    Brophy’s appointment-only showroom, which opened in September, gives customers a tailored shopping experience, complete with a smoothie, tea, or coffee. The majority of the kitchen area features concrete, which Brophy chose for its simplicity. “I really wanted something that (would allow me to) bring in different styles, and they would work with this kitchen,” Brophy says. Her biggest piece of advice is to stay away from trends and instead take inspiration from spaces that make you feel comfortable. “Your house should scream, ‘you,’ not whisper, ‘catalogue,’” Brophy says. brophyinteriors.com

    CHAIRS “They have a vintage look and feel to them. I think bringing in the wood juxtaposed to the concrete adds some warmth.”

    WOOD PIECES “(Layering these) works so well. They’re vintage and from Turkey.”

    FRIDGE “The wood adds to the warmth and feels a bit older, like maybe it washed up on the beach in Tulum.”

    PENDANTS “I love that li le squiggle, and I think they are timeless.”

    TILE “I get tired of things really easily, so I needed something that could add to the space and not scream.”

    ISLAND “I like … little details that are unexpected and draw your eye.”
