    I voted for the Hall and Entrance in Wicklow by Tilestyle for a few reasons. It's a striking image which looks deceptively simple but which in reality I would judge is hard to achieve. The classic black and white floor tiles are cleverly bisected by a crisp shadow giving extra depth and dimension to the floor. I Ike that the photographer included the shadow and didn't choose to overly manipulate the natural light in the source by removing the shadow. The predominantly white backdrop for the tiles was cleverly broken up by three coloured items which lead your eye through the space and thus avoid the "where should I look first" feeling that some of the other shots convey and therefore showcase their product - the floortiles- perfectly. I get a great sense of a clean space that allows you to breathe and a fresh welcome from the hallway in this image. A smart space that any homeowner would be proud to have as the first impression of their home. Great job Tilestyle.

      I totally love the black & white tiles in the Residential Project in Wicklow , it really makes a statement without being too over powering and perfectly complements the neutral palate and clean lines

      I voted for 'A cabin in the Woods' as it is cosy, cute, comfortable, calm and classic with clean lines and quirky furnishings. It's not crying out for attention but is seductive and subtle in it's homely decoration, detailing and design. As an Irish person, I know we NEED all the cosiness and comfort we can get!!!

      Loving the look of the Wicklow house. A daring choice of tile complimented by the beautiful window and the neutral walls.

      Voted for B. The colour scheme and tiles complement each other brilliantly and great use of natural light!

      I voted for the cabin in the woods as the unique feel that comes from the mix of texture, colours and nature ( imposing from the two windows ),gave me an inspiring sense of wellness and peace .

      I voted for the residential project in Wicklow. The black and white tiles are striking and work very well with the neutral colors in the rest of the area.

      The metal staircase is such a showpiece! The fretwork and the colour are fabulous.

      Cabin in the woods for me, the use of space is amazing. A little window seat above the blocks of wood for the stove is just very clever, I could see how a lot of people would have just put a basket for the logs there and it would have been wasted space. This simple but effective use of space is what stands out to me and makes this my favourite.

      I love the Kingston design . it combines colours in a cozy, elegant and modern - practical way ; the stairs blend in effortlessly and make me wonder if they are real ( am sure they are and I think that they are great for selfies or group photos ). The colours in the kitchen are great , the colourful plates on the wall , the tiles are like art and the open space is just amazing . The garden , which makes me think of Italy or Spain, looks like an invitation to relax . Great use of furniture and colours , overall it has that va va voom effect to me.

      Cabin in the woods; I love how fabric, colour & texture are used in this room and its so bright thanks to great windows. This is a house which is a home as well as something beautiful visually. Love it!

      Voted for hallway in Wicklow. Clean lines, bright space, love the window height in line with stairs. Great colour choice on the walls. Inspired choices, love this.

      Cabin in the woods looks so cosy, ideal for family life. The decorations make it look both clean and spacious but also cosy which is perfect for a family. The views of the outdoors through the windows merely add to the impression of indoors outdoors living while the logs demonstrate how warm and cosy it would be inside when it's wet, cold and windy outside.

      Love the hallway. Its just so stylish and inviting. I think the tiles really work here and love the way you can see into the back room through the window in the hallway.

      My vote is for the 'Hall and Entrance in Wicklow'. The beautiful marble floor tiles together with the choice of contemporary greys bring light and a freshness, complimenting the stunning window, staircase and lovely original (?) ceiling in the hall. An inspired balance where the new breathes life into the old without taking anything away. Love it.

      Love the TileStyle hall entrance in Wicklow. You just can't go wrong with a classic like those black and white tiles. This look is so fresh and encompasses a real sense of space and openness. I adore the contrasting light and dark paints on the opposing walls not to mind the clever internal window to allow light through. Very clever, well thought out design and one of my favourite hall entrances for sure :)

      I really like the design I this cabin room. It is so accessible, I'm looking at the softly gathered curtins, the white painted floorboards and panelling and thinking of how I could get this look in my own home. There are clean lines and great design features but not at the expense of comfort.

      This looks like a room for people- children, dogs, cats, friends and family (and stylists).

      Nice contrast of black and white colour. Inviting overview of dining area as you come down spiral staircase.

      Cabin in the Woods - Perfection from the open rafters painted white to give the illusion of height and space to the painted floorboards - and everything in between - the simple furniture and clean sharp decor - the wonderful windows taking in the woodland setting and the curtains for closing on a winter night to relax with stove lit and a good book (optional glass of wine) - sheer happiness and this is the living room picture I have in my head for the past number of years - for when my dreams come true and I finally get to build my dream home. Perfection :)

      I love the Tilesyle in Wicklow. The colors compliment the lovely grey. I would want to do this to my hallway.

      I love the cabin in the woods. It reminds me of all the times I enjoyed in New England when I lived in Boston. It looks like such a cosy spot to relax and unwind.

      I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

    • Trish Long

      Cabin in the woods. Love the mix of comfort, style without being over styled, luxury and luxurious touches in every room, use of local products /pieces/work people. Cohesive overview sense of connection to place and outdoors and its past. Truly inspired.

      Love this room, it has style without being pretentious. A room you could see evolving with the owners need over time rather than being stuck in a particular look.
