an effortless connection to the outdoors create a home that works as beautifully as it looks.

Challenging, yes, but the result is extraordinary. A true labour of love, and one you’ll want to study, save and return to.

Interior designer shares her top tips for an inviting living room

Celebrate togetherness
Create an intimate setup: pull chairs slightly forward and angle toward the sofa and arrange smaller groupings of seats so guests can talk easily. Trays with glasses, mulled wine and nibbles will make anyone immediately relax.

Maximise seating comfort
Dress furniture with chunky knits or faux fur throws and add velvet or wool cushions in winter tones for instant cosiness.

Spark conversation
Choose one interesting focal point - a decorated mantel or styled coffee table - that becomes a natural conversation starter for guests.

Add ambient lighting
Swap harsh overhead lighting for clusters of candles, battery fairy lights, or warm-white string lights to create a soft, welcoming nighttime glow.

Introduce winter greenery
Style with fresh eucalyptus, foraged pine or holly. It’s simple, fragrant and far less cluttered than overtly themed décor.

Favourite decorating hack

I love decorating with natural materials. I gather pine, cypress and leylandii as well as berry branches from nearby woods to make mini wreaths that I dot around the house. I also use the same branches in big vases and for the table arrangement. I make garlands of dried oranges and home-baked gingerbread shapes. Candles everywhere create pure Christmas magic. Cloves in oranges spread a lovely aroma, which is a fond childhood memory. We hang them from red ribbons in the kitchen windows.

Go-to shop for something special

I tend to recycle what I have year after year and refresh with things I forage. However, when in Sweden, I adore browsing charity shops for vintage baubles and wooden candelabras. At home, my go-to shops are thebluedoorhouseandgarden in Monkstown and avocaireland. For my outfit and any last-minute gifts, it’s Rococo (Rococo.ie) in Glasthule.
