There's so much beauty here that I enjoy watching sheerly from an aesthetic point of view. From a practical standpoint, it's so far out of my league that I struggle to find a single element that I could afford to incorporate in my home.

[@alisonhoyte7608]

Start with cushions and small wicker baskets

[@enjay4real]

I do believe most of us feel the same regarding how opulent these homes are. However, I'm able to incorporate the principles of her design into my clients' and my homes. 😊

[@Twiggs2562]

What you could do is water down the design elements …so take the idea and simplify the concept and use it in a more simple way in your own home…I work on huge villas like these in the Middle East as a decorative Paint artist and muralist and they are truly larger than life with soaring ceilings and vast rooms. The luxury comes from the colors and textures which Sophie uses and that can be emulated in a simpler way without costing a fortune and by being clever with your choice of color, in my humble opinion.

[@trinidad2450]

If you can consider what small touches you can add. What I’ve done is try to incorporate ideas such as, clutter-free. So I’m looking around my little home to make it as clutter-free as possible.

[@wendymtzc]

Most of us watch just to get ideas

[@annaoslo8650]

As always this project and the tour of it is just blissfully relaxing and elevated and yet so down to earth and inviting. These clients must be so happy, not only with the design but with the whole experience of having Sophie and her team bring their vision to life. You can tell they give so much consideration to each aspect of the project and take such care in ensuring their understand the clients wishes. And they got to spend time chatting and discussing design with them all? So lucky!

[@deepthir503]

So generous of your clients to allow you to film these ❤. And Sophie amd team the project looks absolutely amazing, incredible and stunning 😍 ❤️ ❤ ❤.

[@Editorknowsbest]

Enjoying this home tour series, Sophie. I’m sure I’m not the only one with questions as to where you sourced your outfits. I’m particularly in love with the all white one with the draped cowl neck and zippered slit. 😍

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Glad you’re enjoying it! That outfit was 20 years old and handed down to me from my mother in law- it was by Amanda Wakeley

[@Editorknowsbest]

@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd Timelessly elegant. I love it!

[@redfrag9607]

Beautiful, peaceful and very livable home. I'm looking at the sharp corners in my house with a new perspective (and a file 🤣).

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

🤣 I know the feeling! It’s a dangerous job when you come back to your own home and want to start all over again after designing a clients home

[@sarahofer4368]

Another SPI masterpiece. You and your team are true artists.

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thanks so much ☺️

[@alisonhoyte7608]

Wonderful home and family for sharing their new home with us.Thanks very much

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

We were so grateful they allowed us to share it- such a generous gesture on their behalf

[@MariaCruz-lp2ki]

These designs and videos are just at a whole other level! Everything is so beautifully considered and elegant. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

So glad you liked it. We are very proud of this one 🤍

[@leelee3386]

For me, overall beautiful design. The atrium room, I believe just past the elegant double doors, the Portia lamp is truly an aesthetic touch to the whole project. The lighting, sizing of the coffee tables, along with the gorgeous touch of natural elements, like the tree that pops out at the side of the room…Very timeless and classy design. I just love it 🤍

[@tamathasnead4341]

This project is just gorgeous! I think the kitchen is my favorite although every room is simply stunning! Well done Sophie & team!

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you! I loved the kitchen too

[@gracie3174]

Host looks just like princess kate!

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you ☺️

[@bernadettegarden6943]

This looks gray rather than green but I suppose it’s has a very light green hue

[@sdmsdm7926]

Everything is so beautiful, who wouldn't be honored to live in such an amazing place...and I know this has nothing to do with the project but the white outfit you wore when you presented the family room and the salon is just so lovely and elegant, I was wondering if you could mention the designer, it looks so perfect on you!

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you that outfit is 20 years old it used to belong to my mother in law and was by Amanda Wakeley. I would love it in more colours!

[@bettemader3732]

I’m envious of the home owners what you have designed for them is truly amazing your taste and your descriptions are wonderful thank you so much for your videos I so enjoy them

[@YasminIbrahim-fv2ml]

Been waiting for your next project. So elegant and beautiful, yet very much homely. Hope your Middle Eastern client loves living in this grand home. I know I’d love this in my Middle Eastern home ❤

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I think they are very happy here 🫶🏻

I'm surprised Middle Eastern are really into fengshui.

They were so happy. It was one of the most satisfying and memorable experiences of my career

[@marioodio1642]

All the spaces look very comfortable and beautiful, highly sophisticated at the same time. Even though I know there’s a ton of thought and hard work to accomplish this, and I really admire this from you and your team. My greatest compliments to you all!!!

[@cathrynwhitfield7899]

Oh Sophie it’s all so incredibly beautiful I have been looking so forward to seeing more of this project well worth the wait you are so gifted and talented you too have an incredible team throughly enjoy your work so much 💖🤗

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

So glad it was worth the wait and thanks for your support 🫶🏻

[@luxelist]

I can definitely see why the salon was your favourite room, would love something like that in my own home as well. Elegant and perfectly put together work as always!

[@Twiggs2562]

What a magnificent home Sophie …you and your team have truly outdone yourselves on this project. To make these vast villas look warm and inviting can be a huge challenge , but you’ve done a wonderful job through your incredible talent and superb choice of finishes . Thank you for sharing it with us .Greetings from Qatar

[@torisikkemaphotography]

I love how you move us through the spaces, inviting us to be invited guests! I would love to have links to your gorgeous dresses and looks in each video! You have impeccable taste.

