Welcome

The September issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living has everything you need to see this season off in style. From real home inspiration, to expert advice and all the latest news, trends and product releases we’ve got it sorted.

When it comes to our readers’ homes this issue features four stunning properties. First up we have a charming period property in Cultra, Co. Down. This family home has been given a new lease of life under the direction of interior designer Kris Turnbull. Next up we have a design-led new build in Kilkenny that has been built on family land and fuses contemporary features with its picturesque surrounds. Our Donegal property is a family affair, with owners Michelle and Barry enlisting their nearest and dearest to help bring their design dreams to life. And last but definitely not least, our Newport home is a self-build project that brings together modern living and tradition.

In the first of a new series we take a tour round Cork to discover the best places to eat, sleep, shop and play, while in our travel section our resident jet-setter Marty O’Neill raises a glass of bubbly in Champagne. Our new DIY Diaries gives you the chance to get crafty and of course we have our usual cookery and gardening features to help keep you busy this month, plus much, much more.
