Betty Sherrill, the doyenne of Manhattan interior designers who for more than six decades led the prominent New York design firm McMillen Inc., has died. She was 91.

She died on May 12 at her home in Manhattans East Side, her grandson, John Pyne, said. The cause was pancreatic cancer.

As McMillens president and later chairman, Sherrill oversaw interior design for a roster of clients that included titans of industry, celebrities and families of wealth. Among them were Laurance and Mary Rockefeller, CBS Inc. Chairman William S. Paley, singer Diana Ross and Alice Walton, billionaire daughter of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. founder Sam Walton.

Petite and with a southern drawl from her New Orleans upbringing, Sherrill cut both an imposing and charming figure in New York society.

She was a longtime resident of 1 Sutton Place South, a co-operative apartment built in 1927 with views of the East River. As chairman of the co-op board, Sherrill acted as a social gatekeeper at the building that has been the home of designer Bill Blass and socialite C.Z. Guest. Sherrill also had residences in Hobe Sound, Florida, and Southampton, New York, where she planted 40,000 daffodils.

McMillen was founded in 1924 by Eleanor McMillen Brown, whose firm soon became fashionable among New Yorks elites.

Sherrill arrived in the city in 1952 as a recently-married and lightly-schooled former design student.

Her first job was opening the door and passing out pamphlets for McMillens Paris 52 exhibit of contemporary postwar designers.

She used to say, I got my foot in the door and I never took it out, Sherrills granddaughter, Elizabeth Pyne, said in a telephone interview. Pyne is the third generation of Sherrill women to work at McMillen where her mother, Ann Pyne is president.

Ann Pyne, writing in an e-mailed tribute, characterized her mothers style as Wasp chic, though not the shabby side of it, with special touches including animal prints, bay windows and Portuguese needlepoint rugs.

While everyone loves a view, it often overlooks our interiors.

''You see it all the time - big houses with massive, expansive views,'' says interior designer Hamish Guthrie. ''They are almost too view-obsessed. They fail to embrace the things which make interior spaces successful, and that's that level of intimacy and attention to detail. Pushing harder on those elements that are going to sustain itself beyond just a view.''

Adrian Amore's award-winning Loft design does both. In a gutted apartment in an old butter factory in West Melbourne, Amore inserted a white staircase that is more akin to a sculpture. Somewhere between a ribbon and icing, the sinuous staircase draws you up from the entrance, through a mezzanine, and beyond to a recreational deck overlooking the city and the west.

Opening up the roof to obtain the view drove the ''limited budget'' refurbishment. But it's the vision inside the 214-square-metre Loft Apartment that this week won the project the Australian Interior Design Award's highest achievement, the Premier Award for Interior Design Excellence and Innovation, as well as awards for residential design and best of state - residential (Victoria).

For Guthrie, one of the award jury members, the Loft Apartment is ''an interior exercise in how to maximise use of an internal space''. Fellow jury member Joanne Cys goes further: ''Finally we've got an apartment that actually plays with the space and maximises the potential of its volume, and makes it beautiful, sculptural and highly functional. You'll see it often in stand-alone residences, or in apartment foyers, but not so much in apartments themselves.''

If the stairs are the drawcard, the defining shape to the interior is its curves on both stairs and walls. ''The shape evolved out of looking at potential movement patterns through that floor space depending on how it was used,'' says the 40-year-old architect.

The entrance directs people left, around the pantry and kitchen, towards either the stairs or past a curved ''island'' containing the bathroom and laundry. The stairs also help define the space, providing privacy to the living and dining areas.

A storage compartment has been inserted into a thickened rear wall. Both the lower ceiling height in the living space and the black wall create a sense of intimacy and warmth. This balances the lofty height over the kitchen up through the 9-metre void.

The use of white accentuates the curves and forms of the plasterboard stair and walls and also provides ''quietness'', says Amore. Paradoxically, it also helps ''maximise the drama'' of the space, giving the interior and stairs a sense of heightened scale. The neutral palette allows the furniture to provide colour accents and further personality to the space.
