Designs on you

Feed your eyes and pick up savvy decorating ideas at Beacon South Quarter's Design Fair which takes place September 27th. You're encouraged to bring along house plans or photos of your home and can sign up to one-on-one consultations with some of Ireland's top talent. Let Diarmuid Gavin give your garden gravitas, Duncan Stewart talks sustainable energy planning and architect Denise O'Connor and interior designer Philippa Buckley will show you how to give your project polish. The event is free to attend but you must register to book a place. Wear comfortable shoes and expect to queue to get to talk to the panel of experts. beaconsouthquarter.ie Alanna Gallagher
