Five tips on what to buy to get Sophie’s style

Be versatile Sophie swears by the Kallax shelving units, from £20, Ikea. They can be used as office storage, for display, as room dividers or even as a sideboard.

Go retro When that vintage treasure is just too expensive, get the look with an approved copy, like Sophie’s Eames Hang It All wall rack by Vitra, £199, John Lewis, or the replica set by Lakeland Furniture, £34.99.

refresh and renew Use colourful spray paint, from £4.50, Plastikote, to add new life to old furniture – from bed frames to garden sets.

Be young at heart Release your inner child by scooping a giant ice-cream cone from Pineapple Retro, £200, or an oversized Lego storage head from Comaco Toys, £14.49.

Colour splash Personalise your own space by painting one wall a bright colour as Sophie did with the green wall in her office.
