A sophistica­ted take on a 1980s bungalow

-

NAME Gitte Trench ADDRESS Co. Wicklow DESCRIPTIO­N A small 1980s bungalow

JUDGES’ VERDICT

Talk about escapism. In terms of the finishes, the textures and the colours, I’d have to say, I’m actually envious of this person’s talent and skill. On a tight budget the owner has completely transforme­d this 1980s bungalow. Using a dark colour palette and atmospheri­c lighting throughout, she has designed calm and peaceful spaces and a warm, welcoming and very stylish home.

AMANDA’S VERDICT

Life is everchangi­ng and so is your home. Gitte’s home is a perfect example of this. There is no such thing as a finished home, it’s everevolvi­ng. I love how the owner doesn’t shy away from darkness and uses metallic notes to add cosiness and warmth.
