It's time! We're announcing our full shortlists for the Interior Influence 2019 Awards, celebrating Ireland's online creative community in House and Home style. We wanted to shine a light on all of our incredible nominees - and believe us, there is A LOT of talent out there - by introducing you to the shortlisted accounts in every category.
We don't all have huge budgets to update our interiors every season, so we really admire those that can make it work without breaking that bank. Whether it's clever buys from budget interiors stores, or super smart upcycles to bring a second-hand find up to scratch, we appreciate the extra effort it takes to bring budget interiors to life, without looking cheap.
These accounts are the ones who create dreamy, innovative schemes in their home for very little money, sponsored by Littlewoods Ireland.
