The Coolest Ski Chalet in the French Alps – Interior Inspiration

January 11, 2022
  • Share

A winter home designed for an art collector. The chalet is extravagant. It’cozy. It has stunning views of the French mountain village of Megève. The space is the perfect winter getaway for every ski lover and winter enthusiast. Interior designer, Elliott Barnes, collaborated with his client, Hélène Nguyen-Ban, to create a contemporary home that is the perfect canvas for her large collection of art. Hélène’s taste is minimalist and sophisticated. Barnes’ didn’t want this home to be another typical chalet. He wanted to elevate the contemporary ski chalet design and combine it with his client’s passion for the arts. The final result is truly unique. I haven’t seen anything like it before…have you?

Dining Room

One of my favorite rooms is the dining room. The table and chairs were vintage flea market finds. The faux-sheepskin covers bring in a glamorous winter style that I love! The sculpture is by Pascale Marthine Tayou.

The home is designed with limited materials. Barnes wanted the home to have a minimal and organic feel. Throughout the home, you will find Pierre de Vals stone and pine.

This home isn’t my usual interior design taste. However, I thought there was something so “WOW” about this design. It’s an elevated take on the cabin-style structure you would normally see in a winter getaway abode. Every room has a personal touch and a design twist. I love the use of sculpture and art. Barnes did an incredible job designing this French Alps chalet.

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.
What detail stands out to you first? 🤎
