Sofia Vergara is an absolute icon embodying fabulous in all its measures. The Modern family veteran gave a detailed tour of her home with AD, and it is safe to say that we are huge fans of the aesthetics. Her home's layout structure is from the 1990s and has a lot of character. Sofia and the designer, O'Hara Davies-Gaetano, have used white and hushed hues to make the space look fresh, clean, and bright while adding a lot of history and texture to the space without making it look museum-esque.

Unlike other celebrity homes, she made sure that the space didn't lose its homely essence and looked well-lived in, as she intended. From her exquisite china collection to beautiful antiques and 18th-century-inspired tapestries, the details bring in a Mediterranean vibe crossed with European feels. Here is our in-depth look at her home with some recommendations to help you recreate a similar vibe inside your home.

Baroques And Antiques

If you check out all the living spaces in Vergara's home, you can easily capture the influence of antiques and baroque art through her aesthetic. The aura of antiques is used meticulously and inspiringly throughout, whether it's with the antique Italian chandeliers, gilded baroque armchair, or the mirror in the formal living room that looks rustic and vintage. Even her favourite corner of her home, the bar, is hidden behind a classic wooden rustic cabinet that adds subtle teal hues and a level of intricacy. 

Antiques are a great way to add character to a space without disrupting its overall minimal vibes. Their intricacy and history add the perfect amount of layers, and Sofia and her stylist have used them to enrich the overarching monochromatic feel.

Hushed Hues

In her brief chat with AD, Sofia confesses that she strictly wanted to stray away from all sorts of colours, "I don’t like crazy jolts of colour, and I really don’t like pastels—they remind me of The Golden Girls." Her thought was very well received by Ohara, who meticulously brought together the space with neutral tones. Be it her seating in the formal dining room or the family area, the soft cushions, wall decor, or centrepieces all have hues that complete the monochromatic white vibe of the place very beautifully. Even the art pieces in the dining room, which are inspired by 18th-century French, have colours that bring together the mood of the room.

Golden Accents

Gold accents have played a great role in bringing together Sofia's home and creating a strong visual cue for the space. They especially stand out in the kitchen for us, where her La Cornue stove is proudly stealing the spotlight. All the handles, the water fixture, the knobs around the sink, the entire space is filled with golden accents, which perfectly complement the white onyx counter and overall monochromatic look of the place. We especially love the gold inside the hanging lights, which looks quite aesthetic. It goes without saying that adding golden accents to your home makes it look opulent, luxe, sophisticated (if done right) and adds richness. You can easily replicate that by adding gold-accents in subtle places like door handles and water fixtures or with the lighting.

Old Tapestry And Rustic Wooden Furniture

No decor piece adds more texture, depth, and layer, quite like rustic wooden furniture. This magical capability is brilliantly used by Sofia and Ohara, and the output is stunning, to say the least. The corridors, family room, formal drawing room, and even the outdoor patio feature some truly remarkable wooden furniture. The unfinished, unpolished vibe paired with the complementary old wall tapestries and rugs adds both functionality and aesthetic charm. The key here is to play with different complementing textures that embody the same vibe to create a balanced space that looks visually fantastic.

Ceramics And China

Sofia puts a lot of emphasis on the details, and a huge part of that is her China collection. She wants to make people feel like they're eating out of something special. We also noticed that her rooms have beautiful ceramics of all shapes and sizes that more or less have the same vibe —minimalistic with a tinge of rustic charm that looks luxe and expensive. They are placed in a well-thought-out manner throughout her home, especially around living spaces. Ceramics certainly adds dimension to the space and makes it look put together.
