Gathering around the kitchen table in the evenings is an important part of family life for the owners, who moved from London to The Alps to live a stress-free life. By whitewashing the walls, the property feels light and airy. It’s also a great background for their photos and collected treasures.

The dining table is from Peter Kadic, the console table is from Habitat.

This girl's bedroom is a riot of colour compared to the rest of the house. The spotty blinds, fairy lights and wall transfers make it the perfect girly haven.
