Fresh, happy colours appear in the sage-green kitchen, a powder-blue drawing room that took inspiration from the serene landscape paintings on the walls, and the sunlit orangery. The latter is a new structure with a welcoming, modern slant, inspired by Belgian interiors and featuring a sculpted ivory plaster chimneypiece. \u2018The colour contrasts add to the sense of exploration as you meander through the house, discovering alternate worlds,\u2019 adds R\u00f3is\u00edn.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"This Georgian Manor Outside Dublin Celebrates the Wildlife That Throngs Its Parklands\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775745791_888_1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The sunlit orangery is a new addition to the house, with a bespoke plaster fireplace and a velvet-covered \u2018Sparta\u2019 daybed by Ransom &amp; Dunn.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Dani\u00eblle Siobh\u00e1n<\/p>\n<p>Hidden behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseandgarden.co.uk\/topic\/dining-room\" target=\"_blank\" isautogenerated=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">dining room<\/a> is a music and TV snug. Its custom-made timber bookcases are a contemporary version of the cosy wood-panelled study, where the painting above the bespoke Verde Alpi marble fireplace forms part of the owners\u2019 collection of British and Irish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseandgarden.co.uk\/topic\/art\" target=\"_blank\" isautogenerated=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">art<\/a>. \u2018The marble was chosen to pull out the painting\u2019s blue tones,\u2019 explains R\u00f3is\u00edn, who also created the rosewood-stained oak panelling. \u2018I wanted this room to feel old-world,\u2019 she adds.
