Who do you share your home with?
My husband and our children Olivier (5) and Laura (3). They are just going back to school and starting two important stages: entering kindergaten and CP at the big school!
How would you describe your style?
I keep an eye on trends but I do not necessarily follow them! I like to create my own cocoon which includes reusing a lot of materials and furniture.
Tell us more about your sustainable outlook on decorating
We love visiting flea markets, it’s a very interesting way for us to consume with purpose and I think it’s these unique objects that tell a story and give a home it’s soul. I like to be content with little and I find beauty and satisfaction from an item I found for 1 euro!
Where do you find inspiration?
My family and my emotional legacy. My Grandmother gave me the love for old linen and beautiful materials, my uncle gave me the love for flowers and how to dry and preserve them, my Grandfather the love of the garden and cultivating land , my Mother taught me the art of cooking and my Father introduced me to design. These are the heritages that made me aware of decoration and inspired the lifestyle we lead today – and even though some of these people are no longer with us, their memory lives on in my linen, dried flowers and garden.
Your instagram feed is so inspiring. Do you also find online sites as a source of inspiration?
Of course, instagram and blogs are a wonderful source of inspiration. But I think it’s our environment that inspires us the most. The forest of Fontainebleau is a wonderful source of inspiration!
Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home Aurélie!
I especially loved hearing about how Aurélie’s family have inspired some of the items in her home. I’m sure this legacy will live on through Olivier and Laura one day too!
I still remember my Grandmother’s beautifully pressed crisp white linen. My sister and I used to ask her to make the bed over us and one day my sister got her toe caught in a tiny nick and it turned into a gaping hole! Needless to say, she made the beds without us from then on!!
Do you have someone in your family who has influenced your interior style?
Have a lovely day!
