Owner MOSA Studio

I always believe your home evolves to suit your needs. Using my home for my workspace wasn’t a new phenomenon for me during lockdown but sharing it with my family while working was. The kitchen was the new restaurant with teenagers’ non-stop meal events. So during lockdown I created little nooks for myself in my home that I could go off to for solitude, little happy places to go for peace, sanity and coffee. As lockdown eased I created a more permanent happy space just for me (and my plants). www.mosastudio.ie

We have an open space concept with our hallway, dining, living, and kitchen, and the heart of it all is our twins’ indoor swing. During lockdown, we spent the majority of our days playing with our children, cooking and baking, relaxing, and when the kids went to sleep, working around the dining table or kitchen island. The whole space is decorated in neutral colours and it’s quite relaxing, but the hallway is zoned out from the rest of the space by a colourful hand-painted mural made by me with the use of Colourtrend paint called Golden Cadillac.

We built this house in 2018 and I am so glad we did! Our kitchen area became a home school, my office, a space to play board games, to dance around, to Zoom and WhatsApp call family and friends. And, of course, we baked and had family meals …

This is our ‘good room’ that has recently turned into my office. It’s where I find all the peace I need to be able to work from home. I get to make my calls, answer emails and messages and a lot of time, it’s where I do content planning for my social media channels. It used to be a special space for entertaining friends but for now, it’s my office!
