My favourite room: 'I don't know if all the colours work but I've no fear of colour' - inside PR consultant and artist Riki Neill's renovated cottage
"Indeed, Riki studied art at Ulster University but almost immediately the art fell by the wayside as she landed in a completely different career - public relations (PR) consultancy. She's been extremely successful, building up her award-winning company RNN Communications, representing clients in retail, construction and renewables, and is so busy that she has a staff of six. "I've a curious mind, I'm interested in everything, so I like a wide variety of clients," she says."
"When a house is full of colours, shapes and textures, it's a sure sign that the homeowner is artistic and that's true of Riki Neill, whose home near Lisburn in Northern Ireland has rooms decorated in every colour under the sun, with fun furnishings and striking lighting. However, when she and husband Michael bought and renovated her grandparents' cottage, she found she needed art for its many walls and rediscovered her talent. Now she has colour everywhere, and enough paintings for an upcoming sale."
Riki Neill studied art at Ulster University but built a career in public relations, founding award-winning RNN Communications. Her firm represents retail, construction and renewables clients and employs six staff. Riki and her husband Michael bought and renovated her grandparents' cottage near Lisburn in Northern Ireland. The cottage renovation revealed a need for artwork for many walls and prompted Riki to rediscover her painting talent. Her home now features rooms decorated in a wide range of colours, playful furnishings and striking lighting. Riki has produced enough paintings to prepare for an upcoming sale.
