Enlisting the help of interior architect Gillian Sherrard, the owners began a large-scale renovation of the two storey property, which took eight months to complete
A once run-down property in Dublin is reimagined for family living, with a light-filled interior full of clever design choices.
Although its location near the sea and within walking distance of the kids’ school was ideal, the house was far from a family home and in dire need of rehabilitation when they discovered it in 2015. Enlisting the help of interior architectand builder Ken Leonard, they began a large-scale renovation of the two storey property, which took eight months to complete.
“I’m not afraid of exploring new patterns and design concepts,” says Lynne, whose favourite item in the house is the handmade Danish stove, a modern version of a classic, although she wasn’t exactly “sold” on it initially. “I hated it at first,” she laughs. “But I do like Scandi design and soon came to love its fresh, clean simplicity.”
Minimalist in colour, the master bedroom is a nod to the restful retreat of a tired parent. A white stone bath sits in the window beside the curved white wall that hides the en suite. Downstairs has a more cheerful aesthetic with colourful printed wallpaper and pops of yellow and orange in the guest and kids’ bedrooms. The open-plan living and kitchen area, despite its scope, feels soft and cosy thanks to the low-beamed ceilings, white brick, stove and timber finishes.
