Techniques on how to make your home look like a movie set

Rita de Brún looks at the role of set design in movies and how the same techniques can be used in a home.

BASED on Colm Tóibín’s novel of the same name, Brooklyn, the movie, has a screenplay written by Nick Hornby, Corkman John Crowley directing, and a cast that includes Saoirse Ronan, Julie Waters and Domhnall Gleeson.
