Situated in Howth, with its sweeping views of the sea, this home has been transformed to create a bright, airy space. A renovation and extension by Tyler Owens Architects gave the homeowners a much larger kitchen where they could entertain in and enjoy the sea views, while Eilish Rickard Interiors worked on the design for this new space.
The living room was designed to be cosy, without taking away from the sea views. “Tall windows frame the sea like living art, flooding the space with natural light and offering uninterrupted vistas of the coastal panorama. To preserve this visual connection with the outdoors, we treated the windows with light linen fabric, allowing the sunlight to filter through while maintaining a sense of privacy and serenity indoors,” Eilish says.
In the bathroom, the layout was reconfigured to maximise its functionality. A large skylight was added to increase natural light in the space, making it feel larger. “To complement this newfound luminosity, we opted for a freestanding bath, finished in a deep rose hue that adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the room.”
Throughout this home, both practicality and elegance have been perfectly balanced, a testament to the collaborative effort between homeowner, architect, and designer – a harmonious fusion of style and functionality.
Eilish has also just launched her spring interiors collection, should you wish to recreate some of this feel into your own home.
