At Home with Sophie Sutton in her Manhattan Townhouse

Tag along to New York City as we visit the glamorous Manhattan home of interior designer Sophie Sutton! Learn how when Sophie and her husband acquired their 19th century upper east side townhouse, it was in a neglected state of disrepair, without even a kitchen. See how Sophie unified all four floors of the house into a comfortable and elegant home perfect for family and frequent guests. Art plays a major role in the house and you’ll see how Sophie effortlessly melded modern art with antiques and vintage pieces. Watch to see how she transformed her kitchen into a welcoming urban retreat with one side dedicated to work and one to the “pretty stuff.” And learn why Sophie likes townhouse living, where each floor can represent different functions while relating overall. Some may be intimidated by dark rooms, but Sophie embraces them. See how she collaborated with Fromental to create a custom wall covering for her dark and sumptuous dining room and created a dark and cozy man cave for her husband on the bottom floor. Most importantly, you’ll discover how Sophie has created a home that represents her family’s life together, infused with personal collections and art, textiles and mementos of their travels. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!

I didn’t want this one to stop. It is not only a beautifully and rather serenely designed house, it feels like a genuine, beloved home and was clearly incredibly well thought out to be functional and practical, also respectful of its own history. But it was also a really terrific interview, we got a whole psychological personality profile and a lot of helpful tips and insight, and inspirational ideas to copy based on her experience. Being Scottish, I absolutely loved her observation about the farmer’s sword and what would we take with us today - our phone? A brilliant piece, loved it.

Hot Pink grass cloth?! Are you kidding! How fantastic! Thank you for taking us into yet another beautiful and inspiring home, Susanna.

"Art is like a punctuation on the walls." This is a PERFECT description. I love this. Once again, this is a wonderful video. I always get so many design ideas for my own little casita and my shop. Thank you.

“Not an inch has been forgotten in the best way”. Amen sister. Lovely to see a NYC home. “Art is essential”. So many bon mots! Thank you Susanna and Stacey 🦋💙🦋

Art, texture, detail, color and authenticity. Sophie and Jeff’s home has to be one of my favorite you’ve featured.

Sophie's sense of color and drama are exquisite. I LOVE the large painting in her entryway.
She can come to Georgia and redecorate my home anytime.

Susanna has so many good friends. She must have a blessed life.
Thank you Stacy for the behind the scenes work. You have a keen eye.
Happy Spring S & S

I absolutely loved the chocolate room with the wall art and fireplace. It was as dreamy as they come. Also loved that kitchen. This townhouse has been transformed into a dollhouse.

Well now isn't THIS interesting: I'm very inspired and impressed by the architectural details and actual interior DESIGN of the home more than the decoration of it. I watched this video twice to take it all in, especially that practically designed but unexpectedly characterful kitchen. (That looks like a housekeeper's dream, so easy and straight-forward to clean, ha!). Ms Sutton did a great job breathing life back into a historic property to make it feel warm, inviting yet elegant and high-end. She got the balance between familiar and modern whimsy just right. It feels grand and full of character because of her reverence for original architectural details. Beautifully executed project. PS= Ms Salk always strikes me as the perfect houseguest. Charming. Thank you for another lovely video.

My only complaint was that this was wayyyy too short!!! More please! You make my day, month whenever you post so this was total awesome sauce!!! Thank you so much!!!

[oltedders]

So much to look at. Not every room a homerun, IMO, but fabulous modern art, fabulous objects, fabulous mural. I love Sophie's philosophy of collecting. Thumbs up.

[kateforsyth]

Sophie is genuinely one of those people you’d like to know. So authentic. I love this home and video. Watching it again!

[cheekyllamacreations]

From the first 2 seconds as Sophie skipped down the stairs in that entryway I knew I would love this beautiful home. Love everything about it. The art is amazing and Sophie seems so nice 👌🏼

So glad you took us to the townhouse. This woman did an amazing job! With all we have to see, what I enjoyed the most, were the bedside tables in the primary bedroom, that actually had a good surface area and a shelf, hence useful as many of them aren’t!

Beautiful townhouse with an interesting history. Love all the lighted sconces. You looked chic in your jacket, Susanna. Thanks for the tour

I'm going to have to re-watch this several times and perhaps reduce the playback speed so I can truly appreciate every little detail. Nothing forgotten. I even love the greenery in clear cylinders in her kitchen. She clearly achieved her goal. Love the levels and access to outdoors! LOVE IT ALL!

Beautiful, warm and inviting home. I love the mixture of old and new and all those outdoor spaces.

The house is just Amazing from the wonderful furniture to the beautiful artwork. This is why Quintessen is the best channel for design on YouTube.

[jiminhart]

My fave kitchen of all the ones I've seen on the channel. And the guest suite? A perfect pied-à-terre!
