Furniture and art historian, Claudia Kinmonth, shares the history of the iconic Irish dresser and how to style it.

“Styling is an individual matter, but our dresser is really useful as well as beautiful, so as well as all our favourite mugs (which return from the dishwasher onto the dresser hooks, like clockwork), we usually display any shiny spoons which fit into the slots.”

Claudia is also the award-winning author is Country Furniture and Furnishings 1700-2000 and along with @corkuniversitypress is offering 20% off her book!

In our October issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living we explore 10 leading and lasting Autumn trends, here's a quick look at a few.

COLOURGROUT Colourful grout is making
waves in interiors, with homeowners opting for bright
and unusual hues instead of a standard neutral. With bathroom or kitchen tiles the unifying factor is
typically the neutral grout that holds the design together. However it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, introducing colourful grout is a fantastic way to infuse a space with an unexpected burst of colour.

BE BOLD
A surge in character-driven, rich hues is making our spaces feel more expressive and personal.

COMFORTING COCOON Cocooning your interior space is set to be a major trend for autumn – this is the act of creating interiors that completelsurround you. Designers are increasingly extending wallpaper onto the ceiling, transforming the often- overlooked fifth wall into an integral part of the room. The effect is immersive, elegant and surprisingly calming. by @ihilmagazine
