Arlene McIntyre has built a career out of creating swoon-worthy homes for celebrities like Vogue Williams and Millie Macintosh, and now she's sharing those style tips with RTÉ views in her new show, Designed for Life.
In it, the renowned international interior designer takes on six design projects from a range of backgrounds and budgets, from a Victorian apartment to an urban city centre flat, a riverside property to a classic redbrick home and more.
Each episode follows along with the transformation of one property, as McIntyre meets the clients, hears their aspirations and their budget. The series follow the interior design process of creating bespoke solutions for each of the homeowners.
And last night, she worked her magic once again on a charming home in Co. Cavan, which needed a revamp as it passed from one generation of the family to the next.
For this episode, Arlene travelled to the home of the Rudden family in picturesque Belturbet, where she met Chris and Anna Rudden and their two children Emily and Amelia.
The family had recently moved into Chris's family home, after his mother Eileen moved to a smaller house nearby. With this in mind, they were ready to put a stamp on their new space and make it entirely their own.
It wasn't without its challenges, though, as making design changes is hard for Anna when she knows the house has so much history and sentimental value for Eileen and Christopher.
Helped along by her dynamic team at Ventura Design, as well as the charismatic Project Manager Zara Leon – who shares her own tips with viewers throughout the series – Arlene will be challenged to reimagine this unique space.
