Old and cool – Brooklyn setting the example

From cottage to town house to country estates, cornice and decorative plasterwork can be found all over Ireland. But how do you incorporate the traditional elements to something cool and modern? In a new book, Brooklyn Interiors,  Kathleen Hackett has looked at the most inspiring homes in Brooklyn . The old New York Borough is now the epithomy of cool so a good start to get your design ideas going.

Colour and knick-knacks. The paneling on the walls a subtle reminder of a time when working class homes were decorated too.

Elegant plaster work, white backgrounds and a sublime coordinated interior with a feel of the fifties.

Large crisp cornice to lift the height of the ceilings, panel work on the walls really gives you the feel of the architecture of the turn of the century.

DOORS!

At Carlow Cornice we don’t only look after the decorative measure of the inside of your house but also the outside. As St Patrick’s day went under way yesterday I was thinking of all the beautiful doors and that can be seen in Dublin. And I was thinking of all the posters, post cards and books sold depicting theses Georgian Masterpieces. In Stockholm there is even a pub called The Doors in celebration of this!
