In every home she designs, Clodagh is known for her focus on sustainability and nature; above all, she’s uncompromising in her efforts to bring the outdoors inside. And the Irish-born interiors expert (yes, she goes by one name only) believes there’s one room in which such connections with nature are more impactful than anywhere else in a home.
“I always suggest designing bathrooms with a view,” she told us by phone from her office in New York. “That’s a room, remember, that used to be called a water closet, because it was so tucked away. But you spend eight or 10 hours in there a week, and it’s one of the places where you can refresh, renew and get natural light. The skin is the largest organ on your body, and taking in natural light is very propitious for health and wellness.”
In Clodagh’s own home offers a view of the outdoors from every amenity, be it tub, sauna, shower, or toilet; for clients, she finds ingenious ways to provide a view, such as a skylight so “you can lie in the tub and look at the sky.” Recently, she even insisted on blasting a large hole in the load-bearing exterior wall of a client’s house in Miami, giving the rain shower a view over the inland waterway. “I’m not nicknamed the Demolition Queen for nothing,” she laughed.
