Transforming a Chalet in the French Alps: A Fresh Breath of Scandinavian Design

Mélanie Lallemand Flucher's Vision

Mélanie Lallemand Flucher, a French interior designer, has breathed new life into a formerly sophisticated, yet dull chalet in the French Alps. She took inspiration from Scandinavian design to bring a fresh, cozy and modern feel to the mountain home.

The Ubiquity of Oak Wood

Oak wood is the star of the show in this chalet's transformation—every room dons oak flooring, giving the whole space a unified look. Additionally, furniture made from oak, such as a rounded coffee table and stylish pendant lights, are central to the chalet's updated aesthetics.

Nordic Comfort with a French Twist

Despite the preponderance of colder colors, like blue and grey, the chalet remains warm and inviting, drawing influence from Nordic design. Yet, the chalet retains a distinctly French Alpine feel, creating an atmosphere of being cozy, homey and terroir.
