The Irish Times held a Home & Design Summer Interiors virtual event in association with Harvey Norman on Thursday 27th May.

Madeleine Lyons, Irish Times Features Editor, and a panel of experts explored the interior and outdoor changes that can transform homes. The panel included Architect, TV Broadcaster and Author Dermot Bannon, Interior Designer Suzie McAdam and Landscape Architect JJ Digby who all shared insightful hints and tips for getting homes and gardens ready for our new way of outdoor living.

With over 2,700 registered for the event, the panel discussed ideas on improving the space you have, working  from home options, and how to prepare a garden or outside space for a summer outdoors.

Attendees were invited to submit questions to the panel and two lucky winners on the night won some beautiful Smeg kitchen appliances and a Harvey Norman voucher to spend indoors.