[@claudiamann7111]

Amazing!!! Just incredible what you and your team produced. There were so many requirements and they were met perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you so much 😀

[@katherineb.3140]

You did a superb job delivering what the client want. One observation though…it seems a lot of wealthy ME spaces seem rather commercial looking. Like a 5 star Hotel vibe. It’s all very calm and serene.

[@simonwoda1498]

Absolutely inspirational…looking forward to seeing the bedrooms

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

We aren’t showing all the bedrooms in this one, but we are able to share the guest bedroom in part 3

I took interior design in college and this is so interesting, you must have to ship things, I bet that is quite a task. and I luv your clothes. Have a lovely week

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

It really is! We shipped all the furnishings and the cabinetry was made locally

[@dorotakubiak91]

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!! Xx

[@namivirus]

Absolutely gorgeous design details. We are going through a kitchen Reno and slowly plan to do the whole house, so I love that I found your channel! I’m in love with your relaxed transitional English aesthetic - is that what you would call it? Any other terms I should be looking out for whilst picking out my fixtures and other details? My new favorite designer ❤️ would you please share your knit outfit in this video? So elegant and wearable

[@debbiemccann3711]

[@a71012]

Love this project! Feels homey even though it is so grand, which was not the case of your other middle east projects.

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you- each client and property has a different brief. The other Middle Eastern project we shared had a very welcoming and comfortable feel but the architecture was much more modern and minimalist 🤍

[@ImaneBou30]

Finally finally finally!!!!!!!! Been waiting for soooo long. I hope we’ll get to see the bedrooms and bathrooms on this one.

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

🤣 glad you enjoyed it- hope it was worth the wait! We don’t tend to share the family bedrooms in our Middle Eastern projects for their privacy (culturally it tends to be their preference which we respect) but in part 3 Of this one we were allowed to share the guest bedroom which was amazing!

[@lawgirl2007]

Beautiful home, but for me a kitchen is the heart of the home when it isn’t a show kitchen, but when you use it for all your cooking, and not the “dirty”kitchen outside.

[@tamiressoares9303]

Sophie Sophie Sophie, beautiful place love the spy area as a massage therapist that would be totally ideal. Love the tones and the colors in these rooms. But the show stopper is your gorgeous and elegant white two-piece outfit. Unbelievable class and just breathtaking. I love it you look great with it I just wish your hair was up a little bit with a couple of wispy‘s down and some earrings to tie into that but I love the nail color and I love the outfit it’s gorgeous. 100% that is what this video is about. The house is great and there’s beautiful pieces and you did an incredible job but it is that outfit that you were wearing that is the winning situation in this video. Bravo

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you. The outfit was 20 Year old Amanda Wakeley handed down to me from my mother in law

[@tbo624]

This home is stunning…such great work. You guys always blow me away. On an unrelated note, are you able to share the designer of your white skirt and top? It’s a beautiful outfit. Thanks!

[@Haidi533]

Thank you for saying, you listen to the client also, NOT wha t experienced from my designer. I have paid id advance, 3 years ago a huge amount of money and only got four doors installed whiteout handles. when they got the money I can not reach the persons. you are really a good designer, that respect the clients and your project is stunning beautiful.

[@mr-tg4xn]

Very calming interiors, I wanted to know why you and most designer chose pretty standard art, and nothing with a clear artistic woul or m3ssage. Is it to ensure , they don't take any attention from the d3signer's work. Matching art with furniture takes away any real artistic voice or character fro the home at times and makes it feel more like a commercial space.

[@hana7333]

Several furniture pieces are inspiring. Very creative minds to come upwith these designs and patterns. I have learned a lot and deveping a good taste in home interiors interiors all thanks to your team

[@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd]

Thank you so much!

[@neesannmarietta2928]

A showstopper. I love your videos! Would you mind sharing where the kitchen island pendants and low back chairs are from?

[@__crissstina]

Hi Sophie. I enjoyed watching this. I am curious to know how you ensure that the contractors involved in the project run an ethical business. I’m sure you are aware that laws are rather lax when it comes to health and safety in the Middle East, but also that there are many cases of modern slavery. Do you vet the contractors yourselves?

[@MrMathkaren]

I would love know the curve back sofa that Sofie sit on and did the narrative. I have been sourcing something like this for a while.

[@sboss794]

It would have been interesting to know the family size. The dining etc has only six chairs so was curious

[@LeekKeel]

Love your design, always elegant. Love your white outfit too (the one you wore in the family room), where did you get it from?

[@dianadruchkiv9308]

love the Ukrainian national dress

Your white dress you wore when you showed us the living room is gorgeous. Where is it from?

[@secretgarden8578]

je trouve que family---room est plus chaleureuse j'adore la porte secrète un vrai coup de coeur comme nous sommes entrain de rénover notre Manoir on adore visionner vos vidéos car elles sont vraiment inspirante mais ce que je ne comprends pas c'est cette couleur gris avec le blanc que je trouve un peu froide et glacial cette cuisine est sans ame elle ressemble à une morgue ou un cimetière je trouve que le choix de vos clients pour ces couleurs montre qu'ils ont de l'argent mais ils n'ont aucun gout par-contre j'adore les accéssoires de décoration comme les trois petit vases la petit thermo en osier le petit service avec deux tasses et une cafetiére j'adore le design bonne continuation
