A First Look At The March/April Image Interiors & Living

A gamut of house tours – from a kid-friendly Wicklow wonder to a modern marvel in Ranelagh and this season’s design forecast from Europe’s top design fair, there’s plenty in the March/April issue to intrigue and inspire. Here’s a taster of what to expect…

Lambing Season

Hiding Out

Self-taught leather craftsman and all-round creative Garvan de Bruir take us on a tour of his self-built workshops where he produces his unusual handmade leather bags in Co Kildare.
