In this episode of The Interiors Podcast, I chat with Ciara O'Halloran. Ciara is a Interior stylist and freelance creative director.

 

Ciara has always been immersed in a creative world, growing up she was surrounded by music. At 18 when decisions had to be made about her next step, interiors wasn’t yet a huge interest, so music won out and she undertook her masters.

 

Fast forward 10 years and through her experience planning and organising her wedding, Ciara fell in love with the story telling side of design. Also, working with her wedding photographer led her to other opportunities, which brought her into the editorial world of styling where she still sits today.

 

Ciara believes that styling is essentially the art of arranging spaces or things beautifully. Ciara believes it is a skillset anyone can learn and can have a huge impact on a space when used effectively and authentically. 

 

Ciara speaks about her move back to Cork, when herself and her family purchased a renovated Georgian building which had been converted into apartments. We speak about how she brought all her styling experience into this new blank canvas, allowing her families personalities to shine through. 

 

Ciara explains the difference between interior styling and interior design. 

 

If you would like some amazing hints and tips on styling your home then this is the episode for you, Ciara talks us through how styling can elevate your everyday spaces.
