Hi, my name is Karen Hughes, I’m an Interior Designer based in Dublin, Ireland and the owner of Emerald Interior Design. I hope you find this blog interesting, informative and hopefully entertaining too.
About This Blog
I started this blog as I have a passion for design and I wanted a way to showcase designs and products that inspire me. But this is totally new territory to me, I have no writing skills whatsoever and I have never written a blog before. In fact I never even kept a diary as a child! So please be gentle with me but constructive criticism is always welcomed……. Compliments are nice too though
This blog is a work in progress. It’s mostly about interior design, projects I’m working on, people and things that inspire me. But it’s also about me, things I like, things I don’t and the day to day ramblings of my life. But hopefully, whatever I happen to be rambling on about, I will keep you entertained along the way.
I hope to keep this blog updated a couple of times a week, but that could change depending on my mood, workload and energy levels. Watch this space……
Please drop me a line with any suggestions or opinions or assistance if you think I might need, I’d love to hear from you.
Karen

Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.Tweet Tweet
