In a leafy pocket of Stoke Newington, Sandrine Zhang Ferron’s Victorian home is a lesson in mixing eras. As the founder of Vinterior, the online marketplace that has transformed how we shop for vintage furniture and homeware, Ferron has spent the past decade immersed in design. Unsurprisingly, her own place is full of fabulous finds, though she explains its style has been a gradual evolution.
“We moved here in December 2013,” she tells me, perched on her sofa, light streaming in through Crittall-style doors that replaced what was once a solid wall. “At the time, it was not exactly our taste, but we could see the potential straight away.”
