Show homes have a difficult job to do.

They need enough personality to feel like a real home, but not so much that you can’t imagine making the space your own.

A little glimpse of one we’re currently fitting out.

But that doesn’t mean they have to be bland, neutral or play it safe.

For this one, we’ve used soft blue-greys throughout, with deeper blues, warm whites and plenty of texture to give it its own character.

These snaps are a little glimpse of how this room is coming together. Can’t wait to share it once it’s finished .

Does your home smell as good as it looks?

Denise’s latest piece for The Irish Times looks at something we don’t always think about when it comes to our homes — how they smell.

From nose blindness and pet smells to ventilation, cleaning products and home fragrance, Denise shares a few simple ways to make sure your home smells as good as it looks.

We’ll share the online link when it’s available.

The secret to a really chic interior?

Borrow a trick from fashion and add one thing that’s a little unexpected.

Just as an unexpected scarf, bag or piece of jewellery can transform an outfit, one surprising choice can completely change the feel of a room.

Here, it was colour.

Earthware is from Mood, the paint collection Denise developed with Alchemist . A warm, dusty , earthy shade that adds just enough of the unexpected to make the whole scheme feel more considered.

Some details deserve a second look.

The striped tile detail continues into the skirting, subtly connecting the walls and floor.

Most people see a building site…

Swipe to see what we see.

The Vision…

Midway through a build, it can be difficult to imagine the finished home. That’s why we create detailed visualisations to help our clients see beyond the construction and have confidence in every decision.

No two homes should ever tell the same story.

Every project starts by understanding the people we’re designing for. Their lifestyle, personality and aspirations become the foundation for a concept that’s entirely their own.

Only then do we begin selecting the materials, colours, textures and details that bring that vision to life.

Swipe through to see how this living room developed from the original concept to the completed space.

So many of the details in this project began with a single slab of natural stone.

With natural stone, you don’t buy the exact pieces you need. You buy the slab. That means every cut needs to be carefully planned.

By planning ahead, we made the most of the slab while reducing unnecessary waste.

The same stone continues into the powder room, creating a subtle connection between different spaces throughout the home.

People often ask where we get our inspiration.

Sometimes it begins with a single material.

Seeing stone in person reveals colour, depth and movement that you simply can’t appreciate from a sample. It’s often the spark for an entire project.

We used the same idea over and over again.

Repetition in a room doesn’t have to mean repeating the same colour, material or style. It can also be about form.

Look closely and you’ll see the same soft, rounded shapes repeated throughout this space. The curved edges of the dining table, the cylindrical legs, the looping form of the pendant light and even the soft folds of the voiles.

It’s those subtle repetitions that help the room feel calm, cohesive and considered.

It’s one of those design details you may not consciously notice, but it can be what makes a space feel considered and pulled together.

Sometimes it’s not about adding more. It’s about creating a connection between the things already in the room.

What’s taking shape here?

Swipe to see the vision.

Every project starts with a vision.

When a project is at the steelwork and concrete stage, it can be difficult to imagine the finished result. That’s why we love sharing our vision alongside these progress shots.

This project is a contemporary extension to a period home. Rather than trying to imitate the original house, the extension has been designed to complement it while creating a much stronger connection to the garden.

The curved glazing isn’t just a design feature. It’s there to frame the views, bring natural light deep into the home and make the garden feel like an extension of the living space.

Really looking forward to sharing more as this project progresses.
