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.

"Pullout drawers beneath a staircase", what a useful and great idea! Nicely done. Also, the replacement of a wall with glass doors in a narrow hall way, something I thought doing at my home.
Love the drawers under the stairs
Great Questions. Thanks for the condensed and informative video. The house is gorge and the ideas are very useful and appreciated!
