My Sanctuary: Laura Stephens
While home has often been considered a feminine space, too few opportunities have been given to women to tell their stories about the places they inhabit and the objects they value. Our sanctuaries articulate our unique aesthetics, rituals and needs and so become a beautiful expression of selfhood.
In this series we discover the stories of home and life told by some of the wonderful women in our midst.
Based in London, Laura Stephens is a residential interior designer who has a holistic practice that looks to create spaces that are as beautiful as they are practical for her clients. Laura belief — much like ours at &YOU — is that home should be a sanctuary, a place to find enduring comfort in the world. Laura shows us some of her favorite spaces in her sanctuary.
“I love to bake breakfast muffins with my youngest daughter on Sundays”
“We always have a family meal with our three girls on Sunday and I like to make it special with candles and flowers”
“My office doubles up as a guest bedroom so I often work in this little nook at the top of the house too”
“Our bedroom is calm and soothing, I love it …”
“I love this peaceful spot to read in my bedroom, it’s a sun trap and overlooks our garden”
“Sundays inevitably involve a little work. This is a favorite corner of my office”
