The designer had a rich sense of vision to produce this kind of home layout and concept. ✨✨

I’m obsessed with you! Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful women out there 👩

Beautiful!!! My favorite is the drawing room with that teal grass cloth. The cherry blossoms on the mantel are magical. The kitchen design is fabulous. The stone floor is gorgeous.

[@sclickner]

First off, thank you for sharing the "before" pictures. I love the transformation and can really appreciate it more seeing what you had to work with!! Cheers.

[@jackieweber3662]

Amazing, among my favorite British decorated homes!!!

Precious and comfy. Love this home, it's so whimsical and delightful.

[@camuchanomellini903]

THE PINK SCALOP BANQUET IN THE KITCHEN WITH THE CHECKER FABRIC ITS ABSOLUTELY OFF THE CHARTS GORGEOUS 💖

[@LizLibling]

I NEVER add comments, but admirer from a far. Though with your Victorian Terrance, it made me feel like WOW! Not enough superlatives worthy to describe your STUNNING home. Thank you.

[@dianamcfarland1997]

YOUR HOME IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!...SO INVITING AND PEACEFUL!...I LOVE YOUR STYLE...TRADITIONAL VICTORIAN DECOR! THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@debrahayes3778]

Sean, your home is so special! I love your style. You've taken the best of English cozy and elevated it further. Nothing at all stuffy! Wish I could hire you for my home. Bath is such a lovely city. I visited it for the first time in 2022. You've brought some of the lovely buttery glow of the stonework into your home and it's fab!

[@insaneandvain6188]

I love British eclectic…and this is an example of it done right

[@dyinteriors]

This episode has me gobsmacked. So wonderful!

[@user-rf9yf6xp1h]

Beautiful interior. So lovely 🥰

[@gardenlevel7385]

Exemplary - a masterclass in textiles! I love the upholstered beds but in particular, the scalloped banquette is a triumph. Thank you!

[@posiesblessings]

I adore this house! I live very near (Bristol) and know this type of house very well. He’s taken something very ordinary and made it beautiful - and very liveable! Thank you so much, I’m an upholsterer, and appreciated hearing so much detail about his beautiful fabric choices. Lots of inspiration here.

[@marthajones7089]

I love this home!!!! He has the most wonderful talent of design and color coordination that I have seen in a while. Although small, this home packs a huge punch with a special touch of comfy and cozy. Beautiful!!!

[@leen29]

Thank goodness he told us the paint color names and companies. Love how he explained each detail of this enchanting space. He definitely bought his vision to life in a lovely way. So cool.

[@tumbleweed116]

He’s has style. Love it.

[@camuchanomellini903]

Wow!!! that PINK sofa with the teal walls absolutely GORGEOUS 🤩🤩🤩🤩 What a beautiful elegant home 🩷

[@Soulmidwife1111]

Love the kitchen island. Brilliant design and color. The kitchen floor rocks!

[@Gibbonomics]

Oh my goodness!! I am stealing so many of the beautiful ideas for my new home. Lovely, lovely work, Sean!!! ❤

[@carolinaelizabethart]

My goodness! This is my most favorite HW home! It’s traditional, but very clean hues and design making it seem so current! It love the collected details as well as all its practicality and smart use of space! It’s brilliant and beautiful! 🩵💙🌿

[@lauraheal4107]

Love your color scheme so refreshing and artful. The alcove cupboards are a must and visually appealing as all the day to day kitchen stuff is out of sight but not out of reach. The terracotta colour in the bedroom is gorgeous. You obviously are a very thoughtful designer. Lucky UK to have you. From Alberta Canada

[@donnatremblay2577]

What a talented designer!! Loved Sean’s personality & delivery. Truly appreciated him giving us specific paint colors and fabric / wallpaper resources; most don’t share that info. Along w his home, he’s a gem!!!

[@sheldongreene1246]

Absolutely loved his energy!! The home is beautiful and I could watch this over and over. Loved the dining room ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vickimaiorano5763]

So so beautiful. Lots of ideas for my small Victorian workers cottage. Love the mix of colour and patterns

[@G.V.A.K]

Charming chap. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Particularly loved Sean’s passion and his Canadian-meets-English decorating sensibility.

[@merryhill4790]

This designer really captured the bones of each room by using paint and furnishings to trick the eye making a small space look elegant and uncluttered. Bravo.

[@lourencolaura1]

oh my goodness , when he showed the fridge and pantry under the stairs I went back in time to my grandma's house. great design ❤

[@margosnyder5311]

I like this idea guy’s style. The furnishings are beautiful, and nothing looks too cluttered. The kitchen is wonderful, and I love the under stairs cabinets. The fabrics he has chosen are so pretty and they all coordinate so nicely.

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

I LOVE the Drawing Room, the Kitchen and the Kitchen Nook! I totally agree with the Designer, that a Small Space with alot of Furniture does make it feel bigger! Love the idea of putting Fringe on the Curtains! It makes it feel more Luxurious! 🤗😊☺️.

