Shopfront: Fabrics company Andrew Martin's annual Design review of interior decorations is a prestigious publication, so it's great to hear Merrion Square Interiors, operated by Helen Roden and Joe Ensko, has become the first Irish interior design company to be featured in it.

The pair do domestic and commercial interiors with a colourful, heavily luxurious style mixing the contemporary and antique. Andrew Martin is a furnishing brand that started an annual "who's who" in international interior design six years ago. There's also an Andrew Martin designer of the year award - described by the Sunday Times as "the Oscars for the interior design world" and judged by Vogue editor Alexandra Schulman and Louise Kennedy.
