Her work proves it’s often the smallest design decisions that have the biggest impact and here, she shares the elements and accents she returns to time and again.

Remember, negative space is just as important as what’s on display; it lets each object breathe and gives the eye a place to rest. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/D675CyKwcHoU5ALJZCsgNOR-lvs=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-2.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Rich Materials Mixed When texture does the talking, a space instantly feels layered and lived-in. It’s the contrast that makes it sing – soft against solid, refined with raw, polished beside patina. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/2sW-tgLTW9zdp1WG8gaGvFr2pIk=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-3.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Aesthetic Threshold Transition This turns a functional join into a considered design moment and gently signals a shift in space and mood. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Jr46gOg_PgdwIiM9d38_K-jk45k=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-4.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Moody Pantries A pantry painted in a moody hue is so satisfying. This one was colour drenched in [Cargo](https://coatpaints.com/products/cargo-flat-matt) by COAT Paints, turning a hardworking room into an immersive, atmospheric moment. “These are the details that take a space from simply decorated to thoughtfully and intricately designed. Small but mighty.” --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Sg-5Ld0NFf4r0OHXriD8eZTPeSs=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-5.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Wavy Edges On Repeat There’s something endlessly charming about a wavy edge. It just brings joy to a space – so much so that we incorporate them into our in-house designs, such as this [headboard](https://www.housenine.co.uk/collections/house-nine-headboard/products/wavy-headboard) and [bedside table](https://www.housenine.co.uk/collections/bedside-tables/products/scalloped-bedside-table).

There’s a sense of childhood den-building nostalgia too, a feeling that this is a place made for daydreaming and whispered stories. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/j5opFVkeEO-bricamgRiCvjA7zM=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-7.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Block Print Fabrics I’m forever drawn to how block-print fabrics add warmth, character and a little whimsy, especially against a plain, like this [sofa](https://www.arloandjacob.com/house-nine-grande-sofa). Each intricate, handcrafted motif – slightly imperfect – feels tactile, layered and full of story. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/VJf6Hq2kfD41krT9P7bBIbQB2jA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-8.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Woven Basket Trays The most versatile styling [accessory](https://www.housenine.co.uk/collections/house-nine-baskets), woven trays perfect for a coffee table, console or ottoman. The tactile, earthy, natural fibres add warmth and an organic feel to any space. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/8JMtVJZ6eEhydkRtn35OvntjO6s=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-9.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Curved Pocket Doors They’re functional and sculptural all at once, turning transitions between rooms into quiet architectural moments. As a result, the adjoining spaces feel open, fluid and connected. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/HnLF7FAJIo9d74CGsg4vyxuor1E=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2F250226-10-things-this-interior-designer-loves-always-will-10.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/houseninedesign/?hl=en) ## Gallery Walls This is the gallery wall of all gallery walls, the work of [Cramer & Bell](https://www.cramerandbell.com/). An art wall is probably the best way to express your personality. It doesn’t have to be just art. It can be a collection of [art](https://www.housenine.co.uk/pages/the-art-store), photos, postcards, quotes, movie posters, jewellery, hanging ornaments or even empty frames.
