Irish Examiner: Aileen Lee Interview
Aileen Lee spoke with Caroline about the RTE 'Celebrity Home of the Year' win.
"Who would be your favourite designer, or style inspiration? I don’t really have a favourite designer — having said that when I travel I will always check out the latest fit-outs which are making waves in the design world. I like to experience design first hand and will make my way to the latest hotel, bar, or restaurant, etc, to take a peek, preferably with a cocktail or two. I have recently returned from a trip to Iceland where I took in an exhibition and lunch at Alvar Aalto’s Nordic House — he was an acclaimed Finnish architect, and it was hugely inspiring."

The Guardian: Reading rooms: the story of an author’s house
Serena Fokschaner spoke with author John Boyne and interior designer Caroline Flannery about John's newly renovated Rathfarnham home. “Realising that he lacked “the good visual eye” needed to overhaul the interior, he enlisted the skills of interior designer Caroline Flannery. A few meetings later, Boyne cleared out his home. “I got rid of anything that didn’t make me happy. It was a cathartic process.” As the builders moved in, Boyne relocated to London to let them “go mad”. The result is a streamlined but colourful interior where many of the rooms have a new function: there is a reading room, a gym area and two work spaces.” Read full feature here >

Where will the TV go?’ I’d never thought about (looking at interiors) websites before, but I got really into design and developed an aesthetic of my own. That would never have happened without Caroline.” Read full feature here >
The Irish Times: Six ways to stamp your style on a rental
Caroline shares her tips to stamp your style on a rental. “A well-considered rug can be a great investment particularly in a rental, where it may not be possible to modify the space without the permission of a less than enthusiastic landlord. The right rug can create instant impact, warmth, colour and style while also acting as a focal point in a room which may lack any architectural features of note.” Read full feature here >

Elizabeth Birdthistle of The Irish Times caught up with Caroline to talk about the work she completed on a 5 bedroom family home in Ballsbridge. "Flannery designed a striking wall unit – which houses the television and log gas fire – in the family room overlooking the 260sq m (2,798sq ft) rear garden.
