Sophie helped us turn our house into a home. We had the basics but not the details. Her advice made all the difference. She is easy to talk to and gives great advice. Now we have a house that we love.

Sophie helped us choose the window furnishings for our new house. The curtains that we had made are just stunning and the blinds work in well with the whole house. Thank you.

Sophie provided me with the finishing touches and ideas needed to complete my home. I felt she understood my objectives and her research of pieces and items, created beautiful areas I now love.

None of my furniture or artwork looked right when I moved. Sophie was fantastic at rearranging furniture and regrouping 'things'. She saw colours and combinations that I never would have tried myself. It was really fun to work with her. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and my place looks great. It is finally 'home'.

I am so glad to have met you and allowing you to work on my house. No words can describe how happy I am with the finished work such as paint colours, choice of furniture etc. Your input has been most invaluable and I have learned a lot from you.

Sophie has been the best guide. she is kind, thoughtful, and have an incredible taste.She also always takes care of your budget and the quality of the products she recommends. We haven't finished the project but everyone that has come to our house has been very impressed.

We invited Sophie to help us create a home in our newly purchased property. As we had existing furniture etc. we needed Sophie’s advice as to which pieces should be retained and which needed to be replaced to create a harmonious and naturally flowing house.

Karen, Malvern

We highly recommend Sophie, who recently helped us design a parent's retreat/reading room. Sophie provided us with samples, ideas and the confidence to work out what we love, she then used her styling magic to pull all the elements together.

Tanyia, Ormond

After recently moving house, we were feeling unsure about how to update our furniture to suit our new place (which was very different in style from our old place) and style it to make it look and feel like home.

Martha Thomas, Balwyn

I chose Sophie Kost of My Beautiful Abode by one day simply going on line and searching for interior stylists. My Beautiful Abode popped up and I looked at her work, then that of others over a couple of days, but I kept going back to My Beautiful Abode’s site.

Living room Before and After

One warm summers day we received a call from a client that had finally had enough with their dated living and dining rooms.  Having lived in the house for 30 years and not making any major changes from the original build of the 1950’s house we were called in to make...
