Meet Sarah
Sarah Richardson has been a key fixture of the Canadian
design world since starting out in 1995, working behind
the scenes as a prop stylist and set decorator. By the late
90s, Sarah realized that she could carve a niche in the
emerging world of design TV by sharing her practical,
endearing and inspiring approach to décor and design
with viewers. Seventeen years later, Sarah is the host,
co-creator and co-producer of over 250 episodes of
design television that span seven hit HGTV series targeted
directly to the needs of a contemporary audience. Room
Service, Design Inc., Sarah’s House, Sarah’s Cottage, Sarah’s
Rental Cottage, Sarah 101, and Real Potential are a collection
of lifestyle television series dedicated to tackling the
demands and design challenges of modern living.
DON'T FORGET THE ACCENTS!
The final touch in my Monogram kitchen is the accent of
natural walnut. The live edge solid walnut shelves add a
subtly soft tactile element that is echoed in the hexagonal
counter stools I designed (which reflect the backsplash and
pendant profiles) as well as the wood accents throughout
the space. A backsplash is a necessity for durability, but it’s
so much more than simply a functional element - it’s often
regarded as the jewellery in any kitchen and this one is
no exception, but I’ve gone one step further in celebrating
its decorative impact by installing a smaller scale mosaic
on the inset panel of the custom vent hood. For all the
homeowners who’ve found a dramatic backsplash that
they want to celebrate — here’s your chance to let it shine!
When it comes to creating your ultimate
kitchen statement, just remember… it’s the
little details that make all the difference!
Known for her upbeat and easygoing approach to creating
elegant and timeless designs for every room in the home,
Sarah inspires and empowers viewers by effortlessly
sharing her winning style formula. Sarah's enthusiasm for
all aspects of design is infectious, and her ability to engage
and inspire viewers has earned her a loyal and dedicated fan
base across North America and around the world. Sarah’s
programs are seen in over 100 countries worldwide.
Sarah is the author of two best-selling books for
international powerhouse publisher, Simon & Schuster.
Sarah Style was published in November 2014 and At
Home: Sarah Style in November 2015. In addition to
being a past contributor for The Globe and Mail and
Chatelaine, Sarah was Home Design Director for Good
Housekeeping Magazine for Hearst Corporation.
