Living room
Sophie loved the texture and colour of the skimmed raw plaster, so left it bare rather than paint it and had the builders seal it to protect the patina. Sophie rescued the sofa from a house clearance in London, try Sofa.com for similar. Upholstered footstool, Anthropologie. For similar fireplace tiles, try Bert & May
Living room
Sophie has cleverly placed the key furniture to create different areas of interest within the main space. She pulled the sofa forward towards the fireplace creating a sense of intimacy, leaving the back of the room free for a console table to display artwork and decorative pieces. Trestle table, Will and Yates in Deal
Living room
Sophie is a regular visitor to Ardingly Antiques Fair, sourcing items both for her own home and for clients. It was here she found the pretty distressed wood cabinet and the pair of wall sconces that sit at the far side of the room. Portrait of a little girl, The Three French Hens
