Each week, we ask someone based in Ireland with a passion for interiors to share one photo of their favourite spot in their home.
This week, Cliona Nic Dhomhnaill (@no.3_terrace) chatted us through her favourite spot in her Howth home: her living room.
I love how cosy this room is. Lighting the fire and sitting down in front of Netflix on a Friday evening is what I look forward to all week!
This answer definitely changes on a daily basis but today my favourite object is definitely the burnt orange velvet armchair from Made.com. I love how retro it looks and I think it fits in really well with the rest of the room.
Luckily not that much. We don’t have many surfaces where we can leave things hanging around – but I will admit I did tidy away two cups of tea and an empty packet of chocolate buttons for the sake of the picture!
The room already had a very rustic and country vibe as you can see from the slate floor and the textured plasterwork on the wall, so I knew we had to honour that styling and find key pieces that would work well in a room like this. I love midcentury modern and found a lot of inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram and knew that aesthetic would really suit this space so we just rolled with it. I was determined to have a velvet green sofa so made sure I got that in and based a lot of our other purchase decisions around that.
Honestly not really. It’s still a work in progress and there are still some bits here and there that we need to get for the place but I wouldn’t change anything about it, just add to it.

Heartbreaking, very brave young lady, keep going. You are amazing. Best of luck, Katie
Thank you for sharing your story Katie, you really are an inspiration and have a great fighting spirit full of positivity . I wish you well with your treatments and future health.
Heartbreaking
I’d often wondered what it would be like to be told I or someone close to me has an incurable disease or tumor or whatever and how I’d react. Even thinking about it nearly brings me to tears. You, young woman are truly incredible and your attitude is amazing. Knowing that your future is going to be so unpredictable and unsettled and the way you still have a positive outlook on your life is absolutely brilliant. Wishing you and your family all the very best for the future. I’m off to give my daughter’s a hug.
