1 Style-25:We love entrepreneurship at Webwatch and Blarney girl and design lover Deirdre O’Sullivan is opening up a new boutique dedicated to all things interior. So that’s exciting. Apr 2 is when she throws her doors open to her sure-to-be adoring public. She wants to bring ‘unique, eclectic and fun’ interior products to Cork and using furniture as her canvas, Deirdre says the possibilities are endless. We can’t wait to see what she comes up with. If the 1870s antique blue dresser we spotted on Facebook is anything to go by, she’s on to a winner.

2 Box 7 Design:Commercial interiors are really showcased in this fantastic site where the range of stuff is staggering. Founded by Ronan Carton, it offers a balance between beautiful design and cold, hard commerce. A phrase that pretty much sums up the ethos is a quote from designer, Raymond Loewy: ‘There is no curve as beautiful as a rising sales graph’. Go onto the Design Blog tab and settle in for an hour of gaping. The hotel trends is my favourite, from chic boutiques to the colour explosion of Hotel Missoni, Kuwait.
