House Proud: Nocturnal delights

Night sky magic and romance will bring colour to any home

Image 0 of 11

It has been a marvellous month for night sky vistas, from the epic harvest moon to tomorrow night’s new moon. Bring a little of that outdoors inside for a fresh take on nature-inspired interiors. This Terre de la Lune – which translates as from the Earth to the moon – mural wallpaper is printed to order by London-based Elli Popp (ellipopp.co.uk) and costs from about €348 per 2.8m length. Each order will take about three weeks to deliver.

The Labirinto table designed by Claudio Bellini for Natuzzi captures the magenta and blue shades of the sky just before darkness falls. The acrylic-panelled design comes in three sizes – a side table that will work at the end of a sofa in a living room and a low-set coffee table that, if you light from below, will double as an ambient lighting source. They can be ordered from Navan-based 1933 Furniture Company (046-909 3012 1933, furniturecompany.ie) and respectively cost €890, €1,110 and €1,130. Irish Times readers who present today’s column can get 20 per cent off orders made before October 6th.

DeVere’s upcoming design auction has some striking pieces that will add personality and individuality to your home. They include a set of gilt French 1970s shelves, guiding €600-€900; a 1960s Italian pineapple ice bucket by Mauro Menetti, guiding €300 to €500; and an MT3 2004 rocking chair, Ron Arad, for Driade. Also included is a 1960s Italian compartmented mirror, guiding €600-€900, and a lead-lined jardinière, guiding €300-€500. The auction takes place next Tuesday, October 6th, at Number 6 Physician’s Hall. Deveres.ie
