As a stylist, Sarah Davenport’s job is to create beautiful vignettes that delight the eye, and a tour of her Victorian family house in Stamford, Lincolnshire, reveals that she likes to bring her work home. Brimming with quirky antiques and unusual vintage pieces, the rooms feature arresting details at every turn. A former florist, Sarah loves to enliven her home with plants and flowers and at this time of year, festive arrangements and garlands abound. ‘My home wouldn’t feel finished without lots of flowers and greenery,’ she explains. ‘It brings a home to life.’
