Inside interior designer Eva Sonaike’s pattern-filled home | Living with Style
Ойын-сауық
It’s no great surprise that Eva Sonaike’s house is packed full of patterns and bright colours. “I’m from west Africa and I grew up in Germany, so all these elements are reflected in my home and in my style,” says the textiles and interior designer of the northwest London home she shares with her lawyer husband and two teenage children. “I like homes that feel lived in, that have a story, elements that represent who we are.” Watch the video tour for a masterclass in filling your home with colour and pattern.

it's hard to get so many patterns to look harmonious but she pulled it off. Stunning.

It's wonderful to see Eva featured here. She's so talented. Nice to see how she uses her African Origin to influence her style....so unique. As a black African woman I feel so inspired to see someone who looks like me in this space. Representation is important. Just love her ❤
Very lovely and such a relief to get away from the standard all white look. This proves again the importance of color, textiles and prints! ❤️ 💙 💜

EXACTLY!🥹 Everyone’s homes feel so corporate and cold with that modern neutral colour style.
I loved that she shared some of her rules for pattern design, and how to complement patterns.
She's a delight. Beautiful home.

I love your home. And yes I also believe a home should feel and look lived in and tell something about the person(s) that live there. Thank you for sharing.
This really needed to be longer. Like, wayyyy longer. I would love to sit her feet and listen to stores abut art, Africa and travels. Thanks Eva. Love from Japan

Thank you for this video. Not only does it show great ideas of using pattern, art and mounting memorable things on the wall. The video is full of family love. I adore the rug, the antique German chest and the heads representing Eva and her husband)))

Eva, you your designs, asthmatics, approach, stories are so lively, fresh, mod and culturally - wonderfully rich. Such beauty.
I love this home. Everything is so beautiful, warm and well thought out, right from the gentle touch of color in the serene bedroom, to the way all these lovely colors work so well together. It is obvious there is love in this home. And that tiny hint of a German accent rings so true to me. Many years ago my family and l came over from Germany so that is music to my ears. THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY TOUR.
As a young Nigerian who has travelled around a bit myself, I appreciate her tour! Everything is well though-out and that pleases the designer in me to see! Thank you! 💕
What a gorgeous home! I love the bold African textiles and art ... the colours are exquisite. She's so beautiful too.

Loved her home and the story of her connection to her furniture and homewares.
Your dress, bangles, shoes and hair are stunning!! You wear them well.

As a South African also living abroad, I love your home!!!
This is a beautiful home and Africa's style, colors and designs are present! How fabulous is that!
Eva Sonaike has a beautiful home. I love all the west African patterns and textiles in her home.
This is one of the best editions I've seen , she's amazing and her apartment is such a therapy for me , more because I'm Nigerian too and I know and love most of this

Loved everything about this, including her accent. An African Bloomsbury movement begins here. Wonderful. We need to see more and here more. Africans are extremely creative and look forward to seeing more work from African artists and designers, particularly those who call Europe home.
What amazing parents she has as inspiration. She shows such confidence in her designs. Everything has meaning and was curated perfectly.
Her home is absolutely beautiful as well as herself.
Thank you Eva for the way you bring traditional patterns forward by your own designs.❤
as a fellow nigerian, i was so inspired by this! ✨
Thank you so much for sharing your space with us it was a privilege
I love that she explained how she mixes styles!
Love the blend of patterns, colors and style. I thoroughly enjoyed the aesthetics of her home. Beautifully designed home. That chest from Germany was absolutely wonderful
How blessed to live in such a wonderful home that is truly yours.Beautiful textiles.

Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA. Thank you so much for this video. I love the two heads. I also like decorating with books. But I often think in terms of decorating with things rather than with patterns. The patterns you showed are beautiful and have given me new ideas. Best wishes to you. ❤
Beautiful awe inspiring space. Such a well curated representation of African design ❤
Love the colors. So brave to step out of the beige 👏👏💕🌷
What a beautiful home. I loved all the patterns and colours and Eva's stories were so interesting. Beautiful!
This is the vibe i want to creare in my home. I love it. Bravo!
