Build the Dream
Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living Magazine|May 2022
The owners of this self-build in Co. Monaghan approached the team at Atelier Interior Design to bring their home to life.
Build the Dream
The owners of this stunning self-build home had decorated the interior in order that they could move in once the build was done. They had opted for a neutral colour scheme throughout, but living in the house over the following months, they knew they needed to add some light and shade to the interiors and turned to Atelier Interior Design to help them achieve this.

Victor Branco and James Fairley, interior architects and founders of award-winning interior design consultancy Atelier Interior Design, explain, ‘Our clients had built their dream home, but they knew their interiors were letting it down and we were tasked with the brief of redesigning their home interior to create the level of opulence and interior design detail required to reflect their personality and taste.’

As Victor explains ‘Our clients wanted to create different moods for each individual space but in order to achieve a cohesive design scheme and a nice flow throughout the property we introduced elements of the same colour in each of the spaces in the ground floor, using different hues of blue, in the principal lounge, kitchen and dining, hallway and snug. We also had to keep in mind the style of the build and some of the fixtures and furnishings that were already in place and decided that a classical style with a nod to the contemporary would be the best fit all round.

‘Our clients would be living in the house throughout, so we only tackled one room at a time to cause minimum disruption for the family,’ he adds. The work took about 12 months from start to finish and the first area to get a makeover was the elegant entrance hall.’
