Welcome

The December issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living really is the gift that keeps on giving! Packed full of Christmas inspiration, we’ve got everything you need to help you show off your home this festive season.

We have eight spectacular readers’ homes, all beautifully decorated and ready to welcome you in, including influencer @thebighillhouse’s stunning new build in Co. Tyrone, a sprawling detached property in Monaghan and a renovated cowshed in Co. Wicklow. Our Homes Editor Emma Deighan chats to the owners to discover their festive traditions and how they get ready for Christmas.

We also have two gorgeous kitchen projects and interior stylist Sara Austin shows us how to create a perfect cosy scheme throughout the home. For more advice you can click the interactive QR code and head over to our YouTube channel to check out our chat with Sara and hear all about the latest trends for Xmas ’24.

If you haven’t started your shopping yet or are struggling with what to buy then you’ll want to check out our gift guide which has something for everyone. We’ve also got great festive recipe ideas, DIY decorations and in travel, Marty O’Neill shines a light on the best destinations for some winter sun. All this plus much, much more!

Enjoy the read and have a lovely Christmas.
