It’s Friday people – woohoooo! I hope you’ve got some fun plans for the weekend. Perhaps a little interior ‘zhuzhing’ in the mix? If so, I’ve got plenty of inspiration for you here on MSH! 

Today, we’re heading to Emilie’s home high up in the rooftops of Strasbourg, France which she shares with her husband and two young children Jeanne and Gustave. Emilie loves to surround herself with beauty – and has created a wonderful home to return to after a day working as a general practitioner doctor. Despite the tricky angles and beams, every room feels spacious and full of light (keep a look out for cover use of dormer windows and skylights) – and there’s somewhere to relax around every corner. 

Ready to take a peek? Bienvenue! 

The dining room and sitting room is all one room and a glass partition separates the home office from the main living space. I am often asked about glass room dividers – if you’re a dab hand, you could build one yourself, if not, I’d recommend a company like Elfa or Velfac. 

There’s something about a piano in a home, don’t you think? – just the sight of one is enough to make me feel relaxed. Alice used to play, and I loved hearing her practise (so much better than a recorder!). 

I really like how Emilie has included accent walls throughout her home. The colour in the master bedroom is not unlike the ‘Blushing peach’ we used to have in our bedroom. 

The children share a bunkbed (from Oliver Furniture). Pretty wallpaper from Sandberg adds interest on the side away from the windows. 

I love the black radiator here.

The vintage school desk provides plenty of space for creating (there is some fantastic vintage school furniture available on Etsy*).

Skylights fill the bathroom with light and a shelf allows for art or other items in a tight space. 

Very charming! 

I think my favourite thing is how the light dances off a disco ball in the main room (it’s Friday after all!), and of course the children’s room – I’d have loved a room like this when I was little! 

Is there anything that stands out to you? 

See more corners of Emilie’s home over at @lunettesetsalopettes. 

And here are a few other wonderful French homes from the archives to explore this weekend: 

There are even a couple of homes belonging to Swedes (something special happens when two cultures combine!): 

I hope this has given you plenty of ideas for your own home!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
