Now that we're going to be spending more time in our homes - staying in is the new going out, after all - wouldn't it be nice to open the door on a stylish and welcoming interior?
Style guru Eoin Lyons presents ideas to maximise the potential of all sorts of houses in his new book, Home Comforts(Currach Press, €25). "Inspiration and attention to detail are more important than having lots of money to spend," he says. So, no need to empty the piggy bank, then. "Small, informal arrangements of flowers are effective on any surface," Lyons suggests, which gives us free rein to raid the garden. Even if you don't get around to implementing the clever and accessible suggestions that this book is crammed with, you'll have hours of pleasure gazing at the dreamy selection of interiors that are featured.
