If You Haven’t Heard of Multi Stem, It’s Time That You Did.
I don’t like fussy pattern. And I’m not a huge fan of floral. But I love Orla Kiely’s Multi Stem. And I’m not entirely sure why. Actually, I do know why. It’s refreshing. It’s uplifting. And it’s fun.
Fotoshop Fail – The Legacy Continues
Fotoshop Fail is about applying an extremely basic image editing tool and using organic and rustic techniques to transform a photograph without actually enhancing it. Get my drift?
Grey + Yellow = The Perfect Combination
My colour palette for a contemporary colour scheme consisted of 3 different shades of grey, a vibrant and strong shade of yellow, and a small amount of black. Perfection!
The Perils Of Being A Perfectionist
In my last post I uploaded renders of various rooms for a design concept, but I wasn’t happy with some of them. A couple of those renders were a little noisy and I know exactly why. I needed to shine more light on them…
Finally! The Big Reveal
Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to finally post snippets of my research work, the technical aspects of my work and the renders that I created in support of the various design concepts for this space.
Andy Warhol: Weird or Wonderful?
My knowledge of the late Andy Warhol; the internationally acclaimed Artist is very limited. So in an attempt to widen my understanding of Andy Warhol I attended an exhibition in The MAC, Belfast.
The CAD Chronicles
My new found skills and knowledge of various CAD software applications and in particular photo-realistic rendering, has really surprised me. I get my biggest sense of achievement from teaching myself all of this stuff.

Put Your Design Savvy To The Test
Are you all about the high-end ‘designer’ look, or do you prefer shopping around on a more modest budget for a similar design? It’s time to put your money where your mouth is; we’re going to play a game called ‘Don’t be ridiculous, of course I know the difference between designer and budget’.
Inspiring Blog Award
I’m not a fan of Sundays because I have a loathing of what’s to follow: Monday. However, one of my budding bloggers, Rachael the esteemed owner of Interior Thinking very kindly nominated my little blog for the Inspiring Blog Award. How nice!
Boutique-Hotel Chic
This style of interior design is sleek, polished and showcases glamour, luxury and contemporary design to great effect. But why should it be restricted to Boutique Hotels?! Heck, we all deserve a little luxury! I have provided my take on this style but with a quirky twist: RETRO baby!!
Lifts Want To Be Inspirational Spaces Too!
In total there will be 2 design features within this space that will give a gentle nod to the heritage of the Lace Market; the lace Roman Blinds and the interior of the lift. Yes, you heard correctly; the interior of the lift. I like the unexpected.
Rustic Charm V Sleek – Let Battle Commence
You have to choose a coffee table for a contemporary industrial inspired space (that’s also a period building); but which do you choose? Rustic or Sleek?
So Many (Industrial) Chairs, So Little Time!
As we all know, I’m completely consumed with all things industrial at the minute. Industrial styling is an extremely contemporary, edgy and urban look that needs to be given careful consideration!
The Exquisite Pain of AutoCAD
I’ve had a number of dysfunctional relationships in my time but my relationship with AutoCAD is by far the most dysfunctional. I’ve had the pleasure and delight (serious use of sarcasm here) of devising Schematic plans for the current module of my Degree and in order to present them in a professional manner, I decided to use AutoCAD.
The Power of Accessorising
Following on from my last post about combining industrial styling with typical Georgian detailing, I have developed the Staff Breakout area further. I’ve added lighting in the form of LED downlighting but also traditional (turned) wooden lampstands.