[@NoseyFloridaGirl]

The kitchen !!❤

[@Noreenlee1]

Wonderful solutions to tricky design issues!

[@peterjensen1455]

Beautiful home and Restoration. I love the fabric lamp shades. Great use of space. The man in the painting over the Drawing Room fireplace looks like you!

[@lorrilewis2178]

The painting sure does look like him!

[@tiC12668]

His house is truly beautiful! It’s like an art piece or jewelry box!!! Thank you for letting us see it!!! Brits are the most talented!

[@larissaredman]

He is Canadian.

[@user-jh8sm2ph5e]

My my my - this house is gorgeous. I am from UK, he has a perfect mix of English and a bit of his Canadian. Can see some hints of Barlow and Barlow in there, but dare I say it perhaps at a more liveable level. Nina Campbell? Really well done. Agree the settee was worth it! Very nice. Now trawling his website - nice to have access to this level in the UK for a change!

[@sandranorth8362]

Stunning home, and all the floral arrangements are gorgeous!

[@nancylucas4231]

Wonderful and beautiful home. Thank you for opening your home and design sense to us.

[@user-po3ko9yb5w]

I love the fireplace mantel, thanks for sharing.

[@GeorgeChorianopoulos]

So beautiful home!!! 💚 Congratulations Sean!!! Thank you Homeworthy!!! 🖤

[@allanyeager1147]

Very creative! Charming!

[@mimib95]

Bath is one of our most beautiful cities so I can well understand why Sean would want to create his beautiful home there.

[@deboramccallum3987]

What an exquisite home. I loved Bath when I visited.

[@kathrynkerridge1896]

Simply stunning every room is perfect. The seagrass wallpaper beautiful. Lovely to see an English homes which is a normal sizes for cities here & Bath is the most beautiful city. You can still see he's from over the pond as its so perfect 👌

[@b.bernal6151]

I love this home. Homeowner has amazing taste.❤

[@acg1210]

I live in Bath and it's a treat to see a beautifully renovated Victorian Terrace decorated with such style and flair. I love Sean's mix of gorgeous fabrics, trim and F&B paint colours and his true appreciation of the English aesthetic. A wonderfully talented designer.

[@user-rh4vp7fd8n]

It would be difficult to choose where I’d want to spend time in your home, it offers so many different lovely possibilities! Enjoyed this tour! Very well done!

[@ellenryan8752]

This house is truly a home. Love it.

[@MimiYouyu]

Good choices, really tasteful practicality.Clever and friendly house.

[@MrSebastianBlake]

He’s home is completely Unique and interesting and reflects his personality. His advice about collecting and taking your time and being brave was priceless

[@rachelburge2338]

One of my favourite ever homes!!! Absolutely gorgeous, every room got better! ❤❤❤

[@voguerose-ww8zi]

My favourite home tour ever! I would love him to makeover my home.

[@midoann]

Entering into a interior designer or architect or artist house are my fav ❤️videos (of course, there many many well decorated houses that leave us speechless ) . best green grass clothe wallpaper Ive seen on internet and the only Samsung TV that doesn’t look like a tv 🎉. I’ve been at Bath and is a dream paradise place he is so lucky and smart to buy a house there 🎉. As a psychologist I’m always curious about the influences that people had and lead them to be passionate about decorating. I was waiting him to say something like my mom has an art gallery or anything related to creativity but he wasn’t ask neither -at my art courses there is always that question: influences-. He enjoys so much his career and house, so sincere about everything and always kind (specially decorating because Homeworthy was coming to his house). Thank you Homeworthy and thank you ID Sean S. 🙇🏻‍♀️🇯🇵 Note: one of my best part in all videos is when they have to answer to what is home for you?: it’s my safe place, the reflection of me, is where I rest, is where my family is, where ever we are is home… Another question could be: why decoration is important in your house?

[@rhonda6791]

I love your home, cosy, pretty, a place to live and be happy in. ❤

[@micaellabah5191]

Beautiful!

[@dinav8051]

Me encantó esta casa, cálida y elegante a la vez. A pesar de ser angosta se la ve cómoda y confortable. Las telas y los muebles fueron mis favoritos. Muy buen gusto 👌👏 felicitaciones

[@persimmonpuddin]

LOVE the entire home. Bravo.

[@katie8325]

Wow! This home is special

[@ccrss4970]

So beautiful!! 😍😍😍

[@user-ni5gm2sz8n]

WOW! THE MOST GORGEOUS home I’ve seen on Homeworthy…SO lovely, creative, warm & cozy..the colors, the fabrics, the FRINGES!! THANK YOU for this tour!

[@sandiwilson5376]

Lovely home the design and details of everything is perfect. One of my favorite tour.. 😊

[@nlbhaduri]

Stunning yet realistic small spaces cleverly crafted and beautifully executed!

[@janicewaters6300]

God how I love this and your dog! Happy Spring!

[@elenap3096]

I love this home, the details are perfection.

