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.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
