June Bank Holiday weekend in Dublin is always Bord Bia Bloom weekend. Though people typically envision prize-winning flowers or show-stopping garden designs, as an interior designer, I view this event as one of the most important dates on the Irish design calendar, and a great way to inspire interior design.

Interior Architecture does matter. Not to be confused with interior design, good interior architecture seamlessly merges the decorative/aesthetic as well as the structural and technical aspects of an indoor space. When you get interior architecture right, you truly can create spaces that foster good living.

This new year, the trends for bedroom decor ideas are shifting to a more personality-based interior spaces. Think rich textures and colours, smart technology that feels invisible, and bold ways to express one's personality and to declare, "this is me, this is my space."
