Peek Inside an Interior Designer’s Stylish Home

In this episode of Houzz TV Live, English interior designer Emma Merry gives a virtual tour of spaces she recently updated inside her classic Tudor home. A hardworking laundry room and mudroom features lots of custom storage, including a dedicated cabinet to store and charge a vacuum cleaner. Merry also installed a heated towel rack — typically found in bathrooms — to help air-dry delicate clothes and bedding. Wood-look tile in a chateau pattern adds style.

In the once-dark entryway, Merry replaced a wall with glass doors to bring in more light and put emphasis on several original solid oak doors with iron hardware. Pullout drawers beneath a staircase add storage for shoes for the family of four. Wallpaper on Merry’s home office ceiling and accenting one of her son’s bedroom walls gives a playful touch to the elegant home.
