Sophie, your youtube channel has been one of the highlights of this year! I want to thank you for the inspiration, the beauty, the quality and dedication, but above all, for your and your team's generosity. I am a firm believer that sharing makes one richer, and I have a feeling that generosity is one common golden thread within your team and outwards. Thank you! Your biggest fan from Sweden.

Sophie, you are so inspiring. This video and your whole team is such an inspiration. 💖 I am currently a homemaker and have realized that decorating is something I love, I wish I had took interior design or something art related for my degree. I relate to how you felt after you graduated-- that you were no closer to your dream. I felt that.

[mikethomas]

I am affirming that within the next 5 years I am going to be in a position to work with you on my future home! Absolutely love this channel and was so lovely to meet some of the team in this video. Wishing you all an amazing, successful 2022 🙏🏼❤

[GildedFashion]

Thank you for making this channel! It's the classiest, most relaxing and edifying content. I've never seen a tv show or YT channel that has half of what your team has. Sophie, you're a brilliant presenter, Oli your expertise are tear inducing levels of awe and perfection. May your channel thrive and inspire the world. 💝

I can’t tell you how inspiring this video is. I find Sophie so relatable and such a nice person. You and your team are fantastic, talented and warm.

You really are a breathe of fresh air… I’ve always had a love for interiors, and I’ve been a ‘follower’ of your company over the past few years through Instagram first and now YouTube. The projects you and your team create are just incredible, I love watching you take something from concept to a finished project and I always try to take little tips that I inject in my own home just to make it a bit more special and unique. Obviously being only 24, my budget is somewhat less but the skills and tips you share are so appreciated. This latest video was so lovely to watch and so refreshing, especially in a time like we find ourselves, that you project and showcase your amazing team around you that has grown alongside your journey. So often people at the top take the credit and forget to share the rewards of work and growth with their team members, it is so wonderful to see and shows how incredibly humble you are and proud of how everyone has contributed and help build SPI into the company it now is. You really are a family and that’s how every company should aspire to be. I can’t wait to see what 2022 brings you and what you share with us! X

Your YouTube channel is exceptional and the nomination is well deserved. Sophie and the entire team are creating quality content all the while doing fabulous interior design work. Happy holidays to all!

This video really inspired me and gave me more courage to finally do what I love. I studied psychology and health psychology on the postgraduate level, but I would like to connect it with the interior design. I love the aspect of wellness and interior and how it affects our wellbeing and emotions. I love the video with your new gym! Amazing 🌸 Your story has inspired me Sophie, thank you 🙏

[edwardreginald]

Hi, Sophie!👋🙂

Thank you once again for sharing your incredible journey. It's so easy to see the great amounts of love and energy you pour into all of your projects. I'm in awe of how much you and your team have achieved all these years. You're so lucky having to work with all these genuinely nice talented people.

Stupendous work, Ollie!👏

Been loving your YouTube series! So inspirational to me as a designer

[THutch]

This is one of the best videos I’ve watched about the industry. I’ve had an interest my whole life, but for some reason haven’t ever been able to get into it. One of the things I feel has kept me from getting going is ‘where and how to start.’ I’ve asked different people over the years, and it was once all about which college/school they attended, now I see social media seems to help a lot because people can showcase their talent. I appreciated seeing behind the scenes and I loved hearing all the stories and pathways of your different staff members.
I’ve had ideas for remodeling my own home for the past few years, so at some point I hope to showcase that as my first project. 😊 I did inspire my neighbors to use some ideas I have implemented in my home already, so that’s encouraging.
I’m a new fan of your channel and can’t wait to watch more.

[LuxuriousInteriorDesigns]

[marioodio]

Thank you for this video, I’ve seen it more than once and every time I do I learn something else. Thanks for the inspiration, so much beauty can only make one’s soul rejoice. Great team, great work!!!

[njerugrace]

You're such an inspiration to me. Am an interior designer owning a young interior design company and hopefully I can grow it to the level you are today and even beyond because you've set the right example and shown the way to take. Thank you so much for sharing and keep up with the good work you and your team are doing. 👍🏾 Cheering you on! 👏🏾
