Writer Katherine Slee speaks about the old supper bell she rings to call her children down to eat. Not a shout up the stairs. A bell. Clear, deliberate, impossible for them to ignore. There’s something wonderfully old fashioned about that. A small ritual. A pause in the day. The ring of it cutting through homework, half-finished games, bedroom chaos, calling everyone to the table. It’s practical, yes. And we suspect, far more effective than repeating “Dinner’s ready!” for the fourth time. But it’s also memory in the making. The kind of sound that, years from now, will echo somewhere deep and warm. Objects like that matter, because they are used. Repeatedly. Lovingly. Slightly impatiently, perhaps. A supper bell is a small thing. But in the right hands, it becomes tradition. And tradition, rung out at the end of the day, is a rather beautiful way to gather the people you love, and creates a timeless family memory. Keep an eye on our socials for our full tour of Katherine's home, coming soon. #interiordesign #homedesign #familyhome #houseandgarden #homedecor #interiorinspo #modernhome #kitchendesign #livingroomdesign #openplanliving #homesofinstagram #designinspiration #luxuryinteriors #ukhomes #londonhomes #interiorstyling #homestyle #architecture #designlovers
