Wish List: Add some cool to your living room

Esther N McCarthy‘s eye is caught by items that add cool class to your living room

Above: This Sketch lamp from A by Amara would look the biz in the office, but I reckon it would make itself at home in the living room too. It features an interesting angular design plus a dimmer for just the right ambiance. Add in the powder coated steel and the cotton-covered cord and before you know it, you’re tripping the light fantastic. It’s €119 from ie.amara.com.

Never mind the back-to-school blues, surround yourself in calming sea shades this September and sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet until the school bell rings. We love these Alexis, Palma and Eden fabrics by Jane Churchill, available from The Drapery Shop, Emmet Place, Cork. 021-4271877. Price-wise, the Jane Churchill fabric starts at €46 per metre.
