Sophia Pouget de St Victor is the UK Editor at Homes & Gardens, leading the editorial direction for the UK facing Homes & Gardens website. She brings readers the latest trends, expert insights, and timeless design inspiration tailored for a UK audience.
She has previously worked in the luxury homes and interiors industry and studied Garden Design in London, where she mastered her passion for creating landscapes that have a visceral impact on their onlookers. Home, though, is where Sophia's heart is. While she adores a wide variety of interior styles, she prefers interiors with a uniqueness that challenges any definable style. That said, there's little she finds more indulgent than walking down Pimlico Road and admiring the window display at Robert Kime; she has always found his interiors perfectly judged for a home that exudes an easy, unforced elegance.
Sophia lives in West London with her partner, along with two very naughty wiry terriers, and a plump cat named Lettuce.
