Coastal Cottage Retreat
Discover the transformation of a charming coastal bungalow in Kerry into a serene, multifunctional space. This design perfectly balances warmth and practicality, creating a cosy retreat for reading, entertaining, and reflecting on family memories.
Mairéad collaborated with the homeowner, a retired professional, to reimagine a dated living area into a welcoming haven. The brief focused on creating a space that could effortlessly transition between personal reflection, casual entertaining, and daily relaxation.
First Steps for Designing a Multifunctional Living Space
The design introduced a cosy orange armchair, ideal for morning coffee rituals by the window. A comfortable sofa anchors the room, offering an inviting spot for evening relaxation. Thoughtful details, such as layered textures and curated accents, create a space that invites conversation and fosters a sense of connection.

Final Styling for a Coastal-Inspired Retreat
The bright and welcoming palette, inspired by the coastal surroundings, enhances natural light and ensures the room feels warm and uplifting throughout the day. Final touches included personalised décor that highlights cherished family memories, alongside practical elements to make the space truly multifunctional. The result is a timeless living area that serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly used and enjoyed morning, noon, and night.
