Less is more \u2013 I see too many homes that try too hard and are just cluttered. I like to use key pieces that speak for themselves. I love good natural materials such as pale woods that never date and a mix of materials and textures. Tactility in a home is important.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Has your Dutch heritage influenced your style?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>Yes absolutely. I moved to Ireland at the age of fifteen, I definitely have a Dutch take in the genes! The Dutch love their homes and really invest in good design.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>What are your design bug bearers&#8230;?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>Over-populating a room with too many pieces, less is more. While trends will always be there, I like to keep things dateless and classical.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>What are your favourite pieces from Meadows &amp; Byrne?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>Meadows &amp; Byrne has lots of strong basics that won\u2019t date. I just love the Ash and Rattan Wishbone stools with beautiful pale wood and rattan currently in store. They also stock my favourite \u2018Arran Street East\u2019 &#8211; timeless Irish pottery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3523 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/wish-and-aran.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/wish-and-aran.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/wish-and-aran-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/wish-and-aran-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>How would you describe M&amp;B&#8217;s Autumn Collection?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Meadows &amp; Byrne\u2019s Autumn collection features lots of autumnal tones which are great for cosying up the home with the winter nights closing in.\u00a0 Layer up furs, chunky knitted throws and cushions to give your space a snuggly haven like feel.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>In an ideal world, what type of home would you have?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>A bespoke designed home with views of lake or sea and a small garden.
