16. Bringing the best of commercial interiors home with interior architect Jennifer Anne Interiors
27 januari 2023 · 1 uur 8 min
This is our first guest episode of season two of The Interiors Podcast. Lees meer
I am excited to bring you this episode with Jenny Butler of Jennifer Anne Interiors.
Jennifer has many years of experience within the interiors industry, most notably seven years spent at architecture firm Henry J Lyons where she worked in hospitality and other commercial spaces before going out on her own recently.
This episode is perfect for anybody who is looking at taking on a renovation project, or updating their home to make it more functional whilst keeping their style and comfort.
I speak with Jenny about how her parents’ decision to embark on an Edwardian house project when she was a child sparked a love for interiors. How her journey through this industry has taken her from working on huge commercial projects in hotels and office spaces to where she is today, running her own residential design firm Jennifer Anne Interiors.
Jenny has also embarked on a project to renovate a small cottage for herself and her husband to live in. This was not a project for the faint hearted as the walls were literally crumbling away in theirs hands.
Jenny shares with us so many amazing hints and tips on how to create a space that you can use. The importance of understanding your lifestyle and how you move around a space before you make those design decisions. And how you can keep your budget in check and still not compromise those style elements of your design.
We also talk about the mistakes people fall into when making decisions about the layout of their home and the items that they are choosing to purchase to furnish their home, like sofas and kitchens etc.
This episode is jam packed with so many valuable tips for anybody who is planning, already started or just toying with the idea of a new renovation project or updating their current home.

5 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 11 min
This episode with Ciara and Richie is full of hints and tips for anybody who is on the renovation journey or considering renovation as the way for them to achieve the home they dream of. Lees meer
Ciara and Richie tell us how it's so important to understand your checklist of not only where you want to live, but also understanding what is important to you in terms of inside space and outside space.
They bought their house and moved in, they lived there whilst preparing all their plans for their renovation and figuring out what style they wanted, what was important for them and their lifestyle and where their money would be best spent.
As with other renovation & self build episodes here on the Interiors Podcast, both Ciara and Richie emphasise the importance of investing in good and trustworthy architects and other professionals. They tell us how their Architect (Courtney McDonnell Studio) was more than just a designer for them, she took the role of project manager. She helped them work through this mammoth process, liaising with tradespeople, and supporting them with decisions that needed to be made and sometimes needed to be made quickly.

10. Stylist Ciara O’Halloran on elevating your space like an editorial
7 september 2022 · 1 uur 3 min
In this episode of The Interiors Podcast, I chat with Ciara O'Halloran. Ciara is a Interior stylist and freelance creative director. Lees meer
Ciara has always been immersed in a creative world, growing up she was surrounded by music. At 18 when decisions had to be made about her next step, interiors wasn’t yet a huge interest, so music won out and she undertook her masters.
Fast forward 10 years and through her experience planning and organising her wedding, Ciara fell in love with the story telling side of design. Also, working with her wedding photographer led her to other opportunities, which brought her into the editorial world of styling where she still sits today.
Ciara believes that styling is essentially the art of arranging spaces or things beautifully. Ciara believes it is a skillset anyone can learn and can have a huge impact on a space when used effectively and authentically.
Ciara speaks about her move back to Cork, when herself and her family purchased a renovated Georgian building which had been converted into apartments. We speak about how she brought all her styling experience into this new blank canvas, allowing her families personalities to shine through.
Ciara explains the difference between interior styling and interior design.
If you would like some amazing hints and tips on styling your home then this is the episode for you, Ciara talks us through how styling can elevate your everyday spaces.

9. Sarah @portobellorenovation on making the most of small city homes
3 augustus 2022 · 58 min
In this week's episode I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Sarah Duggan. Sarah's home was featured on RTE Home of the Year 2022. Lees meer
Sarah tells us all about their house search, how the time they spent looking at the market allowed them to figure out what they didn't want in a home as much as what they did want. She tells us about how a chance viewing found them this 74sq m house in Portobello, Dublin.
They have made the most from this small space, while knowing that it probably wouldn't be their forever home, but it was their now home. This is a wonderful episode for anybody looking to get on the property ladder and anybody looking for inspiration of what to do if the space isn't exactly their first choice.
After purchasing the house they had to do a full renovation, rewiring, plumbing, insulation, the works with hard decisions along the way about extender or adapted the space they had.
In this episode Sarah shares some valuable tips from her experience of undertaking this massive project, for you to learn from and take on board if this is something that you would consider
We also speak about the importance of using an architect on any renovations, but especially when space is limited, for them this has meant that every inch has been utilized. Also working closely with other experts such as joiners has meant that they have cleverly created solutions in this small space.

6. Charlotte Cropper from Lick Paint on Colour consulting 101
25 mei 2022 · 52 min
Welcome to episode 6 of the Interiors Podcast. Our guest industry expert in this episode is Charlotte Cropper, an International Colour Consultant at Lick Paint with a background in textile, homeware and graphic design. Lees meer
We speak about the steps required to understand your style and colour needs and how to create the perfect palette for your home.
Key moments & stats:
"Ask yourself the question - what mood do you want to create in that space? How do you want to feel? Write down a list of key words of how you want to feel. Next, write down the things you do that help you feel that way. This is very individual. When do you use the space you're in? What time of day? Where is the room in your house? What direction does the room face in? What else is going on in that room? Look at paint holistically with the furniture, flooring and lighting that's going to go in a room." - Charlotte Cropper
"One of the biggest misconceptions is around the world colour - black, white, beige and grey are all colours. It doesn't mean we're going to paint your house in a rainbow. You have to define your particular style - someone's minimal is different to my minimal." - Charlotte Cropper
"We find white just as interesting as any other colour." - Charlotte Cropper
"What is it about an inspiration picture that you really like? Is it the combination of certain items, a mood, a colour, a texture?" - Charlotte Cropper
"I wait 6 months before committing to a colour. I might start small and buy some accessories in the colour and live with it to make sure it's not just a trend drawing me to it." - Charlotte Cropper
"Take samples shopping with you. And don't skip the moodboard." - Charlotte Cropper
"In a north-facing room, cooler colours will feel even colder, so consider warmer undertones. In south-facing rooms, the opposite applies, but rules are made to be broken. Small,
