Make your
statement
in style
As a Cork based interior designer I believe design needs to compliment functionality in a home. I always bear this in mind when creating a new design for a client. The choices that you make when deciding how your home will look will have a documented effect on your emotions and perceptions.
As an Interior Designer, I understand the the process and the importance of creating spaces that enhance wellbeing, that are beautiful, functional and comfortable.

My design concept is simple: a home should be stylish, functional and a comfortable space for you to enjoy. It should be filled with objects and accessories that create a unique atmosphere for you.

Biophilic Design
What is biophilic design concept
The elements of biophilic design within this emerging area of interior design is that it covers elements that have both a direct and indirect impact. From air-purifying plants to living walls, flooring, wall decor, acoustic panels, artworks, sound, scent, fabrics and upholstery.
Essentially I am keen to bring biophilic design concepts to my clients projects to improve the indoor air quality, boost occupant mood and productivity whilst reducing stress levels.
What are benefits of biophilic design
We like to categorize the benefits of biophilic design into two broad groups, those related to People and those related to the Planet we inhabit. In terms of our own wellbeing, interior spaces featuring the biophilic design concept have been proven in scientific research studies to reduce anxiety, enhance mood, restore concentration and creativity levels and provide a sense of vitality / nature-connectedness.
True biophilic design techniques use sustainable Design principles in order to minimize its environmental impact to an absolute minimum, to avoid ‘shooting itself in the foot’ effectively!
