So, the first ever Dublin Design Night happened last night and the city centre came alive with the chatter of happy interiors shoppers. In amongst the various design and crafts workshops and demos on offer, cocktails were imbibed, taster plates devoured, discounts snapped up… and nine of the city’s best interiors and gardening stores got to shoot the breeze with?customers old and new.
ICYMI, here’s a flashback to what went down on last night’s super-fun design trail, the first of many, we hope…
Season-appropriate mini pumpkins and squashes at floral favourite Appassionata Flowers.
Find in Temple Bar was well worth finding, with gorgeous?gratis?grapefruit cocktails on offer.
