New interiors shop on way

A new home interiors shop opening in early April will bring to Kilcullen a selection of products from all over Europe, at reasonable prices.



'Haven', by Contemporary Interiors, is the brainchild of Amanda Mac Seoin and her husband Marcas, who have been operating an interiors design and fitout business for the last five years. They're based in Ballyshannon.

The stock will include bedlinen from Paris, candles and candleholders from Copenhagen, wallpapers by Colefax Fowler and Farrow & Ball, paints from the Historic Colour Collection by Colourprint, lighting and occasional furniture. Fabrics from Prestigious and Jane Churchill are also on offer.

"We're aiming at the middle to high end of the market, which reflects what's around us here in Kilcullen," Amanda says. "We'll have stock really from all over the EU, and we've recently been to the latest trade fair for the business in Paris, and we bought a lot of things there."

Marcas notes that they have exclusivity on some of their products, which will make the shop even more attractive to some customers.

Amanda and Marcas also provide a full interior design service, as well as preparing homes for sale. And a 'decluttering' service is possibly one of the most useful for people who have lived for a long time in the one home and might welcome outside help in dealing with the excess stuff that we all accumulate.

They can be contacted through their website
