I know it feels wrong to talk about autumn but all the new collections are landing.

If you’re planning your interiors for the next season, Helen Coughlan of Meadows and Byrne lets us in on her predictions.

“The prevailing theme for this autumn is luxury, comfort and warmth worked with simple smart design using a palette of rich, deep and dark tones. When it comes to colour palette think berries, chocolates, paprikas, greens, midnight blues and golds.”

This shot sums it up nicely, we love the Moiré aubergine napkin set of four for €15.95 and the Playa antique bronze candle holder for €34.95, the larger one is 53cm and €39.95.
