Jess Colivet’s home near Punchestown, Co Kildare, was initially decorated over 10 years ago. It is classic and stylish, yet has a contemporary vibe because she rings changes by regularly introducing new accessories. By adding new cushions, lamps, rugs and picture frames, she keeps the décor fresh and interesting.

Jess is passionate about fashion and style and she sees decorating a house very much in the same way as she would see putting together an outfit.
