SOPHIE AND GEORGE EMBEDDED LIGHT, NATURE AND JOY IN FAMILY LIFE USING CLEVER DESIGN AND BOLD COLOURS

- ALEXANDRA PRATT

Golour therapy

It took Sophie Green and her family two years to move just 50 metres when they bought their end-of-terrace townhouse. 'We were renting on the same street,' says Sophie. 'The purchase took a long time. It had been an Airbnb, and it was tired. The kitchen, on the lower ground floor, felt disconnected; small and dark.' Sophie and her husband George have three children under 14, so they focused on making their new home 'fun and sunny.'
