Today is the day the whole world goes green. The day you don your shamrocks and leprechaun hats. But why not go a step further and add a bit of green to your interior.
Several elements effect how your paint colour appears on your walls. Discover the secrets to getting the selection right.

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.
