10 Things This Interior Designer Loves & Always Will

As founder and creative director of House Nine Design, Jojo Barr has honed a signature aesthetic that’s rooted in craftsmanship, motif and considered detail. 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.

Well-Dressed Shelving

It’s all about the mix: collected and considered, never cluttered. 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. 


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.

Aesthetic Threshold Transition

This turns a functional join into a considered design moment and gently signals a shift in space and mood.


Moody Pantries

A pantry painted in a moody hue is so satisfying. This one was colour drenched in Cargo 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.”

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 and bedside table.

Magical Sleep Nooks

These little hideaways are playful, poetic and utterly enchanting. There’s a sense of childhood den-building nostalgia too, a feeling that this is a place made for daydreaming and whispered stories.


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. Each intricate, handcrafted motif – slightly imperfect – feels tactile, layered and full of story.


Woven Basket Trays

The most versatile styling accessory, woven trays perfect for a coffee table, console or ottoman. The tactile, earthy, natural fibres add warmth and an organic feel to any space.

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.


Gallery Walls

This is the gallery wall of all gallery walls, the work of Cramer & Bell. 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, photos, postcards, quotes, movie posters, jewellery, hanging ornaments or even empty frames. The possibilities are endless.
