Like the look of this week's houses? Edel Morganshows how it's done
Hollywood glam hits the walls at Carton Demesne
There's no need for chandeliers or chaise longues in the media room of the golf course house at Carton Demesne because full-on Hollywood glamour is instantly created by the dramatic wallcovering.
Black and white apart from the red lips of Brigitte Bardot, Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly, the wallcovering, made by a Swedish company, can be ordered through interior designers Spirit and Style (045-892582) and costs around €2,000.
The good news is that you can have any picture made into a wallcovering, even a giant photograph of yourself if you're going through a "me, me me" phase.
The Rolf Benz taupe three-sided leather couch is another luxurious statement piece with arm rests that double as tables to rest your popcorn on. It costs €13,003 from Houseworks (01-676 9511). The enormous footstool is part of the same range and costs €2,821.The cushions in Romo fabric are also from Spirit and Style, who did all the interiors in the house and cost €70-€80.
The lamps are another integral part of the overall look: the Calice lamp on the left costs €1,601 and the tripod lamp from Spirit and Style Interiors costs €2,200. Houseworks has 15 per cent off all Rolf Benz orders until September 27th.
