Minnie Claridge Design I launched my new business, The Interior Design Nook at the end of 2020. I'm passionate about colour and how it can transform the way you feel and behave.

Characterful interiors shaped by colour and landscape
Herefordshire & the Welsh Border • UK & Europe
Comfortable, personal & enduring homes
Sensory-aware design I have a degree in interior design and a postgraduate diploma in furniture design, but spent the last 13 years teaching and just doing interiors for family and friends. After renovating and selling my own flat in 2020, I was approached to update the interior of another house and that's where the Interior Design Nook started. I've worked on quite an eclectic range of homes since then both local to me on the Welsh border, and further afield from Liverpool to Munich! It's such a privilege to be invited into people's homes I can't wait to help more people make the most of their spaces! I'm based in Herefordshire near Hay on Wye, but I work with clients all over the UK and abroad. My strengths lie in using space effectively and coming up with creative solutions for tricky areas, as well as sourcing great pieces and spending your budget wisely to make your home feel special and look high-end. I create liveable (and durable!) interiors without compromising on aesthetics. I offer a range of services including full design, spatial planning, colour consultation, and commissions for custom products and artwork. I have over 50 trade discounts to offer my clients on their interior purchases, including kitchen and bathroom suppliers. I am also a proud member of the Interior Designers Hub.

When you’re renovating a house, it can feel as though there’s an endless list of things to buy. Furniture, lighting, rugs, artwork, accessories… and an overwhelming number of places to find them. But furnishing a home isn’t simply a matter of filling rooms with beautiful things.

Mindful shopping is about choosing things you love, with character and meaning, rather than buying for the sake of filling a room. And it doesn’t mean buying less, or resisting something fabulous when you find it!

Of course, knowing what to look for, what works together and where to find it can be quite a task in itself. Part of my role as an interior designer is to take that overwhelm away, helping my clients make confident decisions and create a home that feels entirely their own.

I wrote more about buying mindfully earlier this year. You can read it via the link in my bio or here: minnieclaridge.com/journal/buyingmindfully

Check it out, Ty Bach is in the and they've got it spot on that this is a space for being rather than doing. The cottage, like the landscape, is all about how it makes you feel. A couple of my favourite pieces are the bed runners and handmade paper prints from

Children’s rooms are one of the places where I think it pays to be generous with colour.

Toys, books, artwork and favourite things inevitably introduce colours that you haven’t chosen, so rather than trying to make everything coordinate, I build enough colour into the scheme to accommodate them.

It’s a small detail, but it makes a children’s room feel much more put-together, characterful and inviting.

Bathrooms are often one of the hardest-working rooms in the house, but they're also one of the easiest to elevate with a few thoughtful design choices.

Often, it's the small design decisions that make the biggest difference.

Which of these three tips is your favourite?

Who says a doorway has to be *just* a doorway?

This hallway is not simply somewhere to pass through... The stripes create a moment of surprise, bringing personality and playfulness to a house that is designed to feel colourful, joyful and anything but boring.

Sometimes it's the unexpected details that make a home unforgettable! Where would you add a playful touch in your home?

Many interior designers will tell you that programmes like Interior Design Masters don't reflect what we do day to day.

They're right.

But in my own home, I still paint, upholster, make curtains and build bespoke furniture. Did I ever mention I have a postgrad diploma in furniture design 😃 Understanding how things are made and installed makes me a better designer and helps me create homes that work beautifully in practice, not just on paper.
