A WHITE BEAUTY IN DUBLIN 4

The Bungalow is a rare beauty situated in Donnybrook, Dublin 4. The plainly named Dublin property is a three bedroom, detached brick bungalow built in the 1990s with 120sq m (1,292sq ft) and a small garden – similar in style to so many others around the country although they would probably come with larger private gardens. Around 1990 a small development of nine apartments was built on a site previously occupied by houses at 50-52 Nutley Road. The short tree-lined winding road links Ailesbury Road with the busier Nutley Lane in the heart of Dublin 4. It was a low density, low height, well-designed build that left good space for parking and surrounding greenery and the developers also took the opportunity at the time to build a bungalow on the site to the rear.

Here, Interior Designer Ruth Noble of Ruth Noble discusses her involvement with this property. “I was asked by the home owners to paint, decorate and refurbish the property to update the property.

The house is completely open plan but it doesn’t feel like that. The general flow is good within the house. Functionality was very important with this house,’’ enthused Ms Noble.

As to Ruth’s overall thoughts on the project?

“The home owners were really pleased with the outcome. They wanted to brighten the house up as it had become very dated. They left the house in my hands and they didn’t return to the house until the work was completed and obviously it was a huge transformation.

“I was really pleased with how the house turned out. We used a very neutral palette which allowed us to be a bit more creative with how we brought pops of colour in to the house. The way in which we designed the house is out there without being too out there. We feel like we have updated the house a lot and we’re pleased with the reaction of the clients and how happy they are with the work we produced,’’ concluded Ruth Noble.
