It’s all in the detail

New from Irish interior designer Gail Wall Morris of Wall Morris Design. (See my previous post here.) A beautiful renovation and of course it’s all in the detail. I’ll let Gail explain.

It’s my own home, a 100 year-old, renovated workman’s cottage, in Blackrock, Co. Dublin, Ireland.

When I bought the house, it needed complete renovation and rebuild, in order to re-layout and optimize the space, raise ceiling heights up to the roof line. The new extension is clad in the original bricks, taken from the demolished interior walls. I allocated budget on designing an interior joinery package, so that all the detailing matched: ie – the kitchen , the external and interior doors, the trim work and architraves all tie in together. Most of the furniture I also designed. Everything is bespoke. The interior layout is built in a ‘U’ Shape and surrounds a courtyard, so that the sunlight comes into the house all day long. The colour scheme is tone-on tone caramel with accents in black glass, black granite and black-stained furniture.

This is a beautiful home and I love all the green accents

Evelisa says:

I love the glass heart. I think having a fun surprise in a design makes it even more exciting.

Karen says:

Great study in neutrals but I would get so bored with this but I could pop color anywhere and change it up with the seasons. I take that back, good study in color, could even have gone with the chocolates or greys.

What a brilliant use of limited space (especially that bedroom closet). Everything beautifully thought through, and love the colours.

Anyone know what color and brand used on the cabinetry?

Being in the roofing industry, I have to say my favorites are the pictures with the skylights. It makes such a great difference in the feel of the rooms – especially in the smaller room, like the bathroom! Beautiful!
