Dublin can be dreary, but these New Zealand transplants made their family home sunny by way of floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist pops of color. The owners worked with interior architect Gillian Sherrard to design this light- and glass-filled bungalow and kept it modern with simple, deliberate styling. Here in the living room, a pair of matching sofas is arranged around a vibrant contemporary rug with a collection of colorful scatter cushions.

Stunning Porcelanosa Nepal tiles were used to feature a wall of the living room. The bespoke sofa and armchairs, covered in gray linen, give the room a relaxed vibe.
Minimal doesn't have to mean boring. A single plant and a gorgeous credenza fill the space with functional furniture, and the lack of clutter brings calm to the house.
These glass walls bring the garden inside where a pair of vintage leather armchairs begs for afternoon relaxing.
This expansive kitchen can triple as a cook/dine/gather space. The pendant lights are Louis Poulsen designs, and one side of the long refectory table is lined with white Eames Eiffel dining chairs.

A swimming pool makes total sense even in an Irish climate when it's geothermically heated like this one. The white moulded plastic sofa and armchair look cool, but still comfy.
The once badly damaged swimming pool got a makeover and became the center around which the house and garden evolved.
The spacious master bedroom has a turquoise throw over the bed, which echoes the shimmering blues of the swimming pool.