[@andreaandrea6716]

I think this is my favourite of all your homes. Sean's idea of what a good design aesthetic should be, namely that a home shouldn't look as if you went out and bought it straight out of a catalogue, or showroom, echos my own. So many designers, when showing you their work, will site all their resources, all the designers used and from whom things were bought ... and I find myself thinking "But WHO lives here and why haven't they curated their own house? Or SOME of it. Where is THEIR LIFE in all of this?" Design is also about IDENTITY. If someone else has chosen EVERYTHING for you... it's a bit like plastic surgery ...not real. And you can FEEL that. I also love that he said "...it shouldn't be perfect..." (That is one of my favourite things about English houses of a certain ilk). HERE, you can feel Sean in every room. It's a wonderful house and Sean is a superb tour guide. Thank you so much!

[@diannesiahamis9184]

Jaw dropping gorgeous! 😍 Bravo to this talented designer 👏

[@norahdenovan8658]

Absolutely stunning, I am from Britain& this design is so British, love it.😍 I’m afraid though that the dog wins hands down 😍

[@rschmidt7286]

Such a stunning home! How lovely of him to share the colours and fabrics that he used. Bath is one of my favourite cities in England.

[@AlysiaArreola-lm7ir]

SO GOOD! This definitely just gave me the courage to be more daring with my house !

[@AmayaLuxe]

Really beautiful home with great touches. This decor will last a long time and reflects the personality of the owner.

[@mysweetestdays]

Beautiful, beautiful home! And a warm, unpretentious host. Winning combo for me!

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I am in love with that house and I want him to come to the USA and totally redo my house (if only I could afford it!). This house is so warm and colorful which I really love. He had such great ideas when renovating his house and I could move in tomorrow and be extremely happy! Gorgeous house.

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

.....PENNY ❤ ! I see You! Loving this tour, loving the super smart use of fabrics throughout. And the COLORFUL Colors!

[@EstherAldrich]

Phenomenal attention to detail ! Every space is utilized to perfection and the colors range from moody to bright effortlessly.....everything has a place and is accessible ! ..... highest praise for originality and marvelous detail. ! ! !

[@user-gt7ui1ns3b]

My favorite Homeworthy home ever ! So warm and elevated. Just beautiful… The owner is so wonderful, he gave us all the details and inspired us to be truthful to our personal taste and to create our own home, not to “instagram “ it ( I’m so tired of people doing that just for pics). Kudos to Sean for being a great designer, all those years of dreaming of becoming a designer paid off 💐

[@patcutler2823]

This is my style of a home so comfortable and yet elegant from canada

[@luvergirl416]

The kitchen island is genius!

[@dons9228]

Terrific designer! Beans home!

[@nikkioh84]

Simply divine. Chef's kiss! 😻 Cheers from a fellow Torontonian

[@jilljensenliving]

I am impressed. This designers style is superb. Fresh and yet retaining the feel of tradition. The transformation of a typical terrace house is awe inspiring. This house is a WOW moment. Bravo! I love your style! You've inspired me.

[@bonriver9420]

Beautiful home. Love the colours.

[@MinaT-qh3rt]

Sean, you are so talented. You have combined elegance with comfort and warmth. It is one of my three favorite home tours.

[@kimaotung]

Okay this is the best designed home on this channel... WOW! So much inspiration

[@diaa9011]

I absolutely adore his aesthetics. Everything is cute, lovely and gorgeous.

[@AyikosMedley]

What an eye 😍 this is stunning

[@MsAnneofgreengables]

Such an eye for color and proportion. I love his mixture of purple-based color with turquoise. Lovely home. Very, very talented designer.

[@olgaramos7277]

Definitely my favorite house tour, and I think I have seen them all several times 😂 Absolutely fabulous.

[@DrRichardMarques]

Great tour and I actually know Sean from when he was living in London! So bright and so much character! ⭐️

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

I hate the overused word “cozy” but this home screams cozy in the most romantic way. And what a great host. Just lovely. 👍🏼

[@susanshattuck4911]

Love Love Love his home. Such a great talented designer. How lucky that he lives in Bathe.

[@lisatague305]

Lovely home and designer !

[@TheMardi45]

At first I thought just another grand house tour. Then to hear that you did it all youself makes it so much more interesting and personal. And your passionate attitude. It makes such a difference..

[@jenniferlynn3537]

What a wonderfully refreshing departure from the ordinary this home is!!! I was drinking in every detail. I’ll let you in on a secret: I love when we’re provided with a slow, close pan across a bookcase because that’s where I get my book shopping ideas! Sadly this episode was missing those close-ups - and it looked like there were titles worth hunting down, too.😢 Hopefully next time….

[@08pixiedust]

This is such a wonderful house tour. He's very talented! The hidden refrigerator and storage are so smart.

[@annastrawinteriordesign]

Absolutely beautiful home, super stylish compact living. So many of Sean's comments resonate with how I believe a home should feel and evolve over time, incorporating unique and older pieces along with clever design and beautiful materials which will stand the test of time, bravo x
