About

Hi All, My name is Mel from Dublin but originally from Australia. I started Design Heaven in April 2008 to satisfy my interior design addiction . :)  I recently completed studies in Interior Design – and dream about making this a fulltime obsession.

But for the moment Design Heaven is a way for me to document what I covet in design and art. 

And one day soon I hope to document my renovation of a very small Dublin city apartment – just waiting on the right one and of course at the right price (cheap as chips is my preference or free).

Hi Mel,

Found your website. We’re interested in coming over to show our retro furniture in Ireland. As you are interested in Interior Design, I thought maybe you would know what the best Home exhibitions are in your area or anywhere in Ireland? For the consumer and also one for trade?

Best of luck with your new venture.

Hi Karen – i had a look at your catalogue. I love the Soho chair.

I guess the two main home shows are Ideal Home Show (usually held at the end of October) http://www.idealhome.ie/ and the Interior Design Show (usually held in May) http://www.interiordesign2008.ie/

For trade only there is the Irish Furniture Fair (usually held at the end of March) http://www.irishfurniturefair.com/index.php

hope that helps,

Thanks,
Mel
