In the five years I’ve edited Livingetc, Róisín Lafferty is the only interior designer whose work I’ve put on the cover twice. It’s down to her lavish use of stone in the most invitingly friendly spaces; her embrace of contemporary shapes to create rooms you want to sink into and, of course, her unparalleled use of boldly saturated colors – those crimsons, cobalts and emerald greens.
And all three of those sensibilities come together in perfectly balanced, yet kaleidoscopic, harmony for her latest project, a formerly unremarkable – now very remarkable – semi-detached modern home in a suburb of Dublin.
