Welcome back to The Interiors Podcast. In this episode, host interior designer Tanya Neufeld Flanagan discusses inspiration, aspiration, and Irish design with IMAGE Interiors magazine editor Megan Burns. We dive behind the scenes of this iconic biannual magazine and what makes it so special and influential in the Irish interiors scene.
The IMAGE Interiors ethos is to highlight the best of Irish design and craft. Megan Burns, who has recently taken over as editor, explains that ‘trends’ are less of a major focus, but rather showcasing themes, artisans and homes that tell a story and enlighten the viewer.
We discuss how Irish design is evolving and how every reader can bring something that they see in the magazine into their own spaces. True to their more editorial and curated aesthetic, IMAGE Interiors make an effort to put forth unique interiors homes in every issue. Megan emphasizes that it is important for people to do what THEY want in their homes, rather than adhering themselves to what they think is appropriate in their homes. She encourages viewers to proceed with less caution in approaching how they want their spaces to look.
IMAGE Interiors features many different projects, designers, architects, and focus on the sustainability of the designs being shown - every issue feels timeless and like it could sit on your coffee table without aging out. Megan and Tanya discuss how even though the magazine can include many seemingly complicated designs, it is still focused on making sure that anyone can read and enjoy. IMAGE Interiors seeks to inspire the viewer to think about their own style in an authentic and courageous way, no matter where they are living.
