MAYBE NOT a space you’d want to let children loose in before they’ve been vetted for sticky paw prints and crayons, the livingroom of 12a Ardagh Avenue in Blackrock is pristine white.

The look screams young professional and the ceiling-hung stove takes centre stage. It was shipped over from Illinois-based company Fire Orb (www.fireorb.net) and comes in a black powder coat finish or stainless steel. Price from $5,800 (€4,513).

The furniture is made by Upstage (01-634 8118) and cost around €1,800 for the sofa and €600 for the Ottoman, depending on the fabric.

The artwork gives the room a blast of bold colour and was painted by the owner’s sister Cathy Addis (www.cathyaddis.net). A similar sized work would cost around €1,500-€2,000.
