HOT PINK IS the only blast of colour in an otherwise understated colour scheme at Number 35 St Albans Road in Dublin 8.
The theme carries throughout much of the house and gives the impression of owners who like their neutral tones but haven't lost touch with their wild side.
The room is quite minimalist and pared back and has two Ikea sofas. For a similar look Ikea has a the 3.5 seater Stockholm sofa for £999 (€1,247). A cheaper option is a three seater Ektorp which costs £299(€373).
The table and chairs are typically low key. Ikea has a similar but unpainted Kaustby chair which cost £105 each (€131) but if you buy four you get one free.
The Gazco Manhattan Gas Stove is from Glorney Chimneys (01 4921355) and is available in either natural gas or LPG versions. This one is in a brushed stainless steel finish and costs €2,525.
