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.

For millions of visitors to Ireland annually, the Guinness Storehouse will be the must-see destination. Yet, underneath its touristy facade, it is quite an achievement in architecture and interior design. The achievement of the Guinness Storehouse is not merely that it is Ireland's leading visitor attraction; it is a successful case study in adaptive reuse and how the brand is embodied at every corner.

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.
