Sarah Richardson started her career in lifestyle television almost 14 years ago as a behind-the-scenes prop stylist and set decorator. Within a year, Sarah found herself in high demand as an on screen personality and quickly realized that she could carve a niche in the emerging world of design TV by sharing her practical, endearing and inspiring approach to interior design with viewers. Nine years later, Sarah has launched the second season of her new HGTV series: Sarah's House 2.
With two other hit series (Room Service and design inc.) and over 150 episodes tackling the demands and design challenges of clients, Sarah's House 2 gives viewers an intimate look at her personal style as she navigates her second top-to-bottom renovation and empowers viewers to do the same. The Sarah's House series is a fast-paced rollercoaster ride of the reality of renovating when timelines are tight, dollars are limited, and high style is the mandate.
Known for elegant and timelessly classic rooms which combine a unique mix of luxury with great deals, Sarah designs each space to contain the perfect balance of save and splurge. Sarah's enthusiasm for all aspects of home renovation is infectious: from the excitement of demolition to her nerves of steel in navigating the ups and downs of all that can, and will, go wrong in a large scale project.
Sarah is not your average TV decorator; her keen understanding of the fundamentals of top quality construction compliment razor-sharp instincts in all matters of taste and style. She treads the line between a morning of shopping in stilettos for high-end finishes and an afternoon of mucking in when the site needs a major clean up. In each episode Sarah shares her vast knowledge and ingenuity with viewers to inspire them to tackle their own total home renovation with enthusiasm and success. Sarah's House 2 is appointment television with impact!
When not revamping homes for TV, Sarah runs a high-demand design business called Sarah Richardson Design for both commercial and residential projects. Sarah was also named one of the Top 40 Under 40™ for 2007 by Caldwell Partners and the Globe & Mail. Sarah's growing collection of signature indoor and outdoor furnishings will soon be complimented by lighting, bedding, rugs and towels. To keep the demands of a hectic TV life in balance Sarah spends weekends living off the grid at the solar-powered cottage she shares with her husband Alexander, and their two young daughters.
